banks, there's a term for that's called money loss. net again is what the, the majority of the suspicious activity reports also says. so we feel that this accusation is consistent with the pattern that we're seeing. frankly in other countries. we believe there are multiple dock. now the evidence seems to indicate that the bite and administration and previously, joe biden is vice president, had corrupt connections and ukraine. we can recall how hunter bite and joe biden son was hired by verisk, my holdings and natural gas company in ukraine, despite having almost no experience or relation to the issue of natural gas and was paid quite a salary for that. and that the prosecutor and your grand new with looking into it was fired, and joe biden brag about, had expired. so now we understand there has been an effort by the the i to conceal and to not pursue the investigation and to the binding family around this issue

with biden's, critics are pointing to the recent indictment of trump is yet another example of the pollutants ization. and weapon is ation of the judiciary and of the department of justice to serve political apps. they argue that biden is simply trying to prevent donald trump from being able to run against him and the 2024 election that he's using. the department of justice to carry out a political agenda, and this is simply a, a moment where the american law enforcement agencies are revealing themselves to be blatantly corrupt and politicize. so we'll have to see how things develop with this . federal indictment against donald trump will just expanding on the points caleb was making talk show host and political commentator, steve malls pro, believes the fact the same allegations against president biden are ignored, proves the case against donald trump is political. i don't believe that it's justified to be going after a former president for having documents in his possession when the current

president has documents that had documents in several locations, several locations, including his garage, where he keeps his court. his prize corvette, which is just a garage door when, which is, you would have, you know, when it's open, anybody could walk in. i just think that this is political. you have a special prosecutor that was appointed by the, by attorney general in november of last year. november of 2022. already here in the beginning of june, we have charges, an indictment, the whole thing. when the hunter bind investigation's been going on for 5 years into his taxes and a gun application that he, that he filed. and these, that this document that the f b i just handed over to a committee in the congress, which allegedly shows bribery involved the joe biden with bereavement when he was vice president. that it's been the f

b i position for years and years and years. so why the rush for trump and no rush whatsoever for the by means, it just stinks, it looks bad and it is bad for, for, for, for everybody involved in, in the criminal justice system in the united states. okay. something else to bring you today, rivalry being functions have agreed on the legal basis. the whole much delayed presidential legislative elections. the votes were supposed to have been held 3 years ago. however, on certain days, remain with the country still very much divided, following the destabilizing nate to intervention in 2011 libya especially, descended into kills after they toppling and killing of its former leader in lieu of market, delphi followed by a fruitful civil war, in which nature this allies supported ripple forces before the turmoil, libya had a strong. all of a sudden nato is over throw created a sail states and provided an opening for turbo group such as ice o r t got

a chance to talk to the lady in the spokes person. the former get off a government's was able to him in an exclusive interview. sure. the challenges this country is still facing today, including the, this unity of libyan society in the wake of the nature of intervention package, the black, perhaps the libyan revolutionary regime made a mistake by not taking advantage of the opportunities that were available to him in social terms and interaction with tribes, as well as an ideological and political spears, in order to resolutely correct some mistakes made before those fateful events, occurred in february 2011. there were many means to reconcile with liberty and people, including religious ones. in addition, it was possible to appeal to the existing legislative bodies at the time. there was also a unified libyan army. but later all these channels were destroyed by natal bonds.

natal completely destroyed the libyan armed forces with all military bases, aircraft arms formations and everything related to them which are necessary for the libyan people to insure their own security. the people also need legitimate elected political structures, but nato destroyed all of those structures, eliminated their leadership, forbade those people from electing new ones and appointed new structures from a broad, within the framework of 4 in agreements under the auspices of when a lindsey, you know, we libyans themselves are morally and culturally ready for reconciliation and dialogue to reach the solution. however, the current situation in libya does not allow this to happen because it was artificially planned to deepen the disunity and fragmentation of the libyan society . or the proof of this is in the fact that rival so called legitimate political

structures were created with the full support of the un and the west. they were provided with large budgets and armed formations and tied to certain tribes, geographical areas and militias. thus, the west guaranteed that these parties would not be able to come to an understanding even if they wanted to, because their interest fundamentally contradict each other. both from the point of view of geography and finance and, and military terms. libby, you mean those libyans whom we can now see on the political stage or ponds carrying out the plans of the west as they are financial beneficiaries with large profits. the west uses, the disunity of libyan society, created by the nato invasion in 2011. just as it was, a new rock were split still persists, or another non which has become a cause i states because with the existing split, it cannot be called a flood states. this also happened in afghanistan and in somalia for some libya is

not on another planet. it is not science fiction. it is a link in the chain of imperialist control over this region from the united nation should withdraw its mission from the democratic republic of congo. only when the country gained strength. so say is a top un official, making those words during a meeting in the cold police capital. it is easily the most that we are going to continue this week, and at the same time work for the congo lease authorities. so that the process of the comes of the state becoming more powerful will enable us to reduce un nations presence. but to do so responsibly. un official also mentioned the frustration of peace capers with on risk continuing in western parts of the country . wrecked by conflicts with military grits. the un peacekeeping mission to the new

york the become at the end of the previous century. it's one of the largest and costliest in the world with an annual budget around $1000000000.00. and while the un plans the space for now to move, well, it wasn't very warmly welcomed by some locals we spoke to on the streets of the capital can shift. so the, this was shouldn't even take a week to be over with us. we are surprised that western is a provoking, more conflict instead of finishing it. so we realize they came to that own interests or research repeated this war, restarted again. now, a year ago, people are dying, but the international community in many countries don't care about it. the d r c need supports, as the green does, we need strong security and mailed to assistance. we can't expect any help from westerners, as they have never resolved annual world conflict, even their own issues. all this comes from the time of colonization and slavery. we can't expect help from the west and we need to be strong. the 100 and president

test touchstone in china on her 1st visit after the countries re established formal diplomatic relations back in march. both states underlined the one china policy as a fundamental basis of growing bilateral relations on the for january, the 2 sites have somebody own it relevant commitments. johnny pushed for a robust beginning of china on juris relations on the basis of mutual respect, the quantity mutual benefits and common development. it fully demonstrates the standing up for the one to try and the principal is the right thing to do, which has the overwhelming support of the international community that represents the trend of the wells fargo. can't do anything. can you have a visit? comes on the heels of a newly opened chinese embassy in the central american nations capital. everything ceremony was attended by hunter and foreign ministry officials in march on tourist cuts, diplomatic ties with time on recognize the island as part of china. the switch reduce

the number of countries that's diplomatically recognized by well now to start live to the fixture of the shanghai center international studies. think tag nelson, one for his take on developments. you're very welcome. mr. wong hunter is re established as we said, ties with china back in march. now we have this official visit. can you give us a sense, the overall picture, how significant these renewed diplomatic steps are for the countries? or i believe under us, complete to this talks which tried to establish diplomatic relations be march the sea. and so it is all too natural for president assume mall or a cost, or to now make a official visit to buy g. so as a result, so the number of countries that still remain high as we supply one has come down to 13 by now. this is expected and not surprising at all. we're showing that people do

understand how to be all the right side of history. all right. and uh, uh, uh, i might be wrong, but the reason for badging to have a slate delayed. uh, you know, the process of accepting uh, some of the remaining country just to, to do the switch might be dispute leave some breathing space. the firewall, which again, is also understandable. uh hundreds decided to completely separate away its relations with taiwan, supporting the one china policy. how much of that was that was perhaps a pre requisite by paying for that which relations to, to store on couldn't more a country's follow suit in that regard? well, i mean, the one china policy is something that is widely accepted in the international

community and everybody recognizes one china and that's why one is part of china. so actually i wouldn't be surprised if some of the remaining certain country is it's not all a row, so eager to jump that ties was tied. pay. yeah. and the switch sports by jean. how do you think this new relationship will be received to north south, on juris and washington to well i don't believe that washington has a has anything else to say except to accept the reality because every country has the right to choose its own destiny and to decide who they should establish to provide the relations with. so more and more countries are also vouch for trying those spans in the well because china does represent at the new world how of that respects everybody's core interest and for mutual

cooperation. and it has never, you know, exercised any color largest ation or coal was safe activities like the us as being a witness sized trotter for how significant in this and renewed alliance between the countries was the, the belt and root initiative. because it's been an to the forefront a lot of countries say that they've funded beneficial in central america. hundreds of course hadn't been involved, will not know rapidly tech pace. well i, i certainly believe so because the belt wrote initiative is, is basically a global initiative for countries that need to improve the infrastructure of the economic development of china. hopefully. ready provide the engine to do that.

where is the production capacity and the financial resources that china has a, you know, more and more countries would be happy and interest fit to work with china to improve their own economic development to. so some better goals and i believe under us also sees the opportunity and so why not me? no similar vice chairman of the shanghai center international studies research grouping. thanks for your time this friday. thank you. uh the french president's neutral position here. recently i side, when it comes to relations with china, has been echoed in a new pool which showed a majority of europeans want their own nations to depend less on washington for security or take contribution original. morrison offers her take on the findings that they are paying council on foreign relations. a major european policy. think type, who's the artist. the owner has historically been finance here. george soros has

opened society foundations, but it also gets cashed from various european governments and the european union has just found in the survey of citizens from 11 different european countries that while just under half of europeans do, consider the continent security relationship with washington to be beneficial and the vast majority see the us as an ally or strategic partner offering 74 percent of the figure that's out from 66 percent in november of 20. 20. also said that your cannot rely on the u. s. a needs its own defense capabilities. and speaking of autonomy, 62 percent of the 16000 europeans, paul said that they want to stay unusual in any conflict between the us and china. in other words, europeans are on the same page as french president emanuel nicole. paradox would be, that's overcome with panic. we believe we are just america's followers. the question europeans need to answer is it in our interest to accelerate on tie one?

no. the worst thing would be to think that we, your opinions must become followers on this topic and take our cue from the us agenda and a chinese overreaction. matt who realizes that you can have truly independent foreign policy and positions of your own. if you can't stand on your own to face manual happened to come to this realization after a visit to china back in april and during which he scored some major business deals for france at the time when he desperately needed some darts on the board. as the country suffered and continues to suffer from high inflation and energy prices. so michael suddenly started speaking about china being an allied, unlike washington's view of beijing. as a phone, the phone, people just have to put the one. france supports the one china policy and the search for a peaceful settlement of the situation. this is the position of europeans and it is a position that has always been compatible with the role of ally. but it is precisely here that i insist on the importance of strategic autonomy between allies

does not mean being a vassal. it's amazing house. great is a big business deals from china, including the sale of a 160 new commercial jets for a french headquartered airbus in a doubling of eros is production in china, a huge when over the european companies american arrival. boeing. so you do in bold, and my calls hush for foreign policy independence from washington. it's amazing what a bit of money can do, like the college curative gets a job. finally, it moves out, starts making his own task and now suddenly finds the courage to start telling mom and dad what he really thinks and what he really wants. and what my call apparently really was, is more of the kind of the independence, the only money. and profitability can buy one's actually my calls world view of a need for independence from the u. s. and more neutrality on china position is obviously reflected by european citizens themselves. and this new call flashes with

a virtue signaling meters of the block that routinely twice audiology over pragmatism. i believe we can and we must carve out our own distinct european approach, but also the space for us to cooperate with other partners to the starting point. for this is the needs to have a shared and very clear eyed picture of the risks and the opportunities in our engagement with china. she knows for us, china is a partner, a competitor, and a systemic rival. and i want to make clear that her impression is that the systemic rival aspect intensifies increasingly of if it wasn't just these 2 in charge, the you would spend all of its time luxury. everyone is doing business with no one they'd be like the teenager who never leaves mom and dads basement because absolutely no job could ever possibly be good enough for them. but in my coal and

most europeans of obviously figured out that if you want independence, i control over your own choices and actions. then you 1st need to have some money and be prosperous. already the you set itself way back economically, when it jumped on the anti russian bandwagon following washington's lead. but at a much higher cost to europe then to the west, which ended up being the big beneficiary of all that. but the, you have to figure out now how to strike a balance between its propensity for lecturing everyone on values that even it violates routinely on one hand and diversifying its cooperation to ultimately lift its sofa to greater independence on the other a rachel marston. now another fresh slice of frost's talk action is coming away in moments because peter of guess right to buy from us what they say it's tripped, the

the hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter level counter offensive. what counter offensive was the cranes recent attack along 5 sections of the front, merely an expensive p r spent, it would seem so washington has no interest in seeing this conflict. and this modes badly for ukraine and ukrainians. the press ok in public relations as war. i'm joined by my guess, alexander a ton in st. petersburg. he is a senior lecture at st. petersburg state institute of technology in tulsa. we have jeremy guzman of he is a managing editor of colbert action magazine and finland macross democracy. or he's

a finish political blogger, and commentator hard gentleman cross sack roles, and in fact, that means he can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate, alexander, i will go to you 1st here and you, you have a tender age or been younger than the rest of us here. but, you know, watching what's going on with in ukraine, particularly with the, the, the destruction of this damn. we don't know exactly what happened, but i think we can presume, considering we have other incidents of a sudden, little kind over the last 15 months. it reminds me growing up when i was told by the us military that we had to destroy the village to save the village. it sounds very much like the same thing going on. now, the ukraine's western partners are encouraging ukraine to destroy their own country, to i guess, save the country your thoughts alexander as well. and you mentioned age. so if you look at what people are saying on social media, like read it as, you have this very confusing situation where they say, oh, all of ukraine's 1991 borders are ukraine. those are their people. but then they're

very happy that these people are now suffering their entire cities and villages being flooded by the effects of this damn being destroyed. so on the one hand bare ukrainians that they belong to. a great, on the other hand, their russian enemies and deserves to be punished. so it's quite confusing. they're trying to, i don't, but i don't know how these folks don't see the fact that none of this lines up logically, but it's all just very ideological. so none of that really needs to make any kind of sense. it's all an emotional game. and this also plays into the media strategy that the us in western partners are using, which is that all of it is logically complete nonsense. none of the things that they say make any sense, but it's all emotionally driven, so they show some pictures or make some claims. and then everyone is expected to have a certain emotional response to what they're reporting. but that's apparently working

out well enough for younger generations. resume or as millennials and apparently upwards of half of the baby boomers and generation x. so it's kind of disappointing that people aren't being more critical under thinking in analysis in western countries. yeah. well, it's jeremy. yeah, i saw that wasn't that long ago now we don't have to go back in history looking at the drum beat to war in iraq, you know, and after what we will never let that happen. again. no, we learned are less and we, you know, we'll be more skeptical. this is far, far worse than it was to the the drum beat toward the rocks far, far worse because there's no descent allowed. jeremy. yeah, i mean the scene repeatedly, i guess people seem to feel. busy for it, every time you know the sod and syria, they believe the propaganda about that could daffy. you have even alter the media. were you know, demonizing, these kind of leaders was, could daffy saw pollutants and it's a similar strategy that was used back in the cold war was, you know,

for the castro when the us was carrying a terrorist activity on cuba. and that's what we're seeing. we're seeing terrorist activity of blowing out pipeline bombing irrigation is down. i mean that that was a crime for which nancy leaders were prosecuted in hong at nuremberg. this is really just great. a high level of war crime or seeing. and yeah, this is sad as he's pointing out that so many in the american public are going along with this. and i was as even like, people on the left, they'll live in tulsa, oklahoma, and the, what do you, guthrie say a this leslie icon? woody guthrie is center honored, pushy riots. and if i, what is the russian band that year and age on stage on pollutants? and they had all these stand with ukraine, t shirts. they were handing out the crowds of the volume and i was at the event. well, you know, the, we'll have to do a separate program and how the left has become pro war in, in my lifetime. i remember the anti war movement that is a child during the winding up of the vietnam war. that's a topic for another day,

marco, let me go back to you in finland here. one of the most interesting news events of the last not the cycle, is that there are reports. there's nothing concrete here that a countries like poland mason, their own troops there, and they coalition of the willing, which you've heard that phrase before. we know how that all worked out here. i mean, this is an intentional escalation here. and because russia has not responded up, the escalation, lighter doesn't mean it won't in the future, this is extremely dangerous, because from a russian point of view, poland is a nato country. so i mean, you know, and then we, we don't have they, they're forcing an article 5. but by doing that, they're ignoring article one of the native trees. not just star wars. go ahead marco in finland. yes, i've seen these this winter escalate is coming to the freemont. these are going to need to him. can we have already seen that introduced media. they are

being rip offs coming and pointers on this topic is saying that, ok, this was the rest of us doing on this. all right? so as far and i don't know the scores, but now even is as the, as a declared war on a tweet to, i guess between sir and so this will go through very diag direction. yeah. well, basically the nasal company is going to have their matches amazing today. oh, something about the consultation, etc. but i think they are of the gathering together to try to achieve a consensus of what to do next and how to go against dressing next. you know, it's very interesting, alexander, i remember a few years ago doing. i don't remember why we were doing a program on a rack. and while there was an a i c,

i a apologist on defending american occupation of the rack. and i, i asked him a very simple question. i said, don't you think the american government is healthy rack enough? after all of this? i think you can ask the same question and we help the radians and up. i mean, because what we see is we know you look at the demographic decline of the country. it's dramatic and no, no country like it a in modern history seems such a dramatic declining demographics. we have, it's completely uh, on lifeline with the west and running its economy and whatnot, paying pensions and whatnot. and now the, you destroyed the livelihoods of tens of thousands of farmers in the, in the southern part of ukraine. i mean, i can see how this is helping ukraine, alexander as well. ukraine is being used as a tool, obviously, and they're fully willing to sacrifice that. i suppose, on some level, it makes strategic sense, given that ukraine has been

a part of russia for centuries. so in some way is just using a part of russia against russia, so they don't care what the casualties are, the damage and the loss of life is because, well, it's a good deal for them. as senator lindsey graham has pointed out into other warhawks in the senate and the house. so for them is a great deal. and the other issue is apparently the push for war from some of the leads in washington, who apparently would like to start world war 3 with russia and china, apparently simultaneously. they're apparently not losing steam here. so the push for war continues, and i think they're on a schedule here because the way economically everything is going and mel. it's early on the ground into ukraine. they have to start the war sooner rather than later. because the longer this goes ons, a week or the west position is going to be. so a year ago larry thinks the ceo of black rock was going on fox news. and he was

asked, well, how long? well, you know, are, is, is the west going to win the economic war against russia any immediately said, 0100 percent. we're going to be drescher economically. well, here we are a year away from that prediction. very, very confident prediction. and here, russia's standing just fine, china is they're backing up russia economically, and there's multiple countries that are starting to leave the us war of it. so things are looking very good for the west. strategically, they're running out of time and it looks worse and worse for them as we go forward . and jeremy reflects upon that because alexander is absolutely right. i think because we see the north stream, we see the destruction of this down here. i mean, is there, this is the kind of escalate. it's cutting terrorist activity, but it's a, as on an escalation ladder here and they're preparing for the next big thing. a dirty bomb because alexandra is right. i mean me,

there's no way nato is going to win this war in a conventional sense. and i mean, you can go to up the ladder to nuclear weapons obviously. but veto, extending all the trinkets and junk said they, they, they, the west has an use in their warehouse is being sent to ukraine. they don't know how to use it. a lot of it doesn't work. a lot of his danger is actually here. so they need a p r, so that's why i'm calling this program in a, it's a, it's a war is p r, because this is the only thing that they can keep people's attention and motivation . jeremy. yeah, uh, i think part of the room is just to keep the word on bob. russia isn't ukraine like they did in afghanistan? i think the blueprint is of gamma stand the eighty's where, you know, brzezinski came out and said the goal had been to induce the russians vietnam mail by supporting the mood. yeah. dean, drawing them into the ask in traps at brzezinski called it, and i think that's been their strategy in ukraine, but again, and then they could rach it up. the sanctions.
