not to her country so occupied militarily, which is something that russia is not doing. and cows are so busy assessing over a rupture from the people in her front door, all well baggy benito do somewhat pretty well. backgrounds and histories of starting wars implemented the ideological extremism, by the way, to just come hang out in her country permanently and apparently been in progress. he wasn't lost on the russian foreign ministry life next to the aggressive precisely about russian history, which was constantly attacked from the west, including from the territories of what is now germany, sweden and france. nature was not a peaceful organization, but admitted tree political blog whose crimes include in particular the destruction of the libyan stays, the brutal bombing of yugoslavia on the 20 a k us in a got a strong. so cows also says that she hasn't noticed a nato expansion ism or escalation. and that those who say that's happening are

just spreading fake news look back yard. dear c o, the foreign guys in uniform, that extension is a, apparently it has to be spelled out for her. so probably to do that. as for escalation, well how many times it roughly explained, but nato was escalating conflict and approaching read lines with everything from flooding you frame with weapons to train the neo nazis on the russian border. and that's just for starters. and yeah, there was a promise from the secretary of state james baker during the george h w bush presidency to former soviet president, mikhail gorbachev. for nato not to treat europe like a giant slippery waters lie the ends with a big splash down in russia. if gorbachev would be cool with nato troops just have in germany indefinitely, we agreed that there is no intention to expand a needle security zone further to the east of the supplies in general. and not only

to the german democratic republic, which we do not want to incorporate. and it's all like this issue of nato expansion just suddenly became a point of contention over you. craig way back in 2007 russian president vladimir puts in, was already citing it as a problem. i think it is obvious that nato expansion has no relation with the modernization of the alliance itself, or with ensuring security in europe. on the contrary, it represents a serious publication that produces the level of neutral trust. so nato, at this point is like the guy who's camping out on your front lawn. well, trying to claim that he's just plain neighborhood watchman. you know, just keeping an eye on things while he peers right into your window. and if anyone argues that they made a promise not to creep on russia, they'll just deny that that was never the case. claim nature promise russia it would not expand after the cold war. fact,

such an agreement was never made. nato's door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949 and that has never changed a tons of a reality check. nato has been so obsessed with russia that even french president emanuel michael, called the alliance brain dead in an interview with the economist a couple of years ago saying that need are needed to basically get a life and find something better to do that, to just fixate on russia, yes, kind of callous didn't get that particular memo though. the number one's the right to the us is the china russian alliance. that's one us republican presidential candidate, vivek, rama swami has claims during an interview on a b. c news. earlier we're giving a speech in new hampshire, the politician also said he would not spend another dime of american money on the will. that doesn't affect us interests. i think the job in the us president is to look out for american interest. and what i think the number one threat to the us military is right now. our top military threat is the sign of russian alliance. i

think that by fighting further in russia by further army ukraine, we are driving russia into china's hands. another republican presidential candidate nikki haley office spoke counts about the ukraine conflicts while claiming the busha has threatened to target poland and the bo 6, which is something most go, has actually never said this is bigger than ukraine. this is a more about freedom. what we heard china said they were going to take hong kong. they did it. russia said they were going to invade you crane. we watch that happens . china says taiwan is next. we better believe them. russia said poland and the baltics are next. if that happens, we're looking at a world war from a vice chairman of the us libertarian national committee of in for a tote. is the candidates to oppose interference, a new cranes of fast, i likely to receive support for many americans? well, i think that it's going to that the, the candidates who oppose any involvement in ukraine are, are going to get

a boost because more, more, the american people are getting sick of paying so much such high taxes to defend countries that are even the united states and ukraine is not part of the united states if russia was attacking florida. yeah, by all means that would be cause for concern. but you praise the different countries hardly, not under the purview of the american federal government or the military or the american military. so the candidates that, that point that out to say we need to get out of this new stop spending money. let's have a tax cut. let's spend that, that money and things that we actually want those cans are going to get a huge boost of the candidates that insist on supporting this war. that looks like an exact copy of the pointless war. they just bought enough gas in are going to face a loss. the only people who benefits are the weapons makers who send weapons because they are getting a huge amount of money from the american taxpayers. that is not the majority of the american popular method. i need, i need half a percent, you know, tiny fraction of

a percent of americans that are benefiting every one else in the united states is losing because of this. and if we stopped doing it, every one in the united states, except for those weapons makers, is going to benefit but as well and presidents nicholas madero has been welcomed in the saudi arabian city of john to is the 1st time since 2016 to believe the oven his way now has visited the gulf kingdom as comments as the day before us secretary of state's blinking is expected in saudi arabia. for a security co operation may say, during this visit for toll clubs, a new level of relations between leaving oil produces saudi arabia and venezuela, with the latin american country, holding an estimated 300000000 barrels of reserves, both nations, also a founding members of the peg group of oil exposes professor of caribbean latin american studies. daniel shows that he's being dependent on look between saudi

arabia and venezuela. should be respected by washington. the sorry is the sending a clear message that they're going to be independent in the foreign policy. that they are not the back yard. the northern africa in the middle east, and on the back yard. oh, by the united states. did the fact that they met with the chinese met with the iranians and now have overtures towards syria and now been as well. it was extremely significant. this uh, goes through correctly. it gets everything, whether it was trump. busy bite in bush obama they the. busy has done everything to try to isolate block aid and frankly starve the countries that we're talking about . and the fact that the saudi arabia would open up towards them, definitely flies in the face of the us that considers themselves the neo colonial overboard to them. at least we interesting and see how the site is played, as it seems like they're trying to come across is more neutral than their former foreign policy, which they, they really function as

a battling ram of the us in the region. and now the opening up towards our new partners which, which, which, which could have dire consequences for the us. a palestinian toddler has died in hospital all to be sure it's by is way the troops in the occupied westbank. the idea of claims, the boy was likely hit by mistake during the exchange of 5 between his riley forces on palestinian militants. autism at least correspond to maria from ocean that has the details. but how much to me me, a 3 year old palestinian boy died from boys and his really hospital after he was injured in what a israel says was an idea of military raid in the occupied west bank. the incident happened on says day mohammed was with his dad and the car that was fired and the father was also critically and seriously injured by he was later released home. well, how much was hailey's just by a helicopter, from the scene to one of these really hospitals,

where the doctors have been fighting for his life for several days. but the boys passed away earlier on monday. his mother, sad that she tried to see him this morning, but she was denied the entry to the hospital. the audio said in a statement that the child and the father have probably been heat by the idea of fire off to these really forces were responding to a certain attack by palestinian militants to ship them to sale. but look like i sort of be caught and intended to go to my uncle's house, which was not far from mine. when suddenly it was trying to buy a gun fly. i felt pain in my shoulder and stopped the vehicle. but when i looked at my son, i saw that he had phone onto the car, was covered in blood with a bullet wound to his hat. and his earlier interview from the hospital and the homeless father said that he didn't hear any gun showed prior to the fire that he his heart. and he claims that these rarely forces were not attacks at the time when

the incident happened. space information is of course, hard to be verified. the investigation is currency and to go into exactly what has happened. we spoke with the victims on colors. one is the governor of ramallah, who share the details of the tragedy will criticize in the international community . if it's heading a blind eye to the plight of palestinians, a force of death, no more than with all was in my house next to my brother's place. and i heard the sound of gunfire, and his family screams for all they were taken to the military check point. they refused to allow the wounded one to enter the hospital, but then maurice mohammed's in front of the eyes so that they could see him drenched in his own blood. and normally them, they allowed us to take him to hospital some of and i'm not even inside our homes. we do not feel safe because of these riley criminal gangs. the previous experiences on the palestinian people. it was proven that this occupation is above the law and

israel approved that it does not care about the international law. and also carries out as crimes in the name of the law with international support have the have that in these on just 12 which is always measured by 2 different standards when the boundaries palestinian. would you not hear any voice without all, perhaps only a shelly voice, but even there is in is really child who is terrified. the whole world will move and there will be many organizations didn't talk about the issue and the now so cold terrorism. what i can have, we will know back anyone, but we say to these institutions, you have to measure with the same standards and the palestinian child women. and now there's like any other abused ones in this world. heavy i was to a developing tragedy in central russia now where at least 18 people have died. one more than 50 were made in hospital across several regions of the being poisoned by a by to be locally made side of mess. an old was reportedly used to produce the

particularly you see people with a broken hand or leg or ribs, or around what, what codes the most is a broken family. the last thing i remember was being on the train, again consciousness a while ago. but i don't know where my friends and family are. no one here knows either family members or seems searching for their loved ones inside hospital, what's desperately. and then many who don't find loc head to the marjorie. they've been go to bundles of bitches of the dead hoping against hope. but some have no luck at the march of rece. either. i have looks on my sweet brother in at least 20 hospitals and 3 most tories. i haven't found him. what do i do? but in a deadly deals like this, it's not easy to find a non so all divide towards to come for these people run sharma,

all the additional label de delivery of ation is not gaining so much stain that even america's largest buying jp morgan chase is starting to sound worried about the trend. deal or ization is evident in a fix reserves where the dollars share has declined to record a share in experts declined, but it is still emerging in commodities. and the analysis, the jp morgan pondered side high interest rates in the us, as well as american banking sanctions, is the 2 major factors behind the mounting. the dollar wise ation, they also say the world's biggest developing economy is united within the brick squeeze all spearheading assets to ditch the green back as the us to alicia and global central bank was this is dropped from 72 percent in 2002 to a right called low, a 58 percent lost in china has also reported the overtaking the us in global expos further endangering the oldest, had gemini, all to contribute to chris,

and it saves the old as of a jp morgan. reports are essentially hen say, and it dissolves to us consequences in the us imperialism. they say basically, and is don't going to say the us, these did the changes foreign policy means to stop building motor, co, internationally. so i think that may be a sort of the availed message to say, look, what are you doing with ukraine? you'll basically destroying the us economy, you're destroying, or the international relationships by with whites. the dollar has been used to generations and generations because of the us, the strong, strong position globally, and that's who being destroyed. so i think that's saying, look, stop doing this and stop rebuilding the bridges that you're trying to break between china and russia and the rest of the tournament must his friend logan was quite and last play in, in, in the russian financial markets until at the start of especially miniature operations, but it was changed. he told you go to leave or you'll be punished. and i think this, i look, you'll know, i know you hunting all business because obviously that's the on the list. main view is, is how the businesses have to take you more than that. you'll hudson the global economy

with a stall. well, we're going to try and do something about it. so you can keep on top of all the latest news updates faced by visiting our website, r t dot com. as always we appreciate your company, scientific chasing audience, the, the, the,

[000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross stop. are all things are considered on peter live? i'll probably give the most dangerous mention of nato's ukraine. proxy war on russia is the issue of escalation, washington minutes. all eyes warned moscow not to escalate while the wes, because repeatedly done so, nato's indifference to escalation, which is all at peril. the of the, to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, martin j america. she's a award winning journalist and commentator. and in budapest we have jordan, samuel, he is a pod cast throughout the capital, which can be found on youtube and locals. hi, jillian, cross up rules and effects. that means you can jump any time you want,

and i always appreciate it. all right, let's start out with georgian in budapest, you and i've talked quite extensively about theories of escalation here. and it's mentioned all the time, but i don't think there's a lot of probably it's probably understood what's going on here. so just give us what you think is the west theory of escalation charge as well. i think the westbury of the escalation is that it is convinced that russia is afraid of escalating russia is afraid of extending the will be on your brains borders and the roster is afraid of going you clear of, you know, basically using the it's bits altima the weapons that means for the west, this is a freebie, but it can do whatever it wants. so essentially, the terence has broken down like because it was a little weak and, you know, about brush as much as we want. we, you know,

we can ascend most sophisticated weapons to ukraine, like ukraine, uh, use the weapons on russian territory as the u. k. foreign secretary of james cleverly, natalie named a service over here, you'll find the internet. and that's okay, because we know russia will be afraid of escalate that because we're actually, he's afraid of us rosters. afraid of going to deal with that. we only other hand, i'm not afraid of russia. we only allow in another afraid of escalating. and so the apple and russian knows that we're not afraid. so therefore we, we can do what we like and, and that's why it is just on the road to escalation. and everything is doing is basically rejecting any negotiation short of total russian surrender. and now is obviously one of the west that mom is that uh, who can be brought to justice. then i was looking to be in the, in to this conflict until wooten is sitting behind boss of the hey,

and this is just an ongoing thing. much as a major was really of an ongoing war against the service until i handed mill. awesome. it's over. and he was sitting behind bozza today, i want to talk about political escalation a little bit later, which is a really good point or what is what, what do you think about this? because this assumes that there's a, is a big game of bluffing. and if we were to go back to the origins of this special military operation, russian said that there would be consequences, a bit secured demands were not met and there about, well, the, the, the west stop with the russians were bluffing, and the bluff was called. now i cannot disagree in any respect what george had to say here. the only problem is, is the, of the time scale it with a context here, because russia is putting up with that with a lot of this, the absolutely right, having a 3rd party attacking your country. i mean, this is extraordinary for a great power, but the, at a certain point, i still will contend that, you know,

the russians are not bluffing, and then they will use whatever means is necessary to protect their security. just so they have a different interpretation of how about to go, how to go about doing it. but george's right, i mean, these are, the longer this period law is extended, the more over the west is in bolden and emboldening the ukrainians. martin. yeah, but that's of the right time. just move in there. i mean, um, how much do you want building the credit? i think the point of a, it's not a rush, it's blessing. i think the west is blessing what the west is playing a massive cru detail with this move. and i think also it's based not just on the plus, but i think it's also based on a lot of misinformation. and this information was in their own circles. i really believe the west of the leads, the leaders of these countries and they, so the top bras are really buying the run now to wait too much, never look at their home. they went when you and when you,

which helped jermel this and you create everything binary. and you have a simple site, everything, and you, you just create a black and white scenario and strip over the new. it's new courage. you're telling us to do that and there's no real scripts new from the present. the few john was out that they're actually doing this job, you know, right. the starting to jo for the rest of the he's a lab who, you know, like degree. so i'm guy, uh kids i found book and so is it leaders themselves that are actually believing this struggle more and more because, you know, it's like a rush. it only terms in one way, this escalation and as we, as we witness to know more and more as the months go past, the stakes get raised higher and higher because they said when the less than the leads, don't believe in this adage that went in the whole, the big, you know, now you did get in a georgias may just point about some, the, the cleverly statement, you know, it was, it's been a week or media gas of people really put in a foot in the mountains. and then if you remember the lindsey graham comments about

to have the, the i'm, you know, the crime even think about pulling that up by saying, well, actually, i'm also very sorry about, you know, the schools of thousands of you kind of sold as the, you know, dinah, not even a fact. uh, you know, they do training is don't even factor into it that any of any recognition that tool that i was thinking about before we can be in here. i often say on this program, i wonder what future historians will say. i'm going to show it to george right now . maybe it, which is future psychologists. we should be talking about, okay, the understanding the mindset of these, that the leads and in the end you premium of a leads as well. because the, what is another element of this escalation is be in everett ability to brushes defeat this as they truly believe this. and that's what makes even more dangerous. george. yeah, the, the absolutely the sponsor with that because they, they believe this. oh, roger will be defeated. we will win. and then the next question is, yes,

but russia is a nuclear superpower. how is it possible, then a new visible i would just simply accept defeat. it kind of happened has never happened. um, does it when the, you know, that's the reference brother, you know, mistreated, wrapped in the rainbow encased in bought in. and then they made my whatever that say to george big they're, they're just bad guys and bad guys. so, but that's right, that's right. and then uh, the, but the issue, you know, why are they doing this like that cannot be, you know, honestly, then any very easy way. because why have they gone all in or ukraine? i mean, unless you remember since 1940 between 19451991, the less was able to live with soviet presence. you know, all the way up to the brendan, the gate. i mean, you know, who is country is lives on the soviet domination. that was okay. and, you know, they managed to design those sorts of, uh,

boss your far reaching agreements with the soviet union. and uh, and it never occurred to them to uh, to provoke a conflict. but now apparently we come live with, you know, i, i do show you brand new brain must be imagine when we're ready to sacrifice tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of lives. you know, destroying our own economy is because ukraine must be in, in nature large, you don't have to, is going to get is a spelling. and again, as, as a multi and points out, the journal is low, low. john was never asked why, what, what is the reason, what's, what's the western interest here? why, why it's so important to us that you grain is a member of nature. yeah. and even after the illegal change of power in 2014, you know, the world, the, it was a suspension. i mean we, we all were living and we, you know, and we do in the back and there was supposed to be a management of the crisis in the dom baths,

which i have to assume the russians believe the west we now, we know there was fraudulent but even during that time it was the next essential known was reaching for the button. now we are martin. yeah. and uh, you know, is accept reaching a quite a pace. so we've got an important meeting needs. so a member. ready in a couple of weeks time and, and there's a huge around going on the mainland between uh, lights and members, and some leaders of european countries. i'm an zaleski because you know you're going about 2 months where i wrote an article called them and even dumb when i come compared to michael schultz who made an offer to. and so that's key to 12 piece with russia. but as an incentive, we'll give you more weapons. so it'll give you some sort of nathan membership. now he's, you know, it's if you don't stop laughing at the top, it's just an hilarious idea and it's a good, very good example of just how kristin. a moved, i'm frankly, wrong,

missed missed jobs, completely out. the west is just as the west take on the situation with russia. i've enjoyed is absolutely right. you can't really win against a nuclear super about, but, you know, one of the with this, this situation was lensky is, had a nice things to be going a bit rogue. and he seems to be making alluded threats that, you know, if he doesn't get some sort of promise at this meeting, don't, yes. then, um, then what he going road could mean what possibly apps looking for piece do and turning his back on the west. no. completely going road with his own military because we should never forget the ukrainian mission is really a western mission. we consolidate, no matter how many statements the west makes. so bite and makes in the press the window actually involved in the russian war. and i, this is something else which we should be looking at is a completely preposterous. this idea under the west is not

a rule with russia either under the james,
