[000:00:00;00] the, the sanctions imposed today because they will have profound effect kind of growth refreshing the economy and make it more difficult to conduct as wars. it is probable, a gas prices could increase as much as $0.34 a gal who is going to have a more profound impact on the rush is ability to continue to act in the way it's acting conduct. yeah, abide right. there is us sign since on a rush or a set to boom, or i'm back and hit americans in the pocket, put in georgia by friday here, taking his last breath to an office and leaving a damaged legacy behind details are on the way. nicholas, my daughter was taking the venezuelan presidential out of office for a good time, fletcher's quotes his life, body,

and soul to the people of the nation takes on foreign governments that are looking to bring him down. and it's donald trump has his eyes set on greenland. he's uh, circulating video of locals looking at a caching on the exchange after the us and zeros in on that island. it's rare of a manual reset. the is a saturday morning, correct? nobody here at most go into from a real resume shay in the in time you see where the grateful for your company today . let's kick off the news out here straight to our top story out of washington for this hour. the us announcing a slew of sweeping sanctions against russian oil industry. i talked you're targeting a pair of other nations major energy producers. however, bivens admits that, while the move is meant to talk, if not impertinence, americans who are going to end up paying the price you've made today, decision about sanctions against russia. are you concerned that that decision will

perhaps be to gas prices going up? i can explain why those sanctions were imposed today and not earlier in the term. essentially to impose today because they will have profound effect on their growth and their refreshing economy and make it more difficult for putting to conduct as wars. it is probable, a gas prices could increase as much as $0.34 a gallon. but what's going to have a more profound impact on russia's ability continue to act in the way it's act to conduct. meanwhile, london is following washington's footsteps imposing its own. nancy russian side, sions, which essentially mirror what uncle sam has in store. moscow has responded to what biden's, leaving behind, suggesting trump will be left with a mess on his hands once he returns to the dc thrown of power. some leave their mark on history, while others succeed only in leaving stains. biden is set to leave trump with the scorched earth,

and will complicate the prospects for restoring dialogue with russia as much as possible. the latest set of sanctions targeting the energy sector is part of that plot. the by then there's an association and posed a new sanctions in an effort to squeeze russia at russia's energy sector. now they claimed that this list of sanctions is the most significant, one to date, against a rough shot target in russian oil and gas exports, including rushes, major oil producers. now that includes gust from nest. and so we know that as well as subsidy, there is an additive to that. we're providing services to both oil companies, including insurance and transportation. the us treasury also issued a determination allowing american authorities to impose sanctions against any person determine to operate or has operated in the energy sector of russia. over 2000 subsidy buries of the companies were also added to the sanctions

list. and they've also targeted over a 180 vessels, largely oil tankers link to what the u. s. had describes the shuttle fleet of russia operators used to ship russian oil and over 30 russian based oil field service providers were also slapped with restrictions. now this is interesting because this comes just a little bit over a little bit more than a week before biden and leaves the office. and when asked whether the sanctions were discussed with the upcoming president, donald trump, a senior us by then administration officials didn't give out a clear answer. but it seems that they believe that this would give the kids and the trump administration, the oper had when it comes to negotiate. shes uh, with a rough shock. the next administration will have to make a decision about what they want to do. but we think that by taking these actions, it puts them in

a better position to help find just and sustainable piece from this conflict. so the bible administration says that we're trying to make things easier for the president elect. donald trump, when he comes in, is that what really the case is here? well, the situation will of course create challenges when it comes to trump's upcoming presidency. a trump has campaigned on ends in the conflict in ukraine, and he has strong skepticism on imposing more sanctions against russia. well now just recently he said that president is ready to meet and the median is going to be set up. we understand still no call with who is that a day one or week one wants to. he wants to meet and we're gonna, we're setting it up. president button once to me is said that even publicly that we have to get that were over with, that's

a bloody mess and they will see how trump will deal with this. and although trump never revealed a clear road map to peace, but he has criticized president joe, by those unconditional aid to a t a. and during these a be election, he also has about to quickly and the conflicts between a russia and ukraine and to restore negotiations again a. so it'd be an energy company that is co with the by ross as a gas problem was affected to invest in sections of the case may be. but generally, how is this effect in the balkans? it seems that serbian president, alexander, of which is called on his government to prepare for false with a present important as he talked about previously about the us plans to sanction the country is the main oil and gas company, a company in which desk from left and holds a 50 percent sake. now he has also mentioned an upcoming meeting with what's in

which the situation will be discuss, present in which is also and now is that both ways is ready to purchase a rushes share of the key energy company in serbia. amid the sanctions, no more than a 100. let's go to products. we have money to buy it right away. it would mean about $600000000.00 euros or something to buy out the russian share. it can be $56700.00. it doesn't matter to us to do it. if we went in that direction, we will try to avoid it 1st. but if it went to go in that direction, we would not sell it to others. so we would buy it ourselves and we would have that money immediately and we are ready to pay them right away. but that is my question for the americans. okay, people, do you want to punish the russians? but we will pay the money. that money is immediately available to them for both military and other needs. what's the point? so what's his has also acknowledge

a potential challenges out regarding us sanctions against the company. and recently, for the following talks with us officials, he came out stating that he did not have any good news to give to the public. the serbian company now faces financial sanctions from the us as early as next month. and of course, the e u is probably likely to follow in washington split steps, which would bring a lot more pressure on serbia. but serbian president noted that us sanctions against the company, due to russia's ownership of its chairs, would not affect the old grades, refusal to join in, and the sanctions against russia specifying that bald grade will try to maintain friendly relations with moscow. now guys from also came out with a statement related to the sanctions essentially, and they believe that the these functions are on justified and illegal. the company will continue to operate,

ensuring the stability of its business through the implementation of projects related to technological sovereignty. the company aims to maintain the stability of operational processes and production chains at the same time, gas problem, nafta believes that the decision to include its assets on the sanctions list was unjustified and illegal. and in violation of the principles of fair competition gas problems. sadie, this pad for any potential function so far, but speak to us. how has russian companies been which standing previous sanctions in the past says, the conflict in new chris started in 2022. russia has become the most sanctioned country in the world, except that it seems that these sanctions are not working the way the west has been hoping for them to work for assistance when he 22 g. 7 nations created an oil price tab intended to limit how much revenue rush i could make from its oil exports over

time that did not work. and just recently in december, uh, president put in said that the west sanctions campaign was senseless because last shot would suit the pressure. and despite the 8 for the native efforts which we've seen by the west to economically this for a rough shop, it's economy avoided the collapse as many economists were trying to predict. now washington's allies also continue to buy nash, natural gas from russia, even after restrictions. according to report publish a published recently, you and nations, a ball, a record quantity of fresh and liquefied natural gas just last year. so clearly their way is not working, but instead of negotiating, it seems that they bothers, shut themselves in the foot and force others to do the same. yeah, talking about the shooting yourself in the foot has zalinski turned off the tops of russian energy floating to the you. he has been blasted by neighboring states for basically setting up

a moving economic crisis. so vacuum is prime minister robot feet. so said retaliatory action could well be on the table. and suspending weapons and cash to ukraine are on the list a. god knows what you guys if you, cranium, president continues to damage just like this. declining president continues to damage the entire european union like this. the slovak republic will show that it is a sovereign country at this moment, zalinski deliberately damages the slovak republic and the european union. so what can we do? first, we can stop all humanitarian aid, even what was recently approved by the government of the slovak republic. the 2nd possibility is that the government of the slovak republic is determined to significantly reduce or even completely remove various social benefits that have been given to credit and citizens who came to the slovak republic. since the start of the military conflict. well,

and ukraine and brussels concluded to basically screw over e u countries likes to dock. yeah. that we're still dependent on russian pipelines as trends that through ukraine and how they do that well by turning off the top about 10 days ago, meaning a loss of about 515000000 annually. first, with ikea and the potential head of another $1000000000.00 from having to pay more for gas from other sources and well, brussels tosses. cash it keeps like it's wrapped around a stripper tool. actually, you members state of actually i can't seem to get any love at home so, so vacuum prime minister robert pizza says that he's just going to march right on over to the you in front of the energy commissioner and basically say, hey, it's key for us bobby make a choice. not that he wants to create drama, he says he isn't quote, interested in escalating tensions, but if the problem isn't solved, so lock you will have to take put hard reciprocal measures. shortly. he says,

when russell says that it doesn't see a problem here that they've been quote, working with the member states and with ukraine to prepare in advance for this scenario. which scenario exactly the one where the gas prices go up and blow a massive hole in the budget of you have another country, the says that the gas coordination groups net last week, which was, i guess, another merry band of dest jockeys. and well, they don't see any security or supply issues for the you at all. just uh, you know, the industrialization of germany, skyrocketing debt and installation in france and the establishment regime changing itself right out of power across the u because national economies suck now. and now, so that, yeah, it's sounding the alarm, but other than that, no, no problem at all because the uses are there haven't been any price increases since

the new year. a whole 10 whopping days as a result of this latest active economic suicide. and well, that's because the market's already hedge their bets that the you would, in fact do something really stupid to itself again, and that's already factored in this latest se, into their projections before the new year pizza had warned in his new year's address the trying to stick it to put in by going further into the whole, paying more for gas having to subsidize your train even more because it also cut off its own russian gas transit income and dealing with rising gas prices across the blog. um, well, wasn't what winning was supposed to look like for the you, hunger, you can get russian gas through turkey at least. but it's still recognizes how ukraine has basically screwed everyone over across the block. the development that led to the latest price increases was ukraine. cessation of the transfer of russian

natural gas on its territory to central europe since the end of the ukrainian transit road in mid december. the price of natural gas on the european market has increased by 20 percent. now hungry is energy supply secure, but ukraine's decision to stop transit shipments. it will lead to further price increases and create new competitiveness challenges for central europe and the european union as a home. oh yeah, and the problem isn't just as well actually. right now, there's also more dover, which was getting russian gas pipe to ukraine and into the pro russian enclave of trans, mr. yeah. but then just decided to stop paying for it, wrapped up a $700000000.00 debt in the process. and then news about solving that problem by claiming that they just own the russian gas problem, majority own gas company that was delivered yet. i think i'll try that with my own gas company after racking up some bills and just see how that goes. like, what are they going to do? cut you off. usually you move,

you see it for many years. russia supplied natural gas. thanks to which in fact, in france and history, you survived internship now due to the decisions made by ukraine and the modem and authorities. trends in history a has lost that possibility. well yeah, yes. to kind of figure that that's how this stopped like that would have turned out, but hey, nothing to see here. all is going great in the you. they say is good. i'm good you . it's hard to get by with electricity and gosh, shortages, the gas is running out and the right electrical blackouts, for example, today from 8 am to noon, and then from $6.00 to 8 pm. so for a total of 8 hours, we didn't have electricity through the most. yes, there are difficulties because i used to wear a t shirt at home, but now i have to be fully dressed. it is become more difficult to live and we've simply doesn't look like these just to we are all tied to electricity, mobile phones, all devices run on electricity. and naturally, these rolling blackouts are

a surprise for some of those who have generators can cope with those who do not have generators are forced to rebuild their lives to the new so called realities might often break out the turtle next and have the sweaters across the u again because winter the storage is way down this year compared to the same time last year as 69 percent capacity down from 84 percent right across europe. same in the u . k, where it's 26 percent lower, but no, nothing really to worry about. everything's under control. you just have an e u member states of actually and outside of that they're going to take drastic measures targeting what it considers to be inactive economic warfare against it by ukraine on the blocks. teeth diplomat tie a callous to say that she's totally sure that, oh you countries are ready to continue to support your train to the point that the you will take over your cranes bills to the us under trump kicks zalinski out of the basement and off their wallet speaking like someone who clearly doesn't have to

worry about being elected to the job by popular vote, looks like the clowns in charge in brussels. are intent on doing a high flying truck piece out here without a safety net to south america. we go here on the program with nicholas. my daughter has been integrated to is a 3rd time. it's been as well as president, despite attempts by western powers to discredit the results of this mid summer election. i thought i was wanting to office since that is a forward he has been given to him by the people of the nation. well, that okay, you're thankful of the power that i have. the power that i represent that is granted to me by the constitution. the symbols have not been given to me by a foreign government to foreign presidents know by a greenville government, i have not been placed as president by the government of the united states, or by the pro imperialist right when governments of latin america, i have not been placed by an oligarchy, like come from the people, i am of the people, and my power emanates from history and from the people and to the people i owe my

entire life for my body and soul. the integration coincides with the new package of western sanctions on colorado, state hunt oil company, and more than a dozen venezuelan officials have been blacklisted and outside the us and it's vassal nations any wish. their guy had mando gonzalez o 3. i had won the election and so get this in the midst of all of this, but us suddenly analysis a 25000000 dollar reward for the capture of venezuela's head of state and nicholas . my daughter, i mean quite literally putting a bouncy on the head of the president and all of this while western leaders and assist, they are showing solidarity with the venezuelan people. well, then all by you i felt like crying with happiness. all the opposition has tormented us. they are always trying to break us to ruin the country. now to see how the president is sworn in, that we're going to be able to move forward for our country with our freedom. this

made me want to cry. we are international secretary of the american communist party, who says that my daughter was integration, is a symbol of defendants wedding people's trial. this is a historic moment and i'm deeply happy to see that present nickel that's my bureau has been inaugurated as the rightfully and duly elected president by the venezuelan people today. and there was little interference from the outside. of course of the failed candidate was at the white house just a few days ago with president biden. and of course, there's ongoing meddling in the internal affairs of been as relevant as well. and authorities arrested quite a few people who they rightfully claim were there to destabilize the country and to try to prevent some sort of regime change operation. but today is a historic day, a day of the triumph of the venezuelan people over us imperialism and over the ongoing meddling in the internal affairs of the legend. america, by the nice they, uh, the united states is

a deeply upset that the nicholas my doodle was elected by the people the venezuela for a certain time. and they want to punish the people of venezuela for choosing their own passive development. by imposing these a course of economic measures, the sanction washington has even announced a 25000000 doing the bounty for my dual capture. i wonder what you think about that? my know, but i think it's less of a, i mean this is a, this is the, the, the guy empire trying to reach out and trying to, uh, shows that he still has our and mike and it's, uh, it's really an embarrassment that this is an elected president of a country and united nations of a country that has diplomatic relations with all other countries in the world. and they put a bounty of millions of dollars for his capture. this just shows the other depravity of the united states at this point. and i'm serious that by which they continue to

engage with lots of the american and caribbean countries that. 4 are on choosing their own path and not count towing to washington of the well a power, the locals in greenland. one donald trump, the pony open by the island and the mca latest son when they're on a recent mission to find it all out. however, perhaps seem a bit stage, but don't take my word for it. how about us into this a coffee shop chat. do you want to be part of the do you do you want donald trump to buy greenland? well, denmark's public rule costs are certainly isn't buying it. it's a acute trump junior of bribing the poor and homeless people to support his

father's a territorial ambition. now there's a bellowing interesting. the frozen lab lies up buried within greenland just happens to be incredibly rich and rare for many roles that are critical for all things. high tech and the us apparently is looking for its own supply in washington beams critical. a temporary ease is a major minor. there and has recently been sold to a new york based company. and the heads of firms involved have recently revealed american officials were heavily involved in the transaction. get this, making sure it didn't fall into chinese. huh. for us to not contribute a call john to take this conversation of how the hero and all change them out from called great to catch on the program. and a very good morning to you. donald trump is pushing to to by greenland. apparently, washington that reportedly lobbied for the islands, a rare of minerals not to be sold to china. so interesting, i mean what, what role you think in the us interest in restaurants, minerals play in the current bid up on trump as well right now

us is justifying every day uh, interest to each competition with china. you have a buy, it's really not about china in the us. national security advisor j. solomon image is a interview given to china projects he actually sets acknowledge assignment is not the real existence show right to united states. but what china is useful is as a rallying force to unite various factions in uh, us, in a national project because a natural project will, of course, has expanded the government control and, and trying to reshape the society. now what greenland has it is that it's sponsored by a very unique strategic location with the polar ice. now melting, a lot of the lands are previously available for exploitation now is wide open. there's a new phone, kear and,

and 3 land does have some largest critical mineral or deposit outside of china. and china just recently slap a bad on a critical mineral export to united states in response to us chip saying sit out in china. right. so you're going to fail. trump propose he's take over a free man. us government already were to the event, raymond, company funds selling their mineral reserve to chinese companies. so that the, the us has always had plans for really. yeah guys just incredible in your absolutely. nailing at the call, i appreciate you setting lights on this. i want you. i want you to have a listen to a comment on russia has pointed out that the pressure trump is put on greenland, that doesn't help security in the architect. now you just mentioned the arctic, we're talking trade see routes and all this available open new frontier is you said call have a quick listen to this. please. the president elect donald trump's aspiration to acquire control over greenland to ensure us security without ruling out using

economic and military force seems to show that the upcoming us administration isn't interested in strengthening military and political stability. an arctic based on developing equal dialogue in cooperation with other arctic states, even if this comes to their nato allies, such an approach risks, further degradation of the situation in the region. and without a doubt, will be taken into account in russia's military planning. yeah, you're listening to the russian about it as a deadlock. are i the column and in your opinion, tells me about the impact in the art take care because it does seem, as you say, a rush. i mean this new frontier is a land rush right now. the climate change actually favors russia as the arctic brows. 0 is now available and is in russia. shares much of the arctic circle now, united states in a push to reach parity with russia in the very strategic artic region. now that this is white,

now donald trump is vocally talking about taking over not really good canada as well. does this is this is a way they're trying to. some p was rushing off of the arctic resources. yeah, i mean, you know, you mentioned canada. there's also they want to change the name of the. busy mexico to the gulf of america. there's all sorts of weird things happening. some people might call little one big distraction though. i was in title to their opinions. i wanted to ask you if i may, i know from chokes a lot. he below has a lot of hot air and go pressing for it, frankly. 1 when it comes to greenland, he didn't rule out a military option when it comes to acquiring greenland from denmark. i mean, surely he's just blowing hot a ride. well, there's not much your team could do about it. i mean, what's the, what's been mark, are you going to do, asked for nato protection. united states is made. so usually does face controls nato. so if really, which one i'm intense to goes through it with that there's really not much european liter on good. do i mean what have to don't in the past,

but to then i'll just spend over for united states. i don't think this will be much different. it will be much longer, but it will be much, robert, as it won't be much grumbling, but in the end, uh, your opinion leaders still have spines to stand up to the united states. yeah, i mean cause you, you bring up a good point because as with many of the allied states of america, denmark, uh, sent a huge amount of its defense equipment and military equipment to ukraine. a lot of it when they're inside deadlock statements that we've got nothing left. so the end of the day, if for some ungodly reason, trump did do some sort of military initiative against green and denmark basically has not been to defend that island territory. but they never scanned a chance, and it said us controls nato. so it's not like nato is going to come to the defense of denmark,

what your needs it needs to pilot is only independent policy and have its own independent military organization that's outside of nato. so they can actually have strategical economy, but i don't see you guys have that. yeah. right now. yeah, i'll just, i'll let you go on this call. obviously, tom's talked a lot about chime there in recent years when he was lost in the oval office. now he's coming back, he's folks who, what about the tower of space that in the other, did you think you think washington is going to this administration is going to get along with beijing or are they going to be at loggerheads as well? trump is a maverick, if anything she did voice his willingness to meet with both president boynton and present. she can be so we, we, we have to see how that will play out. you know, confucius says less than to one's words by watch their action will find out soon. yeah. great comments about how this discussion right here with all to contribute college are always a pleasure. thank you carl. thank you. i thank you for joining us here for this

program live from moscow. i'm real research i the username here, getting older stories lined up for the next hour. so you can stick around the 1914 the world war one. that's the military conflict. gradually in gulf facility and the 59 independent states and 60 population, the
