4:00 am
but let us have our good byes as we continue the conversation about the continental block, the level. so as i knew some of the question of further deployment of medium insurance arrangements. so it'd be decided by us depending on the actions of the united states. and it's that we will determine the targets for further tests of our newest missile systems on the basis of threats to the security of the russian federation of the russian president confirms bosco successfully hit a military target in ukraine with a state of all type of product desktop lot of it put insert key of being permitted to use western weapons to slide deep into rocks that shows how the us and they don't have to global security on its head. but your issue, i emphasized once again that it is not for russia, but the united states that have destroyed the international security system. and by
4:01 am
continuing to fight and cling to their who generally, they are pushing the entire world towards the global conflict. in rom condemns, they have sent you a body, you and i taught, make watch dog as destructive, and that's off the full west. them colors plus the motion of the body problem. taking it to arrive, the plan you uranium enrichment centrifuges the role wherever, getting new coverage of the latest trends shaping the world right now. this is already to national. i a michael portrait. now a lot of it put in has, i'm time experimental hypersonic mess all a has been used to attack of military industrial, a fighting ukraine. the russian, the president has specified that he was equipped with a non nuclear warhead. he said the most solid can travel as such a high speed at new air defenses can stop it in response to the use of us and
4:02 am
british long range weapons. on november 21st of this year, the russian armed forces launched a combined strike on one of ukraine's defense industry facilities. the combat conditions included a test of one of russia's newest, medium range missiles systems, in this case sort of with a ballistic missile, with nuclear free hypersonic equipment to our missile engineers named it. originally, the test was successful. the goal of the launch was achieved. one of the largest industrial complexes known since the days of the soviet union and which still produces missile equipment and other weapons today was hit in the city of the net profit to ask in ukraine, i repeat, we are conducting live tests of the original missile system in response to the aggressive actions of nato countries against russia. the question of further deployment of medium in short arrangements also would be decided by us, depending on the actions of the united states and its satellites. or we will determine the targets for further tests of our newest missile systems on the basis of threats to the security of the russian federation. we consider ourselves
4:03 am
entitled to use our weapons against military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities. and in the event of an escalation of aggressive actions, we will also respond decisively and in the mirror in like manner. so this weapon is described best, not experimental high bus on the missile. what do we know about it? well, this missiles called ition nick, or hazel and english, and it really is a state of the art weapon. as you mentioned, it's a hypersonic missile. it can travel at mach 10, it can, it can travel up to 3 kilometers per 2nd. that's a very, very fast missile. and according to vladimir putin, this is a weapon that can be used to destroy any sort of defensive structure. there's really nothing that can intercept it in the sky either just to give you an idea of how fast it can move. we've got this chart here, right? and these missiles are typically launched from the cup hosting your complex on russian territory, and it's in the theoretical situation that we're to a flight to london. it would take only 20 minutes when taking the out in the air to
4:04 am
london. exactly. and as we're going to see now, we can just for comparative, for comparison, just if it were to go to warsaw 12 minutes, right? this is travelling at a speed of 3 kilometers per 2nd, right to berlin, 15 minutes and to paris. 20 minutes just like one. and so those are some really, really high speed really fast. yeah, exactly. earlier we spoke also with someone who knows more technical details about this as hypersonic boxed in. so that's about 3 kilometers per 2nd. so the missile cannot be stopped. the naked, i can't even try kind of go so fast. is zoomed by somebody, i guess the inmate pick out some kind of room that i have the to speed as long as that bridge loaners per 2nd of the missile has multiple launch. has multiple warheads showing me between 1011. so is there a radically, all of those could be loaded with a nuclear?
4:05 am
and then if we're explosion, more that can be used as several launch vehicles that are nuclear tip and the rest as the points. but at mach 10, uh, there is no b, uh there is no uh, in the air system, they can stop them. no, at any target. the very that, and this is a 1st fuel test. but in a showing that it's very capable, it launches in small hypersonic speeds and a head start on target all by words. there's really no doubt that this audition is a seriously affective and deadly weapon. but that doesn't mean that humanitarian considerations are going out the window either. i mean, when it comes to its application because lot them are put in also said that russian forces are going to be warning civilians in areas that they plan to hit with this hypersonic missile before they actually carry out strikes. of course, choosing if necessary. and those are retaliatory measure targets to be hit by such
4:06 am
systems as auditioning on ukrainian territory. we will proactively notify civilians and also ask citizens of friendly states who are there to leave the danger zone. so we will do this for humanitarian reasons, openly, publicly, without fear of opposition from the enemy. also receive this information. why without fear? because there are no means of countering such weapons today, like these missiles, the tech targets at the speed of mocked in that is 2 and a half to 3 kilometers per 2nd. the world's current air defense systems and the missile defense system of the americans in europe do not intercept such. miss lyles, this is impossible. we have always preferred and are now ready to resolve all contentious issues by peaceful means. but we are also ready for any development. if anyone still doubts this, it is in vain. there will always be a response. but the thing speech came up to the attacks in the coast region. i'm pretty ask region where the top comes and the storm shadows, not it seems this conflict is taking the global dimension. well, that's exactly what vladimir put and said, right. the provocation,
4:07 am
the provocative action from the west, from certain western countries to green light. the use of these attack comes missiles on russian territory has given this regional conflict a much more global character. because these missiles, right attack comes, for example, they can carry either a conventional or a nuclear warhead, and there's no way that russia can actually understand what's coming their way when it's already launched from ukraine, heading towards the russian territory. so that's a threat of course for the whole world. and that's compounded by the fact that the united states essentially torpedoed the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty back in 2019 when it was the 1st party to pull out of it during the trump administration. and this all collectively really is what i put in was talking about when he called the wes actions a serious escalation of the conflict. for that, if we believe that the us made a mistake by unilaterally withdrawing from the treaty on the elimination of medium
4:08 am
range and short range missiles in 2019 under far fetched predicts, today the united states not only produces such equipment, but as we can see in the course of measures to train its troops, it does have worked out the issues of transporting that are advanced masonic systems to different regions of the world, including yours and what is more, they are conducting training exercises under use. i emphasize once again that it is not for russia, but the united states that have destroyed the international security system. and by continuing to fight and cling to, there has gemini, they are pushing the entire world towards global conflict. bring us up to speed with the international reaction to all of these. well, we've heard a few international reactions. it's been a bit of a mixed bag, but nothing really in terms of the severity of statements, nothing really taking a strong side. i mean, we heard of wishy washy statement from the use for an affair. spokes person who said that the european union is still assessing all the facts to come up with this position. we heard from the un secretary general antonio gutierrez,
4:09 am
who said that it's worrying that rushes using its own ballistic missile right now. but on the other hand, we also heard from the presence of serbia, he said that the west has to be out of its mind. if it's going to green light, using long range missiles on russian territory and then not expect to evoke a response from russia itself and hungry, suppor administer also said that just the exchange of ballistic missiles, in general, between ukraine in russia is just a worrisome situation. i think it's safe to say that it is a worry, some situation really, but probably the most worry, some thing about the situation is the fact that the west seems to be doing whatever it wants, closing its eyes to the consequences of its own actions. right, let's discuss all this now with mike my lou for my pencil. gotten senior security policy analyst joining me right here in just to do, mike is good to have you talk me in the studio like it always stops online, but you, you are the student with me. thanks for him. now, i know you've been following this development, and as today's,
4:10 am
through this whole escalation, washington has put the blame squarely on moscow. despite been the 1st to authorize the use of long read myself against the roster ad through your grade. now that's ticket less than to describe before i even ask the question. escalation at every turn at every step is coming from russia. they're the ones who escalate this. they're the ones who started this war is because of their aggression into a summer territory. ukraine. and this war can, and today you hear, say this over and over again. it can, if russia would stop the war and stop what they're doing with their aggression. so this is an aggression from their side. for a long time, the white house are using these long ridge type into rush into a type target and say, rush, i would escalate the war would be really invite retaliation. so why now? why change the policy now? i'm not going to get into specifics. we're going to continue to be there for
4:11 am
ukraine. this is a president that has led on making sure ukraine has what it needs on in the battlefield. or what do you make of this rhetoric and the, the distribution of guilt, karen day is not off. is them not? this is typical of out of the white house they, it's once again, don't believe you're lying. eyes type of scenario that to constantly inconsistently comes out of this white house. no one believes or credibility is 0. even though she's a spokes person for the, the white house, but there, you get a look at the facts. and the facts are that it was us and other nato countries had to be involved in the, in the, the, the targeting, the, the information flows to that, to the messiahs, to be used and to pick the targets. because the too sophisticated for the ukrainians to use. so they, there had to be outside assistance and, and,
4:12 am
and mr. put and warned against that. now here's rach, end up. it was not necessarily a to go back at the allies because he does not want to give them a a reason to have a confrontation. so i think he's going to actually, actually, as he did yesterday, increase the pressure on ukraine proper. and i think he's also being uh, mr. putting this, being careful in terms of escalate. tori, it's on the escalation side of this part. he knows trump is coming in. he thinks he can work with him this, this, this is a blatant example of the outgoing bite and administration setting trumps incoming administration of for failure. because and to lock him in, we see we saw the british and the french doing this already. and in order to get
4:13 am
the us to do it and bite in just went along with it. and it's, of course, this happened at just after the results of the election. so this is really a last ditch effort by the democrats to really stick it to the incoming republicans, as i said, and, and to lock him in on a policy that, that minimizes the trump stability to do anything. but trump, trump has a way of, uh, of rejecting all that and doing his own thing. and that's, that's what we're hoping to see. he does not one of the other war. and i think he will look for ways to de escalate and actually pick up the phone and called mr. pope and talk to him. and but that is what the whole world as expected. well, you're not going to get that out of the, by the ministration. because they have a, they have their own narrative, they, they, they want to support ukraine. it looks for whatever it takes in for as long as it takes, as they've said, i thought i remember somebody joining these ones asked uh, a bite we call button. and he said, no, yeah,
4:14 am
he said he would speak to building trump, a said just the opposite. he will talk to him. and, and trump will be coming in. what out. they did the baggage that he had to sustain in his 1st administration. he learned a lot, but also a lot has happened. it does since he was in this administration. and this is what we and he is gonna, it's a much more complicated world now. and he's, and i, i know the russians are very leery of trump because a lot of things happened under trump sanctions, but they also got to keep in mind that trump was under tremendous pressure of, of all of these allegations of russian collusion. basically being a spy and a puppet for, for putting this i would say. and, and we had investigations that along that line. so he was trying to show that that wasn't the case that we've had investigations that have absolutely throwing all of that out. now i think he's much more of his own person. he doesn't have to run
4:15 am
again. and i think he's going to try to do what he can to de escalate the tensions that not only in ukraine, but also in israel that occurred after after he had left the office there. there were no wars when he was in office under under binding, where we were, we were involved in 2 proxy wars about ready to go up against russia. that's unacceptable to the world and to the american people. they've got their own problems and they're not. and, and that's why they gave trump a mandate to try to clean it up because this administration current administration was total failure. all right, now moscow was set, they were forced to use the hypersonic a mess. so a to send a warning to the west. how compelling is the demonstration that must go as you know, gone through with right now and the 2nd the what will be the chapter in the west when it comes to what the wave for what is going to look like? i think they were somewhat surprised by that capability that missile was,
4:16 am
was definitely a message that we, you're going to do this. well, we're going to do that. and it was an, a staged escalation on the part of putting to send this, this particular type of missile. it's, it's new killer capable, but it didn't have nukes on it. and that's, and it was also hypersonic, as well as had the capability of carry multiple warheads. and that was demonstrated on in that attack on the ukrainian missile a production area. and it was quite significant and it was quite a display and no defense. there's no western defense against that. hypersonic is coming in about 10 or 10 times the speed of sound. we have nothing in the inventory that could begin to take that out. so this was a demonstration that if you continued long the site we're going to be escalate. now,
4:17 am
what would be a further escalation of the west did something probably launch swarms of these messiahs. this was supposed to be an experimental missile, but next, but now it says showing its capabilities in an actual operational conditions and it worked and it was very effective and look at it has caught and has caught the attention of the world this, this hypersonic may so we understand about 3 kilometers a 2nd. yeah, that is so fast that we understand. like you have mentioned, there is new air defenses in the world, right? that can stop at the moment it just launched right now. is this a signal to with the escalation now that they have they have pushed moscow to this level when he use it because we had some best in saying some of these and even some positions and the west was a well is all up bluff. what put thing has been say, now they have seen is not the bluff. is this a signal to deescalate the whole tension and conflict a new train?
4:18 am
well, there's but there's a history. and again, let's be factual about it. but they haven't, they never took, putting out his word. you've talked about red lines, ignore them. that's what, that's what i've created the demo back in february of 2022. we're seeing that again . he says, now you, now you are crossing another red line. and we're going to act and this was a demonstration that they have that russia has that capability. i think people have got the in the west have got to start believing what pollutant says he's if he's a very shrewd strategic thinker, we don't have strategic thinkers in the west right now in, in, in, in terms of leadership positions. and i think that this also will give us a trump and opportunity to say, okay, we're going to what, what, what has been happening isn't working. so let's do something different. and that's why i think with him coming in, it will be maybe a change. but what's, what i'm really concerned about right now is the time between now and his
4:19 am
inauguration because this administration could really jack up things and, and, and create conditions that really create even greater tensions. but i think pollutants response will be limited only in the ukraine. and not go into the nato countries that i can say by now, the printer guns re sent a briefing, had express secretary jumping from we don't want any war, a confrontation with moscow to the issue of we have to do everything for p. s the defend itself, the less the condition, or we don't seek a wider regional conflict. we don't seek war with russia. and i think we've been pretty clear about that from this podium and from this administration, we've seen this type of, you know, dangerous, reckless rhetoric before from president boone. and what we're
4:20 am
focused on is continuing to support ukraine with what it means. the ukraine, as you know, has been successful in continuing to push back against russia and aggression. and how do you interpret this contradictions in the same statement? we don't want to war, but we have to support kids. i don't get, well, there's a split in within the administration, this current administration, the defense department knows what its limitations are. and he knew that this would be an escalation. and they also were aware of the russian capabilities they were aware of this missile. they, they were aware it's hypersonic and, and, but we don't. and they also are very where we don't have a defense against that. yet. you have the state department, still a prevailing in this administration to push ahead and support keep. this has been their narrative all along again their, their, their desire is to, is to, uh, contain russia. now what's, what i also think it's, it's a message from putting also to trump saying, look, you, you,
4:21 am
during your administration, you dropped out of the intermediate ballistic missile treaty. this may be an opportunity for you to maybe consider renewing it because that is because of your exit from that treaty that we were able then to bring on these and begin to use these hypersonic. and europe wheels will be, will suffer from it because, and we are able to move these missiles now because you and left left. this left, this trade by a, historically, trump has been against these, these multi lateral agreements. but on the other hand, he was swayed by the concept with the, these ideological fanatics stating that he surrounded himself with during his 1st term. i'm hoping that he is a smarter now, based upon what he's learned, that he doesn't do that. i mean, you look at tulsa gabbert, she's
4:22 am
a very much against this escalation, but she's not in a policy role per se, but she will have influence in the policy to see or the other they, they, the, the current advice, national security advisor for trump will be is very adamantly against russia, as is excess excess. who is the nominee for defense secretary. but trump is also made clear, he will make his own decision. but the unlike binding bite and just was went along with what he was handed. trump has demonstrated that ability to make his own decisions. contrary to whatever advice he might get from these other guys. and i think he's learned a lot. plus the world today is much more complicated than it was back then. and he's got to and he'll, i think, respond to what, what's reality today and, and, and act accordingly. he has made it very clear. he wants to cut, cut off wars,
4:23 am
he wants to stop them. and he wants to resolve these conditions. you've got, you've got other countries in the world. they're saying we've had enough of the us dominance in the had had germany and, and you saw them come up with bricks, victory. that's why bricks is just really gaming momentum. oh yeah. that was in cars last month. to, to, to observe what was going on. it's amazing how many countries, for some 40 countries, they used to be only 5, and they were all little lonely countries often. and now, 40 countries want to join that there's, there's sent in the united states, a message to that, that we need, that we need to change course as, as, as countries out there and, and, and get out from the dollar dominance. and the western financial system, which has been used against them, that developing countries. and so this is not just between the united states and russia or the united states in china. it's a, it's the united states against 40 other countries out there will have
4:24 am
a g d p by the way, greater than all the g 7. so this is a quite significant and it's picking epstein. yeah, because i talked in the coming years ago we, we hear that some countries have even applied to join the brakes. yeah. and then we'll go in and in the coming years we're going to see more countries even joining breaks as well, especially from the global south and all of that. well, that's why they, they didn't take any full membership this this year. but they did establish the, the, the part of law ship state partnerships, and they, they put on, uh, i think, uh, 11 other at 13 other countries. that's a very significant, even the turkey nato member is now a partner in bricks. uh, you know, this, this really represents what potentially as a fracture in the, in the whole natal structure n e, you structure that this is going on, you even have the friendship. maybe we joined them and put in the system. so no, but this is also faxed, these made it clear it's not into western,
4:25 am
but it's non western. but he's also said that we're not denigrating the existing international institutions we want to do is trying to reform them to uh, to be more aware and responsive to the needs of the developing countries. details of multiple realities taking shape. all right, very much, you know, for that, let's come back to what we've been talking about with these developments that right now that would be us strategic combined has said that 80 military exchange with russia will be a terms acceptable to washington. now, china, on the other hand, has criticized about rhetoric as obsolete as i'll beated mindset. well, uh, as a form up, i'm at least the pen. i'll see you on the pentagon. what do you interprets of this? they want to be treated equally. this is what the message is. there's i know from talking to russian officials in the past. they are very concerned by the way, the,
4:26 am
the american leadership as treated them. they looked down upon them, talk down to them. they are still, they want to be treated as equals strategic partners. i think they're demonstrating that look, we don't have the hypersonic capabilities. we don't even have a defense against them yet. they've got the but yet they have the, the, the offensive capabilities of a high percentage. and they're working like with the s 500 s 550 to get, get to, to have that capability maybe against hypersonic. so the interesting thing about the hypersonic set, the russians on the chinese app is that they're also maneuverable, they're like ballistic missiles that you can maneuver that that is astonishing that and we don't have a defense against a right. it's so interesting speaking about how i wish we had the time to keep talking about this issue of miko models. thank you so much for joining my pleasure . thank you for having a great, thank you my the as lot of important makes us thought was wanting to the west to you can find more about that and the main points of the russian president's speech,
4:27 am
not website r t dot com about your rob has issued orders for the activation of the new advanced uranium enriching centrifuges, and it comes as an angry response to being sent showed by the us new p, a watch dog over its failure to cooperate. but to ron brenda, the western pushed the motion as destructive such an action at a time when it ran, and the aga were on the path of constructive interaction, proves once again, that the 3 european and american governments are not at all honest in their claim of maintaining the credibility of the i e a and that a ron's nuclear issue is merely an excuse and a pretext for advancing their legitimate goals. the resolution was pushed by 3 european signatories for the 2015 nuclear deal. namely that you k, france, germany plus the west of forsyth, it's condensed. iran calls the all your a to keep a closer watch. uh on. uh,
4:28 am
it was nuclear activities of course. 19 members voted in favor 12 apps, the restaurant china and berkeley. now fossil, we're the only nations that works, of course, opposed to the resolution. the measure actually demands that it won't improve its cooperation with the agency. it also costs for clarification on choices of highly enriched uranium found to, to on declared sides and asks for smoother access file for i. e, a inspectors that there was atomic facilities on what the reaction has there been to these resolution by the new p, a watchdog right after the i a past it's essential resolution. it was announced. i'll just start to further with talking towards steps to significantly wrap up. it's new to your activities are they've now announced the launch of new events, centrifuges, and again, the guess injection processing to us, we new generations of its domestically built a set of centrifuge is of course it's interesting that there was among the few
4:29 am
nations that voted against the resolution, russia is a major party to the nuclear agreement assigned between iran and the walls towers back in 2015. and um, russian has always been critical of the west non compliance with the court. now at the board of governors session, which led to the adoption of there was an issue on the russian and boy, a once again war that such a move will only escalate things further that some of the i, a board of governors members deliberately choose the path of escalation, they sponsor the resolutions that nullify the progress between iran and the i a, a, and provoke to run into a tough counter measures to which it's cooperation with the agency will almost certainly fall victim the u. k. germany, france in the us do not learn from their mistakes and constantly fall into the same trap. any agreements, any effort, and the plan to try to revive the chord hinges on the western countries. um,
4:30 am
effort to try to convince iran that the united states would not abandon the deal under a different administration. and that remains to be seen how this plan to try to revive the accord will go ahead. given this new trouble about the west has that created by the r t companies where you can get all the details of all the stories we're following. this. our thanks for watching it. i'll see you again. the the, my fellow americans. today i armed forces joined our nato allies in air strikes against the serbian forces the
