the not political analyst and founder will always consulting i called the duck, says that the us lots of foreign policy in all of africa. he doesn't like the pressure that is being put on them to go to the peace dogs. as many people have argued that you need a genuine approach to bring peace, you can force people to come to negotiation table on terms that they don't agree on . and i think behind the scenes as they have been some discussions, and they have been some proposals and conditions that been set sports that are not as favorable to the sedan on forces. the us lots of foreign policy all in africa. because when you talk about having a foreign policy, what is your political, your economic and your social strategy? and they cannot continue to sanction and condemn these military leaders because they play a crucial role in the peace process in the sudan. so i think the united states foreign policy in the sudan is non existent, and it is a policy of conflict with the solution as good the sauce south korea. now the

country has been battling inflation this week, although it's getting nothing to do with the nomics. and that's because normally a neighbor has been launching giant balloons and it's direction caring. tons of rubbish. now, peeling young says it's designed to carry a key, a signal to sol, that it is not happy about the propaganda. massachusetts been trying to get to the people all the knowles through leaflets and loud speakers. a south korean know for sol savvy, wouldn't the risk of shouting down the ad one and i'll shooting down the f one the intrude as i see didn't know what was in them. tons, it turns out it was 15 tons of garbage after releasing $3500.00, north korea says it's a buzz. put a stop to it's a barrage of balloons for now. although we did a warranty with it, we do mates a sold. if south korea takes a pump another, the starchy to companies where you can get more details of all the stories we're

following. so you, again, some of, yeah, the,

the, the, [000:00:00;00] the, the welcome to was a part of the conflict in ukraine has opened up a new chapter in russia's relations not only with keys or the west, but also with many other countries near and far. the former soviet republics are particularly sensitive both to the risks on the criminal scenario onto the opportunities that, that do a strategic location allows them as to shifting won't or how skillful all day in playing that cards will discuss that i'm now and join by, by the best especially most executive director of the center for

a strategic solution. so i've looked at the end of this done questions. question because i thank you so much for your time and i'd like to stop by addressing the name of your organization, which to me feel very ambitious as you follow many countries today find themselves in an intersection between great risk and major opportunities. and that's the tense, the need for make some genuinely strategic decisions. so that's more than that. so let's start with a symbol of a philosophical question for. so what does it mean for you to think strategically, length of what kind of skills or expertise does it require and you're probably be aware of the suspended because that's a difficult question to do. my 1st i'd like to point out that what we have is more than just on sufficiency tech solutions. so if somebody types to teach a solution for me, yes. so there's more than one dimension to it from our school to apology because we know about it x and y axis issue, but something gets about the 3rd one, which is that are specifically otherwise known as the 3 of the most interested in a practical sense. yes, great,

the most interesting to assess and starting point to is that it's the 3rd accessing that provides objectivity, right? the most of to me, which is why it's in any structure to you. so the important thing is to see the full picture and the nice something you get by looking at it from the to me as an ideal, as a category that is the only go, it has access to objective for on the cheapest, you can use any way to look at politics or do you have politics? how does that apply raffles if it shows her, why don't you can look you up when it's correct. so i was, i to you, when you know it's, there's a technique you must my, to, it's called the maximum likelihood estimation. it's a monthly months cool method of estimation. when you deal with strategy with strategic decision making, if you can, and then even to quote, to rely on the maximum likelihood estimation maxim, my number from the bundled, in other words, because you need to arrive as a formula which takes into account and most of the relevant, in fact says, you know, decision pictures, it is only for truth and this is how you direct you over that's go strategy a quick apparently he's, yeah, i'm not trying to disagree with music here, but don't you're saying that this is some things in small and medium sized

countries always have to deal with almost because the most important country on the planet danica states, the hedge, and the rates on the principle that perception is reality or whatever you perceive to be real is real or what sort of what the reality is on the ground. yeah, it is a secondary improvement in this a but what matches, what is what we want to see is there a distinction here in terms of the size of countries and the level of emission mr. or do you still saying that everyone has to deal with reality to set an extensive oh, that's a good question i just was thinking about until yesterday. if i leave that there is no such thing as of the truth. 5 of the less formulated on one single consonant that because strategies always based on the nation's interests, we all have a different interest across me. and it's important to understand the strategies can be hard dealt with that goal or they can be proactive while they can be passive, when would we put off, keep them in the, in this case, the,

so the russian strategy over the past 3 years. so you know what i call back to what? 0222 was been a product to extract to. well, nobody you say to look into interest, especially since you're an expert on central asia. yeah, i think we can agree that regardless of anyone's chair, political views, if you have questions, ministry campaign and ukraine was to came as a major. sure. i'm going to be on top of service region including follow that mess up. i'm frustrated. so for difficult pastime. so of course you have to go to some water on seemed impossible. it's no reality. you can switch and this has already started to affect the nose on the you. but i'm a 31 year to one. yeah. would you say that this has changed even push to the central asian countries to building their international relations, but i across the board. so i see as in uh, some content in a little much. absolutely. you progressed on the march and it was on the central asian conference and the valve cover. cool. but we once again had the same is asian formula. anything else? economics, very cold color, things holding their police. the, despite all the alarm is a trait, both is measured, intensive design,

let them use them, a least within the range and economic unions. media within the c, i s some good annual developers and already liked the name and commonwealth of independence. thanks. and i put the most in this redundant the, some of the role. so independence is not to be state 100 sally and i'm, the law was billed for this is a 100. we were down by history. the brain child that was to come to the yeltsin levels and i'm calling from the everything of this world is relative, especially in dependence. so speaking of the shot to concert, so yes, it really was a shot on blue. the enough to the global shock came off my medical go button, that will show up. it's got to shot after 4 can use it. but we can already see the money, invest themselves in various ways of post on foot over this time. at the very end of the hassle, to an awesome use. see, and then we'll choose and we've all learned to listen to here. want to know the i thought cuz we need to turn out spinning valuable skills. the skill to imagine time

is the biggest dream stress of you. so the quote was light to visual school studies . well, i think that even in so me a time. so central asian cultural governance of different christine politics. i suppose substantially different from say, the ukrainian political co turns good point. it is good point. and when you come across now by the i'd say they have just the opposite real situation. it's on the console of tapes and code economics. if you look at the present period and got them cause of some, yes, i would like to ask you was if i may put it this way, is the main lesson freelance from the crating, those for the central asian countries. but i'm going to send you book through they are 2 and an infection of major global on the political interest display. and look you up, mr. luciano of good, and very well with whom we cannot be. and josh will at this moment on the menu items, because we are still inside the process of death of so i can only repeat these words and flores and still very difficult say anything about these less of them. so why move? because the situation is still in full swing by them and we're in the middle of it to be tough to go and show us store. all i can do is be the we would the,

i'd say the conclusions getting the withdrawal and make effective goodwill already learning some useful talk to the lesson season, for example. and i'm putting the are, for example, can see that the configuration after the collapse of the soviet union, so you lose no final ease on things. he lives in possible to account for all interests. fee and break comes another country like the saw if is not the same, is that breaking a mirror with the so as to when you go to the front to principal i need chart remains the reflection of the st. mary's because of the school and we did sit on authorizing and with the soviet union to think this wasn't the case. so to be a system of the, the, for the several ways of looking at how to move forward. gotcha. so often you get sometimes studies you either try to resemble the mirror or recognize the child not existing, candidly, which cool full, what do we do then with the reflection the research. so i'm not as much as by taking one of your roads because he said that unlike the former publics of the soviet union on the west and board as to what the central asian republics treat this to be a positive every day, most of them will not you include the treat,

the russian language and expertise in a more utilitarian practical way, in a sense coupling cause it's at the do you think that this is mostly the case among view degeneration or is it postpone describing image? so the key are, those are pretty bad, it's a kind of show that it's good that you touched on the store because the average system is a central agent speaking russian and being given lots of versions. a position is also a guarantee that they can get a job, is that they will be able to feed themselves on the families. and so there's that to the products go off if i want them to stick with simple, but for the practical aspect, it isn't often the most importantly a months of pregnancy isn't the same is true. for example, when it comes to the most economic success of southern countries, the bottom of the bridge is going well. the thing with it is directly related to somebody. the english was scanned as a secular language to create an official language. the. the video, thanks to the people from south asia, for example, you could integrate quite successfully into a purchase site all the way up to the demo,

logical with the mayor of london or the prime minister of do you guys need the uh, let me see a comparable scenario and the former soviet union living center center, in fact, the center through the process that starts in not that long ago. and she will send you the steps 3 years ago. good a few weeks before i lose the russian language of blaze. an impulse and can i think back to the central asia and see who it is in the, in a way, an into civilization of glue only blog under the same time. it is part of the underlying framework in the bones trustee at the ups comes all the time. you know, what worries me here was of course, it seems to me that in the creating an issue language culture, right. and some historical tours have been treated as mary, i do not play to the flute in the practical aspects of life in a single which is simply advantageous for having good relations with neighbors. like the square. what do you think? right, policies returning to relations with the state. and is it more visible today? that's what you have, you know, for the social i've been involved in issues if you ration integration from what

some time it will be. and i want to say that without parts calcium pragmatism of, to everything. and once he, fortunately turn into mc would this one is that i think this is what is called the integration of a lead us up till these processes are filled with the concerns of ordinary b, c o, at least business interests. that is of these, when the economy begins to work for the common good to come today, come on the commission only, and then we say that the space will not be destroyed. how most them go at each. i would also much say the medium of the training cases, unique facts and they see, you know, being low and no apply in to the rest of the dose of your space and office. so makes most dollars easier as a scientist, a and i need to compare too many books at the corner of the bottle. this is the pivot to the east that russian political scientists have been discussing for quite some time. this was because i'm sorry, 7, the nearest east, but still on, um it doesn't have to be getting to take chain. they asked me including the central asia that to me. but correct me if i'm wrong and, but it's the same to me that the russian government has become much more sense instead of like to have steven

a so water specs for and maybe more even accommodating and its relations with its neighbors. especially those neighbors that us to teach the importance who is the same thing. we've got for a, a what, how well, all of the sickness we received and understood and this centralization, capitals started as we have just started from the central asia, realized that it apparently has leverage some strength and the things that shouldn't be a part of the looting of the eyes of russia, the yes, use the group and the understanding that it's all noticed and those are just about taking a bunch of different situations, but also a lot restoring. and what was the one these of the most of the slides isn't party to conduct the machine regarding russia and it doesn't spend all this. are you focusing on asia ma? uh, yeah, i would say the following is the other issue. but let me just look at the hibbitts of the east. these don't quite accurate them. why is nice because you see, so it's a vs. surgeries in asia is it is already one of the lodge stage, making sure everything is good. where do you, if you're already an engine country, what actually, what's the city we use to jobs coast, but i'm a good thing. well then, since you graphically through the process,

that's just how it will you know very well that many rushing to lead co. trudy said towards leap and i think no material consider themselves called here program i wanted to ask you about is this for phone cars to with that then boy. yeah. do you think the willing, rhetorical, or live and what day jason? primarily defensive. like you mean? like you're doesn't really welcome as so way to asia for your students. it guys in english for the goal, or is it an authentic and process that includes rushes deep, self identification to summer isn't difficult. so what i see would be, or someone to pick up some suggestions. so, i mean, i agree with, you know, most of that agree approach from the perspective of looking at both ways and look at the problem a symbolized by the headed ego on the good funds. which looks both easy, almost fun ways more. yeah. however, to see, i think we are currently in the unique period returning to the self identification, the, the realization of a special you, asian pos. whether you're in the west of the, the end of the line, which e, z or, uh, what's the, this organization that people, it, that it's lives necessary to understand ourselves. so again, it's just centricity remedies we,

in one of my articles i described several days just like a rush. i, you know what? i see them broadly speaking, the is the mystical, faraway fairytale under major. and those are oh nations located in the far east, the inside. marian. yes. even in the cook says there is a talk to nation. oh yes, i put on the age of because central asia from bradley, which are referred to as middle aged and me and the via, we need to move forward my re thing not being afraid to venture into dead ends or engaging debates, especially about thank you for mentioning the web sales, because the search bar associated is always a very complex process. one never starts with do made solutions. is that the new it tonight? but we do have one ready solution right now, so you're going to have to take a short break, but we will be back in a few seconds and you'll stay with us. so at this moment, the,

[000:00:00;00] the time of rick sanchez. and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do. do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to please or do you have the state department to see i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you the

welcome back to one of the parts with beer crushing most executive director on the center for strategic solutions of like cut the in kind of gets done mr at to mccully for the break we were discussing where she is is to pay the or realization or what the position of these uh, it says, no one you submitted one that has the new westbrook in northwell, washing 3, orienting to east possible. it seems to me that central asian countries are increasingly look, the way i've come in this area is up with a personal, regardless of the 10 might be able to assess summit of central asian leaders with the us, the president, the shaw principal president mccall and also visited the region, spoke, what do you think central asian countries are seeking in their relations with the west or that but the will. is the west seeking and its relations with them? what follows oh, good question. those into the same realm of talking to susan, pardon me, i think you with them because for russia that i central asia is valuable to to as

demographic potential us william demography. just in put them solemn news. we have already reached hoffer versus population, and the growth rates and quite high the function of, of 40 of them will still be, as i believe, the city will reach nearly a 100000000 people pulled. meanwhile, other countries, ops the impulses. he lives in natural resources, emergencies, motor geopolitical considerations of chest, all the ministry aspect. oh yeah. it, the funds were framing this into a politics i've just regarding natural resources. everything is clear often and supplies, for instance of cuz there's tons of oil and o u, radium gas gas from segment. it's done gold. um it's quite an extensive list. well, this decision to buy fund. china has a unique interest in this region. what is a neighbor going to, if you look at it that way the board has 3 central asian country. so i'm, i'm interested in how many aspects of incorporation successfully my the, including reducing essential tensions related to is lumpkin stream is, which is a concern for china that was cool. so sure, on the us often use this region as

a tool to refresher. i started going name is name the bush, so i'm trying to what is through me on the the source of view about what's the in the past? are you oh, is it the trans flush and the remains the trails. so please hold. unfortunately, it's definitely the to the deals. are they ready to texas up once and continue following it? so it's just as a business eroding law huntington and the clash of civilizations and having it, they, you rented the universities and follow this template that percent will use this and you propose, hard to keep with the world, has changed you to continue smoke. so the while already mentioned the summit of the centralized indeed as health, i bought it new york by the maybe button is reading the same textbook or the deletes and central asia are when i hear me. and so i knew the know upset of the events. you were the region really closely with maybe with a great to understand history. somebody lies the odds case that on the central asian countries ready to be tended to tool or platform for american policy in this region to consecrate by the took care of it. them to go in, who is the more you know,

when you come in i think no one will be pleased to realize they are born in someone else's game. will you be crazy? seems comfortable in this role for now? hold on the bottom. i think a bite, the 4 should create a new clue. understanding of who the jew logical address on and who the agencies are, subject and objects i'll probably makes life easier when you agree. when human understanding is the historical continuity and an inch connectedness is needed. somebody says the calculation good to start is usually if you make mistakes, you'd have to lose people. would you fit in your lives? the nation is not always we are now seeing and the case would be great and peaceful . okay. and muscles in all cases, i'll repeat, everything is going well to stay with population growth right. show that people are looking towards the future. the, despite everything, we're not stuck, no spending still, unless you have to give them a nice to mississippi because every well standard of living with the folding owners . but it's not a stream to actually old live content in the region. things going well in this, regardless of what i saw, it used as

a natural and sensible aspirations to be allied with those who listen here and making usually acceptable when with decisions for it. maybe it does the right sort of thing. but at the more for a month with this definitely want to see 5 plus formatting you mentioned was the 1st one launched by the japanese and i remember correctly. i sions all of it. uh, mostly the left of the system. all the other countries interested in this region picked it up more people. only a few players have attempted to turn things around and going to a bunch of the countries that, that kind of puts, could you search my sizes practices in history and is connected in this, in the region? i probably was such a china, india and the underwriter, on, by the way, you wrote that both structure in china, which i'd say central asia itself, is not the west that i know no chance how it west or the, you know, to that. and you call over space for free from west some hedge, monique, on board and, you know, completely cut off and, you know, obviously organ politically and culturally from europe or even the us not even open

it up as a social and disregard. do you think these countries couldn't pay a cushioning or even a breaching role between the collection of west and i'm like no to say the collective of the used to be about z for which is also coming together in some way . it was a little slow, this is a complicated issue because because meaning we see how the global will be changing so much that on the $100.00 and some of these tree that we're dividing into political as you know, it's a lot of money, which is a normal process is always currently under the $100.00 and the interactions are still ongoing in the sometimes certain surgeries, this country is low groups of countries cannot cause a dump of all these red dismissed. um, and sometimes even as a hard string car was done in this case uh, was the advisor 0 to touch incident came into the what's the trade turnover to the central the asian countries in europe, easy to us and japan is so many folding ritual. so everyone is aware that we are re selling these codes to russia with the blood know, sanctions undertaking the games because of the global level. but i mean,

obviously if it's on known as the central asian countries are basically on the sanction. yep. just there were some private companies that have been slots with certain restrictions, you know, with us about engine morning if we were playing the game sold, existing rules for me would likely create more progress for us. so yeah, i know that the cookie use, we went on the moon, but as it stands, we have public demonstrating the know all these law schools and explained dialogue, should we continue to provide you with how do you say, and one of your speech is good up on the cube, let's go that just interest in central asia, if you chose know, comparable to that of the 21st century. when the americans enter the scanner level and meet with the spring board, a so called lily pathways in the region while you miss how interesting is the region to pressure in china in terms of a some industry potential, somebody it's designed as the few decades ago. they were interested in the militarization has anything changed on this front of william from the military logistics point of the central asia as uh,

as the american se would you see kind of just combining uh what you like them because they need it for americans. oh, for everyone's almost everyone. why? because of what we see as a disadvantage, rosie and we for the fact that we have more no access to the c, and this kind of hotline region a. so just a very inconvenient legion's, a large scale and miniature operations, especially in terms of military logistically. and they were used to get when you have to cross many board as are reliant at logistics. it could be so you so you mean implemented to nevada and for a waging war. so that's why we can pain and of get us started up the keys. exactly . the case of i've done this on demonstrated the whenever bucks done, josie will you know, to give a green light. will you whatever reason i'm curious, the traffic was we went to advise central asia who knew when that was impossible and that's without transit through the russian territory. so what do i get out one? hi, renee, loads of all the supplies with the live in to get this done by russian rail and use of cookies done whether railways ended on the supplies has to be reloaded onto the truck stock. we shall, comp on the phone when you book about the schedule,

easy to use a conclusion is that old hosting the inspection and all those roads. but it was quite amusing to actually see the in terms of logistics for the military. half of the united states was the least much see a 80 percent my lyndon on versus goodwill. hope 70 at the absence of a full scale. well under this so that form of control is not the same as phrase as the full scale development or you ration integration undergrad. so it's difficult just to be on need in order to finally make transition from the current state. or i know it's a nice know role to something more attractive way. i feel really cards in there. right. so you know, it's a formal one of them. this kind of approach probably was a phone the is not going to work now. right. the more and i think just because i already mentioned the disintegration process that needs to formation of small of geopolitical blocks is already under way. as i said. and we'll probably go through what is y to log. so it'd be less than the coming decades when i see whether he wants it on, on the book i will need show our licenses will show as he said,

muscles, where depending on the situation was who really moved school in columbia to don't. yeah, it's speaking of the ration inspiration and so they didn't really have time for one more question. now, when you mentioned that many it pat. so now wondering what day you asian economic integration isn't possible. so it was out here, single minute it's bill development of the you ration space possible through to low glasford zealand through the state of the regional plaza. corporate. sure. what would be your owns to this question? uh, you know, of, so with the years or with the way you would be the best possible with all your other west. um, why have you ruled by for me? because i see a huge recall strikes along the track with a free trade. so an agreement between the ration economic union and china is so what kind is the commission recently signed with around them? yeah, he's lawyer also see prospects in the shanghai corporation organization. okay. it's going to be the so the going a certain kind of a reset process though, involved launching new financial instruments such as the seo by start with on to

a computer. and we, and that was a new building, a space and stretching from the city of preston betters as opposed to products. so funny, pos dogwood, or would you let us in fact, the eastern most of china is own provinces, a solution, each young voice, which is probably the way to speak of assistance of these 2 more than that in most of them. and i believe this is the direction of the follow to because china and india is keep together account off the well, just keep plugging in russia only stand still waiting on this trying to use no solution near. pretty good. i don't kind is going to be a win win situation for them. both sides. no, just a one way street. the focus ask of them will stay, could involve a new stage when to start developing to move the central asian country is, is when we try to get pressure tends to expanded social economic and as well as a political out and sympathy. i see in order to ease the tension around the situation with labor migration is central agents, but i don't make sense to use the kinds of approaches. so the union of the lines from involving industrial agriculture and development of these territories. and

theories of the dilemma is very good on record for that. no, but the one this kind of development is so service wise question by, by investment was, was, which is why was most certainly used to collaborate with china. it was more than one possibly with india, the runs to run such a large scale and infrastructure. the contract must often and for industrial, agricultural development from lucian with the. and that's when we'll see a completely different well done room and will be called stay assume you raised integration will become something much bigger with something on a much higher level that's gonna provide me with these came to graphs. the naturally produced results on a different scale. well, i guess time will tell her and i thank you very much for your time. thank you. and

thank you for watching hope to sir again on walter part of the voted for changing the sub africa for the 1st time in 30 years. the african national congress fails to win the majority of the general election, eating its crumbling to form a coalition in the wall and the story of the shape, the weak who is doing this is done by those who produce and allegedly supply the systems to ukraine. this canon does happen without the participation of ukrainian military personnel. a lot of me put it and says, nature is already deeply involved in the ukraine was saying kia, wouldn't be able to use the alliances,
