the, the, the outgoing us secretary of state said miss flooding you'd crane with weapons long before the 2022 conflict broke out. and that's this fight forcing things. suppose it pro peace thumbs up the time. we saw it coming. we were able to make sure that not only we prepared analysing partners were prepared with ukraine, was prepared. we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine, to make sure that they hadn't hand what they needed to defend themselves. things like sting or traveling so that they could use go by them, raises eyebrows by owner and hillary clinton and george soros with the highest us civilian award. the comforter verse of the trunk records go on officials and the break away guarantee and region all trends and mr. call for alternative ways to get russian gas for suffice for the country to move the desk to

gas from p. s refusal to maintain front of the company that the, with the top stories for the past 7 days and right job to the moment developments this summer. they welcome to the weekly ukrainian forces have attempted to break through a tuck and rushes, cursed region. the russian defense ministry, a non stop the push occurred to run the per diem supplementary at around 9 am aiming to stop the russian offensive in the cook region. enemy forces attempted to counter attack in the direction of bed and settlement with an assault team including 2 tanks, a pioneer vehicle and 12 and vehicles carrying troops, artillery and aviation of the north, forced grouping, carried out strikes against the ukrainian assault group. 2 tanks,

the pioneer vehicle and 7 and the vehicles were destroyed. the operation is ongoing . meanwhile, the us secretary of state has confirmed that washington started providing weapons to p. as long before russian launched its military operation in 2022 or 2 senior correspondent broadcast the of has been looking into the comments. it is the world around us. well, bones is, or the renewal and security and the economy's trouble, the bodily ministrations, foreign policy. my anthony blinking as aust us to pretend that everything's fine. she did a good job today, as i said with you. and as we look at the all of the terrain we've traveled these last 4 years, i think we hand over in america and i'm much, much stronger position. i haven't come through the economic crisis having come through the health crisis. and having changed much for the better our position

around the world because we've made those investments and i analyze this in partnerships. also, both could objectively be described as a catastrophic tom which, which began with disaster and have gotten a start until the input disaster. every where mister blinking, strapped down with a journalist to give his side of the story on how everything went to his 1st. if you look at the trajectory of the, of the conflict, because we saw it coming, we were able to make sure that not only were we prepared and allison partners are prepared for that ukraine was prepared. we made sure that well before the russian aggression happened, starting in september count the russian aggression happened in february starting in september. and then again, december, we quietly got a lot of weapons to, to ukraine, to make sure that they hadn't had what they needed to defend themselves. things like sting or as javelins that they could use or, you know, attack the pro russian separate this in the don't boss of the top washer this. the

billing could ultimately it needs was right. the us and they do well, pumping ukraine, sort of guns and full of i'm oh, hard cool. militarize ation. russia has been talking about this for many years about the us and u. k. pumping ukraine with weapons about n. listen, nato drills in the black sea, violating russian borders about western military aircraft, getting dangerously close to civil plains in russian air space. that's exactly why one of the special military operations objectives is the de militarization of ukraine to ensure our security missed the blink. it is, of course, i saw his teeth from the stuff to the sea as the us part of ju credit and full of guns. well, they actually wanted to see valve us is peace. i worked very hard and the lead up

to the war, including, you know, meetings with my russian counterpart surrogate lab rough in geneva, a couple of months before the war. trying to find a way to see if we could prevent it, trying to test the proposition, whether this was really about russia's concerns for the security concern. somehow about ukraine and the threat that posed or nato and the threat that it post. and we were intentionally engaged diplomatically with russia, was a co we incidence. i was also that in geneva, full that need to this is the villa where joe vitamin vladimir putin are going to meet the busy security here is nothing to law fast. i remember, well how russian journalist, what bod for joe, by his press conference, where he took pre prepared questions, gave pre prepared dogs as to pre selected journalist. i'll take your questions and as usual folks, they gave me a list of the people i'm going to call on. so jonathan associated press

a minutes woke away. meanwhile, glad to be a poor loud journalist from over the u. s. in europe. oscar, whatever they bought. and i also this thing to remember the tools being an abject failure, because the united states refused to accept any of russia's concerns. since then. had there been any opportunity to engage diplomatically in a way that could end the war on justin durable terms? we would have been the 1st to seize them. unfortunately, at least until this moment we haven't seen any size. the rush has been genuinely prepared to engage. i hope that that changes the expression, the best describes least the brain can slide the old version of events. these is covering one's boss hooks. is the blink. it's busy with fumbling. every crisis is coming his way. somehow for goss about rushes lets us in a so a 5. 0 boy, nick,

stop expanding towards this or outs. valesa, but they brought me off that we called forget the, the stumble totes, of 2022. when you grade was, was ready to sign a piece deal with russia. russia was ready to give back him song and stuff. i don't . what was your regions? the same piece, deal the united kingdom, represented by no doubt but farce. johnson sabotaged and convinced ukraine to pull out of this. the billing could forget that on one side of the african chinese police initiative, which miss the bank couldn't help to pay though. and on top of that was the big could, the sold one of us, you let me the evidence. that is essentially what he means when he says the russia doesn't. one piece will not bring the body to nickel slowly. we have no be

conditions for starting negotiations. we are ready for a dialogue without the conditions, no, but on the basis of what we agreed upon during the negotiation processing the symbol in 2022, which i have already said a 100 times and also on the basis that should do most of the realities on the ground on either of these and you come to disclose to me. speaking of realities on the ground, they were much better for you grade before someone gave mr blinking last job due to your time to underwear them. these are decisions for ukrainians to make that they have to decide where their future is and how they want to get there, where the line is drawn on the, on the map. at this point i don't think is fundamentally going to change very much . the real question is, can we make sure that you find is in a position you lean forward with that, that the, the areas that rush, the controls you know, will have to be seated. seated is not the, the question. the question is on the line, as a practical matter in the foreseeable future is unlikely to move very much. well,

if it starts it's new credit and had a 1000000 more healthy and happy men who were well alive and well, millions more and population vastly more territory. a new, less on payable debt and much more optimism about the future. the half was ukraine before blinking vitamin bars, which would all sorts of disgusting feelings into the landscape is i do, you knew why? because it was never about you crazy. it's interesting what i'm hearing you say is that you can say i'm no longer rest and it's major support or the united states. you see it as resting, elsewhere, europe, etc. look, i hope very much. and i don't want to say expect, but i certainly hope very much that the united states will remain the vital support of that it's meant to ukraine because again, this is not just about ukraine has never just been about

u. k. it was always about nato because it's bullying could be even mess. last up off your average, you repeat, or america did. they feel safe or somehow a brilliant applied to the feed, russia and ukraine has turned into european prime ministers cooling and the citizens to make stashes of cab foods and the by the administration. guessing the problem. bill, me little thing from the american people during the election, the russians. but right now, no, don't look like this. the ukraine has low seventies and is being directly used by the us as a battering ram against the restaurant. almost immediately ukraine was turned into a testing ground for biological warfare experiment and is now being pumped up with width and definitely some gift. some of the success really sucks since about basically running the show to controlling the rest of the collective west. they are

using the current situation with which they created through ukraine. this war against the russian federation of a subscription to remove competition. will they see us as a competitor pulling ticket. eventually remember how american senator lindsey graham previously commented on this individual and september 2023, as well as the referred to us assistance to ukraine as and i quote is a good investment for the american people. we celebrate that they were destroying the russian army without losing a single soldier. new fridays, of course, only one case study and failure is to bring could manage stuff, flip and flop at the fun. but we think the world who asked him, we were determined to do everything we could to help ensure that october 7th never happen again. we also wanted to make sure that the war wouldn't spread. the conflict wouldn't, wouldn't spread to other fronts, to other countries because that would mean more death and destruction. it would also mean that the actions as are always taking and gaza were likely to enjoy or

even longer. and i can come to that in a minute. 3rd, and we wanted to make sure to the best of our ability that the children, the women, the men in gaza corps caught in the crossfire of a mazda as initiation. that they did nothing to start and were basically powerless to stop. whereas protected as possible and got the assistance they needed to survive this horrific conflict. and we've been working on each of those fronts every day. since. where does one begin? pallet start tens of thousands of civilians. dead. millions displaced, cities raised is really hostages. north with on israel, who is the tax pilot, started living on iran, yemen, and has now virtually i next with more of syria blue with americans supplied homes

the bottom and blinking tub. big on live catastrophe. and i've gotten a stop which the outgoing secretary of state tried to praise, and he's interview, how does that early failure and i've gotta stand really change the sense. do you think that president fighting really had this under control, that you had it under control? do damage america's credibility. at 1st i make no apologies for ending america's longest war. this, i think is a signal achievement of the presidents. i think the question was what, what were you going to do moving forward from the withdrawal? we also have to learn lessons from afghanistan itself, here at the state department, one of the things that i ordered almost immediately was an after action review to

try to make sure that we understood what are we gotten right also, what are we gotten wrong track? we've actually put into practice many of those recommendations in subsequent prices that we have to face, whether it was an 11 on whether it was an israel, whether it was in sudan, all of that we brought to bear based on lessons that we've learned from afghanistan . i was back at the top. you will. so remember, so this is one of the tyler bands. how much trucks would be bold, see it on, on videos they have hundreds and hundreds of these thousands of other vehicles, billions of dollars worth of weapons with a valuation vehicles tags, and even helicopters that we just left behind. we will for that, it was she really a to at the top, the,

but little that we knew that mr. blinking had much, much more applied. and what's tony worry is he still has 2 weeks to go. so i going us, president joe biden has been hunting. i the country's highest civilian owner for his final time on the list of 19 lorry. it's has certainly raised plenty of questions if not a few eyebrows as well. tech type, who need on mosque was succinct in his description, calling the white high ceremony a travesty. while joining the sporting an entertainment fled to receive the precedential metal of freedom for democrats, stalwarts, hillary clinton and philanthropist towards sor us 95 year old 1000000000, or a source has quite fee controversial track record. having been blamed from

publishing some fees by his fucking their currencies and attempting to both region, change the address of the capital. now molto, but has been cut off from russian gas supplies after failing to settle, it must have dealt with gas problem. but that also means the break away region of trans mr. is no longer getting the fuel either leading to mosse blackouts, local officials or not, calling for new ways to import pressure and gas trends. the nesta should have direct relations with russia without any intermediaries, including in relation to gas. our formula, direct supplies from russia via whichever pipe payments on our most goes issue, which is nobody's business. we are not interested in buying gas from romania and europe at market prices. just do not prevent us from working with russia. and we will not let them robust can take over off factories or stop them under the pretext of lack of resources to help large enterprises. the residence of trends and eastern

are enduring power. cuts, hospitals sound essential food production. plants are the only site still running large they own affected. most other facilities have been forced to shut down. many citizens are left with like water or he's a local reporter in moldova told us police, there are making sure no gas flows to the brake and we reach we are now near the village of gra bickley. these guys are guarding a tab that supplies gas to transmit the engines. they close their competitive post . now there's the least crew is guarding the valve agreement. it was the really poor will the energy crisis in moldova, on terms of easter emerged when ukraine refused to renew the 5 year contract and russian gas from that kitchen. i was in requested that most of it was energy joined gallons from deliver fuel via alternative ways. however, the company posted supplies as. busy though, but fails to pay debts for already consumed fuel,

which russia estimates of over $700000000.00 for joining us from budapest now as senior research fellow. it's a global policy institute thing to george zamarelli george. good to see you. can you have refuse to extend funds or for russian gas europe? now an energy prices is gripping one of the confidence per risk areas in the depths of winter. it didn't take a sidekick to see this one coming. you know, it didn't, and of course um, and when we say kids on the kids doesn't actually make decisions on its own cook, you has no sovereign powers. so this is a decision taken by the united states. and it was done with a view to provoking a crisis in particular this crisis in moldova, and the media coverage of course is, is, is deliberately up lift gates things. and it's suggesting that it's somehow of

russia that has prevented gas from coming to a mold though, but what is suppose nothing, nothing of the sort. so this was a crisis, deliberately provoked um as an opportunity to re incorporate trends in this for you into bold over probably another let's do a rectify what happens. uh, so 2 years ago. is there really a way for debt stricken moved over george to keep getting rushing gas even if the patient does pay up? well, least, you know though, when we're ready, it has gas, low dover cut off um of itself cut itself off from russian gas in 2022. i mean it actually joined the, the sanctions regime. so the only gas that was coming in to mold over it was a gas. that was the best thing to go to

a transmission for you. so some will double ready have alternative sources lined up and it was, it has alternative sources lined up now. and it was a transmission convert that this gas into electricity and this electricity, kate, of to 80 percent of model with electricity needs. and now because mulder with has purchased a whatever electricity from other sources, a cheaply romania. so what's really happening now is an attempt to cause a transmission for you and saying, well look, you don't, you don't have any gas, and you can get it from us. we'll provide it for you. but you have to pay market prices for it, which is a little bit much because most of itself is not paying market prices for the gas since getting out. of course, there's a lot of other countries affected to what do you think he of is, is trying to achieve or expecting to buy, refusing to extend the, the russian gas drums of the deal. i think it is that to provoke this crisis in uh,

transit history because it goes now transist raising in very serious trouble because um, well nobody is getting gas and it's getting electricity as a result of a proper isn't really suffering the issue. that is what the transmission doesn't have it, and so low is now turning around to transmit streams as well. we can provide you with the gas, but you have to pay market prices. and essentially this will, we knew well from russian gas you're going to be part of the is the, is of the, the weston system, a countries. and so that's, that's what they're trying to do. so i think it, they, they look if this is what you graham's plan was because this is the washington plan, which was to provoke a crisis which transmits street in order to and the leaves. this'll be causing independence of transmit stress. so this is really trying to open

a 2nd from the gains, russia you're in hungry, which also relies considerably on russian fuel inputs. how has it been affected by the gas transit shut down so far? when it has, if it goes hungry, didn't really get it's a gas through ukraine. hunger is getting his gas through truck stream. and as is romania and both area and australia. um but you know, little dough winter as history one. so the that, that's what is a problem. now people say that, oh, well, i'm just district and still get his gas through touch stream. but he doesn't really work that way because the, the energy business is a, is a long term business. you signed contracts, there's a long term contract. you can just turn in, turn things on and off at any moment, just turn the switch on and suddenly you, you are providing gas for trends. this red it's, it's, if it doesn't work that way,

you know you, the capability of the pipelines is already booked up. so if you want to get any additional capacity, you know that, that takes time and that takes planning. so calm just there's no opportunity for just switching things on and off at any moment. and in the meantime, people in most need the hates are not getting it this winter. not at george. always a pleasure to see a very happy new year as well. live from buddha patio, george zamarelli senior research fellow with a global policy institute. think time thanks george. now the term stranger them, the fiction certainly appeared at times to describe the peculiar phenomena. now these modern politics last year for multiple assassination attempts and the us president elect to inconvenience election results in europe, must go mules rooms. they wrote over the past 12 months next the

oh, yes indeed. well, you last showed a year, then we're done with this. so i'm back to orleans back to real journalism back to a real life. cool. yeah. nice working with you that has been good. what are you talking about? i just signed this up for another year here. law school meals the way everybody. welcome back to the most go mules. i'm shay, bowes. i'm joined by scientists. little help or i'll get organic per boy is yet such a hard time here on the last couple years. i didn't think he'd actually survive the

what did we do after pearl harbor? we went to all out victory. i don't remember the japanese putting any americans in ovens in from harbor and japan. the smithereens were destroyed. berlin, best option here. you know, and of course, lindsey is so complicated, evil, ridiculously retarded. a, you know, it's hard to find somebody that could even fit into the category to be instagram instagram, busy with him. and the winner is, but actually we found somebody else who's feature very heavily here. on the moscow mules, agnes stack zimmerman. the darling of the woke elite in germany. there's just a sort of a smell of nuremberg offer before and after the run the video and you just don't have enough cups in cardboard to be a fascist because she is a madman. the carpet is a ppo, just always there, right? have a look. you can see it all across here. are you good thompson,

socialist as we should as i was talking to you as a testament was conquered? what's your name? my name is chuck zimmerman. muddy stock? zimmerman has been very upset by the fact that someone has called how long ago i am not of all my not, i am a peacemaker. no more. mission deals in the creeks tribe. i don't i b as in deep sleep in starbucks brunswick. i know in there and so you know, and i feel like i'm back in new york or them. yeah. i bought some slips that i bought. i, i'd say it is all in most go on the whole sort of by the, let's just reading the big, what is the car the previous try but a piece longer. she's a free, a fruitless tribal despite all this, some of these politicians are very, very, and soon as the stick or something about my hand, about the whole sly, the ukraine, you take some time, this isn't fine. i noticed one of the

of the something the, something in the something wrong with a high. she wants to re, quote 1000000 man under make it absolutely. i'll break a trip to see them on the far side of a compromise. will the videos of these here on board or that next slide? so could i really look at the huh? check the you will see say, slab. are you crazy? if you liked it or not, can you believe this? i'm of not those the signal to my thrones. so there's a movie, i miss stucky a month one of my favorites. and by the way, i have to log in. i had been to see the local doctor. and the reason i was doing so much of this sort of, let's say, 19 thirty's, fashionable, waiving during this year's show, the season was i've been exposed to much you politicians. and i may have contracted

a nazi. i use us, which is a common condition from journalists who do spend too much. so i'm looking at a you people like on the line. so i actually am aligned, etc. so i, i see the nazis of course clicked on the a. so the final candidates in us, the year category at the most come, you'll, uh, oscars is, you know, the other 2, you know, they both want to see lots of young men die. and they will spend your money doing is that there's another kind of more, incipient creepy, sort of too sweet to be wholesome, as we say back on our island, i guess who it is, you know, old.
