the, the nato consider is putting its mutual or are still in a state of comb above reading this. i think i've read from russia and china most go naples to move a quote further escalation of attention. thoughts of the whitehouse sign goals and they to a membership for t as but only a few crank and when on the battlefield 1st. and then other news the is really prime minister dissolves his more complet software. a key coalition member calls it with that comes from the government, resides an opposition party slumps. the nation. yes. so let me say that nothing will remain of him. there will be no square named after him. no schools, there will be no problems enough. benjamin netanyahu,

the from most of the world, this is, are 2 yellow and a warm welcome to the new summer. lot. number 2 is preparing to embark on the to day state visit to north korea. the russian president is expected to arrive in p on young on choose day. if not, it will be his 1st trip to the east asian country since the year. 2000 north korean leader kim jong wound extended the invitation last year, during his visit to russia's far east. mister potent will then head to hon. noise of the invitation of the vietnamese general secretary, where he's expected to spend 2 days. officials from both countries, there will also me to discuss deepening trade, scientific, and cultural tough to be lost. the end stilton burke has said, nato is discussing, bringing its neutral or weapons into combat readiness. the blocks chief said it's

our still was being bolstered because of a supposing growing threat from russia and china here. so i present spokesperson dimitry pest golf responded to those remarks. what mr. stoughton burke said clearly does not fit into the context of the same declaration that was adopted on the eve, which was not signed by off. where to if i am not mistaken, it outlines the in admissibility of such rhetoric. this is nothing but another escalation of tension. the seriousness of stoves in bag statement shouldn't really be dismissed or down play this better because language is a very clear threat to what he sees as needed. so he's focus, he said the member states re told to deploy more nuclear weapons. that means taking the amount of storage, i'm placing them on stand by his side to a calling from from, from the faith, russia. and sean, if he describes nato as a new field alliance, which kind of undermines its claims to be an alliance for pains,

but he didn't throw you into the exact details of nato's new emission. i won't go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and we should be storage. but we need to consult on these issues. that's exactly what we're doing. the u. s. is more than nice and they're gravity bonds for the nuclear warheads. they have in europe, in european allies and more than those in the plains which are going to be dedicated to nato's nuclear emission. so it's, don't somebody praise the, the 32 member sites all night, so full that contribution to the detachment. he singled out the netherlands for investing in fine to just capable of hosting us nuclear warheads, went on to defend plans to trump prove minutes the i to ukraine. of course, there's an election to presidential election on the way that and he says that if trump is successful and becomes the next president again, that the i to the final, the weapons flight to ukraine will simply at dry up. it really is concerning. concerning all this rhetoric and, and there's increasing reports because of all of this, suggesting that the world is now in a new nuclear arms race. can you give us some more details?

yes, of course. this is incredibly alone being the still comb, international piece of research institute as it relates to a report on monday, which says that the 9 nuclear states, this is the not to states russia, the united kingdom fonts, china. india practiced on the democratic people's republic of korea and as well have all started modernizing the nuclear weapons programs. they're saying that the number of operational warheads, this is those that can be deployed and can be used against other countries. as in fact increase, they said, according to the report that the global inventory stands around or just over 12000 warheads in january 2024. while the global total of nuclear warheads continues to full is coldwell ero athens that gradually dismantled progressively, we continued to see year on year increases in the number of operational needs a little heads. we're now in one of the most dangerous periods in human history.

and seeing you click on pioneers, have boons. that's a nuclear arms. race is underway. cit pretty has said that they've not seen nuclear weapons play such a prominent role in international relations since the cold war. now, the 9 nuclear states that we mentioned earlier have spent a whopping 91000000000 on the new, clear all of those in 2023. that's according to a new report from the international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. but the large majority of the spending as being by the united states. so steve was real effect, given all of this, do these international treaties that are put in place to prevent this kind of situation? what effect do they actually have as well? that's a very big question on some. what side of the street is on the side limited that is the international trade. see the new can nonproliferation treaty, which is supposed to bind the expansion of nuclear weapons in countries to a signature used to it. but the 90 percent of the was type 22 more heads are owned

by the united states and russian and a number of treaties did exist between these 2 countries, but they have since collapsed. um, washington has quite what really very recently signal with a shift from simply modernizing its needs a capacity to expanding it. you know, nato has labeled russia as a security threat. we keep hearing this from nato and, and his natal countries. what is moscow? his position when it comes to nuclear weapons and their use, well, russia has perhaps understandably said that a certain number of other countries are increasingly concerned with this expansion of nuclear weapons on the washington strategy for expanding its new capacity as well. now. so as i said that this, the escalating rectory, the threat, same towards russia and china is particularly alarming, but must go insist that it's not in the one that is carried out the saber rattling with the noise emanating from washington on the west. now,

speaking this in petersburg, international economic form recently have russian, president, vladimir pretty soon said that he was clear that russia was watching developments closely. but it wasn't the country that started the dangerous rhetoric and that it has a clear new, clear, don't say that when it comes to nuclear escalation, we never started this rhetoric. we simply said it shouldn't be taken more seriously . and they immediately started talking about us brandishing nuclear weapons and we are not. that's the 1st thing. secondly, on the use and non use of such weapons. russia has a nuclear doctrine and everything is written there that uses possible in an exceptional case. in the event of a threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, i do not believe that such a case has arisen. but this doctrine is a living instrument. and we are closely watching what is happening in the world and around us. now, despite this, the west on the west of media continue to blame russia for the escalations, particularly when it comes to pricing, but most common sense. but it has no plans to use nuclear weapons against its

neighbor, but the escalates reactions of both the united states and nato. mean the most go may be forced to over to it's new to don't from the road to peace is more weapons. that's the nato secretary general hawk is message advocating to arm ukraine. further the head of the buck, 75th anniversary summit. the more credible our long term support, the quick get most scope was realize it cannot wait till solved. and the sooner this work come in the night seems like the pat oaks, but the pos to peace is therefore more weapons for ukraine. less welcome onto the program, the former united nations weapons inspectors. scott richard scott. good to see you at russia has repeatedly stated that the you praying, conflict will end if the west stop sending arms to key if,

as it's fueling the fighting. why do you think the nato chief is claiming the opposite? well, 1st of all, nato is unwilling to accept the russian victory of the russian. the russian statement is predicated upon a russian victory. russia correctly says that within 2 or 3 months, once nato steps in the webpage, do you pray that the war will it? but it ends in a rush and victory. nato has consistently said for the very beginning that a russian victory represents and its point of view, and actually central threat to nato. and therefore, nato has no choice but to continue to arm you. great. western officials haven't made any secrets about being content to use ukrainians against russia or russians. here's what the installs and birds have to say about the allocating a small fraction of its defense budget. united states helps ukraine to destroy the significant share or rushes offensive come by typing this without putting

a single american soldier in harm's way. so it seems like a win win for the wes scott, as long as their trip to are the ones doing the fighting and dying. so is it actually in nato's interest to box realistic piece? talks 100 percent. look, what stillberg isn't saying is that when russia started the special military operation, it did so it's around $200000.00 troops. today, the people believe that there are between 70900000 russian troops in the area, all of whom are trained equipped, and prepared to undertake offensive military operations. of the longer this conflict goes onto the stronger rush it gets. this is something that general christopher to bully the commander of american forces in europe and the commander of all middle ground forces has acknowledged its nato that's getting weaker by the day. by the moment. this is war drags off and the tragedy is the, the,

the weakness isn't because of the nato troops. i don't wish anybody to die, but had nato suffered the casualties, so that ukraine is suffering this. what would be over because no natal country has the stomach for this level of losses. nato is allowing ukranian troops to be sacrificed. but along with you create new troops. this new equipment new i stripped its arsenal. bear to arm ukraine. they bankrupted themselves, not just physically, but some would say morally, continued to supply you trade in russia, on the other hand, is just getting stronger. day after day. the basic military math is a rush or cumulate, its more military strength every day than they lose. your train loses far more military strikes every day than they accumulate. the longer this conflict goes on stronger rush, it gets the winter, you crank gets more inevitable. a decisive russian victory becomes turning to the ukraine. p summit in switzerland, then your assessments, all of that were several countries refuse to sign an essentially washer done

communicate well. half of the world as well, didn't even attend. first of all, this wasn't the p summit. it was a failure, it was a failed effort from the beginning. again, the predicate to this conference was the notion that ukraine would launch operations that inflicted significant losses on russia that russia would come into this conference even though they weren't invited. a russian would come into this feeling weak feeling subdued. and then when confronted with the unified global position of supporting the training piece proposals, the russian would have no choice but to concede defeat and go along with the piece . this is fantasy, this isn't what happened. russia again, came in, but stronger. you came in, you trained to me much weaker. and this, this conference is, is, is meaningless. the words that they put forth or meaningless. there's no substance

to these words. there's nothing there just like what we're going to see coming up in july with the nato summit in washington, dc. meaningless rhetoric backed up by absolutely nothing real. where is russia continues to get stronger every day. speaking in special than the us, vice president said the western support for ukraine is quote, strategic. not charlotte simple. the white house is also clarified some seemingly unrealistic terms for kids dream of joining nato. we can take a listen together to what america's national security spokesman have to say about president has said that he believes that nato is in ukraine's future. and there's, there's a lot of things that have to be done before they can join the alliance like any member has to do before they can join the alliance. but the president police firmly that nato is in ukraine's future. at some point it's absolutely clear, understand they and then the alliance issues that you currently alliance has talked

about in the united states. certainly talked about the 1st, they got to win this war, right? they've got to win the war 1st to get a car at being don golder. so key of house the, when the war 1st says john kirby. but 2 years in, as you point out, nobody seems to be seriously saying that you crane can be rushed on the bottle through. so what the premium is actually stunned, the gain from all the nothing. this is a vain hope on the part of you creating that by extending this conflict and not just extending this conflict, but expanding the scope and scale of their their activities targeting, rush, or proper in hopes of rush or over reaction. some of the draws nato into the conflict that's ukraine's only chance. this is this conflict expands for being a needle conference using ukraine is a proxy versus russia to a nato conflict against russia. that's what you create is fighting for. that's what

they're holding out for. like nato isn't prepared or willing to engage in that kind of escalation. so at the end of the day, this is simply about crane being sacrifice on an altar of nato hubris. you cream will never be a member of nato. that is 100 percent certain, especially if the predicate is that you create has the windows for ukraine will not win this one. just touching on the next month's summit in washington, dc. since the end of the cold war, nato has tardy died. numerous international bombing campaigns invasions without authorization from the un security council. so it really does beg the question who, who is the biggest global threats 75 years since the block was created a softball question is, and you just so i get to you. yeah, thank you very much. hey, it's obvious. nato is the greatest threat to international peace and security. it's a military alliance without emission at one time during the cold war. you could

articulate reasonable justification for the existence of nato. but since the cold war ended, since the soviet union went away, russia is never manifested itself as a threat to you are worthy of the kind of investment made into nato. why does need to exist? it's simply an extension of the, for the national security policies of the united states. it's a tool of united states is that you still at the fence of alliance. but we know the answer to that is absolutely not. i mean, what, what was the defense in the been in libya? what was the defense against serbia? what was the defense against afghanistan? um, what is the defense in the ukraine? i mean, they say were defending ukraine against what they seek to strategically defeat russia. ukraine was a conflict that was promoted by nato members. for the purpose of creating a conflict that would strategically weaken russia. that's the goal objective. this is not a peaceful entity. there's a warm, ongoing entity,

and now we see that they've even turned their sites the pacific and try to so the north atlantic treaty organization now has a, you know, at least in terms of their plan, a global reach. scott, as always, thank you so much for your time on your thoughts. their former us marine cord intelligence officer scouts, richard live in the program now, a german child left schultz has praised the us president for having experience on wisdom. he also predicted that joe biden would likely win re election in november now. so despite recurring clippers, the res yet work died. suffice mister biden's ability to serve another, it is tended us to buy things you abide and is. somebody clearly knows what he's doing, especially when it comes to international politics and i think it is very likely to be coming to you as present on you can also when the elections, the 5 digit com can you tell us, or donald trump prefer somebody else as

a political or, and blame you directly. what's your response to that? you know, last night. the alright. always a good day when we cross the new york and speak to us broadcast or on political commentators. steve malls berg, steve, good to see you. i'm you need told, but there's been a noticeable uptake of lights in the number of incidents where the incumbent president appears to look on a been kind here a little lost on camera, his campaign and says he's perfectly fine. so are his products over reacting? well, i, i mean, i don't think so. first, let me just say,

god bless joe biden. he's $81.00 after the election in november and he'll be $82.00 . i mean, you know, and we've all, if you're lucky enough to have relatives that lived that long, we've seen it in relatives. we've seen symptoms, people slow down, people slow down differently. donald trump is 78, just turn 78. he's the, almost a complete antithesis of joe biden, but you can't not biding for who and what he is. however, however, it is legitimate. i believe, to question joe biden does, is he really capable of not only serving as president now, but for 4 more years? i would say that most people in this country in the poll show it most people in this country are extremely concerned with his age and his cognitive ability or lack thereof. and it's a, it's a big consideration going forward. but let me say what his supporters would, would react to that because it comes just over a week before

a live tv debate between joe biden. and donald trump, if the incumbent president was really struggling as his critics say, why would he even, or his team even agreed to the fed to? well, there's all kinds of speculation. uh, i mean, they need to prove that he can handle them himself. now there are all kinds of rules, and i'll ask the question, i know this isn't the topic, but why did donald trump agreed to the rules? first of all, having the debate on cnn with 2 moderators who are clearly anti trump is beyond me . the microphones will be cut right after the time is up for each. each candidate, there's all kinds of stringent rules. nope, no of people in the audience which tread, that's a strength for trump. every thing every rule favors joe biden. now we've seen joe by and give a state of the union. we've seen him give long speeches and when he does, for whatever reason a people could speculate all they want. if there's some kind of the vitamin he

takes or something right before i don't, nobody, he seems to have that bigger in energy. but more often than not, as you alluded to correctly, he seems to, to talk jibberish fade away and make misstatements. i mean, i've never seen misstatements again, whether they're purposeful or uh, or by accident or a combination. he repeats, things that aren't true and the media in this country. they don't fact check joe biden. but every time donald trump speaks, as there's a fact checker that comes on next. so that's, that's where we are. yes, some the, some of his an allies. so don't seem to mind you've got the german liter, as we mentioned, insisting joe biden still on the ball is likely to be re elected. why do you think a lot shows? seems so sure about that lot her point as well. i think donald trump, when he was president, you know, shut up a nato,

a little bit of one of them to pay their, their, their, their weight, their fair share of the country said donald trump believed that the united states was paying too much. and uh, you know, the, so i don't know how the german liter feels about it, so it's more in the photos for you reckoned an actual reality. he's hoping that joe biden gets back in, oh yeah, i can't, it can't be what i mean. look, i, you know, let me just if i make sure we're right after the election and 2020 the brock obama . we went on national tv and a late night show and was asked, he said they said, hey, why don't you have loved the 3rd term? what, what the 3rd term looked like, which of course, you can have a 3rd term as president in united states. he said, oh, i picture myself in a basement somewhere with a walkie talkie and, and someone is in the oval office with an ear piece. in my opinion, that's exactly what's happening. figuratively speaking, brock obama's been calling the shots. his good byes in ministration is loaded with

obama officials. and i believe that obama is controlling what's happening. i don't think that job. i look, we've seen joe by the say, oh, i better not take any questions. i'll get in trouble. oh, i better not answer that. can i do this? yeah. you know, things we've never seen a president door say, you're the president, you're in charge to g d 's. very, very careful. well get in trouble now. sure. and the said that it's just not right . the whole thing is it, right? so i don't think joe biden is making the big decisions. let me just come without a different way because the german shuffler has praise joe biden for bucking t, as in the ukraine conflict, which donald trump has promised to end within 24 hours. if he's elected no, that won't take some work. but do you think that chancellor shoals his allies with the help a president trump in that regard? do they wanted to end the part of this lovely as about right now? a well that's, that's a good question. look, i think the majority of people in the united states would like to see this war,

and donald trump knows that. and donald trump is a negotiator, if, if nothing else. he's in a go she later. and i believe that he believes, and maybe you can work, he gets what am i putting together with zelinski? they all sit down in a room and they work out some kind of agreement because you can have this go on. you can have, i don't think people the united states and they know donald trump doesn't want world war 3 over this war. so i, i think again, now it just drove it. or how does germany feel about that? i don't know, but what they go along with it. i think they have no choice if the united states, as we have a deal, we have a bargain. and president trump is behind that. what's germany gonna say? no. so they may not want it. i don't know, i can't get inside the chancellor's head but, but relations are trading steve relation because the german economy, as you know, has been hit hard by the wrong vacations. yes. of the western sanctions against the rest of the u. s. once, for instance, even more restrictions imposed on moscow, berlin recently blocked an

e u initiative to sanction the russian liquefied natural gas sector. how strain could this cross atlantic or berlin washington relation to high spring cut a get? so i think i think that under a under joe biden, uh, as you alluded to, i think good things are, are, are going to be ok because i think joe biden will, will consider other countries and like germany and india, the rema vacations and whatnot. but donald trump will only consider the interest of the united states. he will only consider what's in the best interest of the united states, and at 1st and foremost, and by coincidence of this war. and it's in the best interest of germany and everybody else, whether they know where they made it or like it or not. so i just think that there are reasons probably why, why, you know, germany is all over the place here. can i just touch base on something we spoke about a little while earlier?

just know that the dust to settle somewhat on not donald trump's am harsh money cases. you've got the sentencing due next month. there were. 2 or are we steve, uh, could he be in prison? could it be running the campaign from there? could they be a president from jail? and he can be president from jail. he can run the campaign from there. uh, the, the republican national convention is in milwaukee. i think it starts 3 days after he supposed to be sentence. so if the judge has the gall, the nerve, that to put him in jail, he won't even be at the republican national convention. but it's, it's a very bad situation. i, you know, i, i would say the judge will not put them in jail, but nobody would have ever believed that he would have been charged with what he was charged with. nobody would have ever believed that the judge whose daughter reportedly had clients who make money off of this whole trial as democratic operatives would have stayed on in the position of overseeing the case. nobody

would have believed any of this. so do i think it's possible donald trump could wind up in jail? absolutely. okay, i'll take you to task those projections a little bit later in the summer, but for now i thank you. as always, us talk to you hope steve most very good. pleasure. thank you. sir, no, some more it and use to bring you from the middle east is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu houses all the countries were cabinets following the resignation of former defense minister unrivalled. ben against ortiz, middle east, corresponding rif, an ocean. that takes up the story, a prime minister, and antonia who has dismantled the 6 member work cabinets early on monday. it has been officially confirmed to r t. but technically speaking, the work cabinet stopped existing after the departure of the chairman of the national unity policy by the guns hand. he's boston eyes and codes 10 days ago. that's withdrawal. ready then indicated serious disagreements within his really leadership had now displayed just became public and more office of course guns

criticized phoebe's approach to the war in guys on that claim. the lives of more than 37000 palestinians, according to guides, a health ministry, and hundreds of these really military but didn't make they announced goals of the operation. come true. gun slammed and intern. yeah. who's political pain and hesitation, accused prime minister of not having a clear strategy regarding guys of war and so cold the day after whole. so guns was not happy with it then. yeah, it was way of dealing with a hostage play. you remember 120 people still remaining contributing guys for more than 250 days. guns vowed to do the right thing at any political cost and to back america pushed hausten still proposal currency on the table while the $10.00. yeah, never, it clearly signaled any official support for the plan presented almost 3 weeks ago . guns came figure of as well as opposition also understood very clearly is really

public growing discontent and cold for elections to meet people's demands. voice to add unprecedented number of mess, the bank to government protests all across the israel. the basically became a weekly or we alley changed the last 8 months since the idea started moving. garza nathan? yeah. one to the guns, to stay primarily understandably, to have the support all the vast parts of his rarely society following guns. this is the time for unity not division must remain united among ourselves in the face of the great tasks before us, i call and ben against the not leave, the emergency government don't give up and unity. well nathan, yeah. who knew that guns was considering that withdrawal has earlier in may, former defense minister had issued an ultimatum. turn it on yahoo! demanding to present and agreed upon. vision for gaz, paste for governance by june 8th hasn't. and yeah, who failed guns left for the thought is unfortunately then yeah, whole prevents us from progress into the real victory with justifies that painful.

and i'm going price kind of that is why we are leaving the worst time cabinet to insure a real victory. it is spinning that in the fall, the year of the disaster, we go to elections, resulting in the stablish ment of a government that when faith in overcome challenges. so i'm calling the jackal to greet to an election. they do not let our people be torn apart while it is important to understand that the guns is now far from left out of political discussions, of the country's strategic decisions. when americans secretary of state visited the israel again, just recently he met separate the 10. yeah, and then then the guns who at that time was not deposited if they were cabinets already. and now the us special envoy is a nice role to discuss the situation in the countries north on this really current crisis with his spa. he's also expected to meet the guns. what will happen to the 10? yeah, without support of guns and his people will earlier and now they're a crucial opposition leader. he a to a page said that.
