also i noticed was that some of the we waited for you for so long. we didn't leave it at 1st because there were incidents where they would change clothes and kill people in basement. the premiums who else civilians. and then going back to the rock of a date down, the 12 for teeth committed, the whole russian forces for the area of corresponded report was exclusively from the ground. and the way to the bank to run by must go up the g. fluids. the proposed renee was by rushing plus a wasted on bush this toward this multi media in west and supplied all my personal car. at least goes it cut off. this has to did

somehow, diplomatically. i just don't think it's realistic to say we're going to expel every russian for every interview. pregnancy, oil awake on cold p f. as donald trump national security advisor tells you, afraid to accept reality. on announcing trans told between the incoming us president asked lot of at the plus a slovak solomon to read delegation comes to most today for to, to get russian gas flowing to the e. u. again, because of the ukraine, shutting down the transit system. you are p and politicians, cry foul of the continent fire with it. and if you try to put it very clearly, once again, the sanctions have nothing to do with morality and they have nothing to do with human rights. they have nothing to do with mind. they are simply an economic stimulus program for the us economy. the

is very welcome to you. this is all the international with the world news update is great to have you with us. so if it ends up being safely evacuated deeper into russia from a cape front line going by city. taken by most goes troops, some citizens of colorado because i did quite the now full, the ukrainian occupation, as normal as so many atrocities, policies more against the of them that with russian troops are freed. this is a, is the 1st international corresponded. we're posting from the ground, the cds. early morning. we are on roof to put rocks about. lock is on our side. the

. it is warm 5 degrees, which means a fee during the plaza. oh, and you drove the tool. condensation will very quickly blow the camera. so with this incredible, you have to sit outside of a credit because the most i briefly where are we and what's the situation to deal with my quote, if you could have them. we are in colorado, the, the situation is stands most stable. so don't bunch. how it's gorgeous dunn's bunch of stretched out to school just as they'll take them. i said if something happens to you, most high is battalion, come on the faith gods brigade. 51st man. he and his units took good off of it was a brutal yet unexpectedly quick victory. now he's charged with

safeguarding and marshaling deluca folk who there are too many. all right say hello, please. where could i charge my phone? i saw the generator, but i don't know the weight to the basement, but we'll come inside and go right here. yes. we've heard what. how are you holding up? young lady, young lady, for no old woman. no, you're a young lady. oh boys. how are you holding up? we're managing boys. we're managing these is the results of an attempt to ukrainian counselors, how they mess with that bush or normal p g launched, a rocket propelled grenade was by russian finds a way secret on bush destroyed. this multi median west and supplied almost personnel, carrier. and these are those of, you know, of

a cut off your goals and repeated and attempted cause of attacks by you create in forces. what you call one of our groups gaming quiet during the night and then set up to enter things mind 12 percent. the car workshop in the morning, the enemy decided to carry out or taishan. we woke up to the scene, 200 maces down the road. another german made mazda ahmed personnel carrier as i'm the long side the all my account was cool to sit in camouflage abandoned by ukraine's retreating. and there are many, many apologies. listen, whatever. crossover both ease of you, kate in soldiers abandoned here by the retreating comrades. they are being collected, the situation is much calmer than usually ease off of the captive big

city. it is year and the com. the city again is unexpectedly who we are currently less than ours. walk away from ukrainian positions you crate in phone spaces, the red zoom as we were told the danger zone. but what is spending ease? this doesn't feel like the red zone. it doesn't feel like the ukrainians are mia? our way we have seen baffled fields and cities. what move from are you able to walk with martin guitar 2 days ago and it is never looked like face the entire city is virtually intact, other than broken windows and busted roofs. everything else could be easily repaired. it is a testament to how you premium resistance as we could,

that ukraine's army has lost potency. is new secrets, russian forces and now far beyond the city, pushing further and further ahead. morale is high level the ball. my call sign is to bowl. everyone here knows me. we gave those developing and we're off again and then we're going forward. rise, stay strong boys. but the other surprises how many civilians choose to remain in garasco, but to risk it more and the wave sort of russian troops i've done, it was just we waited for you for so long. the soldiers told us not to close our windows that they'd come soon. we didn't believe it at 1st because there were incidents where they would change clothes and kill people and basements, and apartments who would kill them, hopefully the ukrainians. who else? what do you mean? killed how i would just like that. we would think they were russian soldiers. we

would go out to hug them as we waited for you for so long. we were so happy that you came here. so it was revenge. yes. they shot at people because we were waiting for russia to moves for 1000 people near enough foreclosure of the population. choose the risk if in stay include rock of a to being greed russian troops. it is a standing figure, given the research. yes. now, all of them have horror stories. they will describe the have in the views, software the hands of you create the improve the idea able to do what do you that they would come into apartments and execute people. they would throw grenades into our chimney, this, you couldn't go outside, they'd get you withdraw. and if you went outside to throw out the trash, they would always be someone killed and injured. if you tried to get to the bodies,

they'd shoot you right there. what is it? the father and son were walking down our street and the father was killed. they then hit his body several more times. they wouldn't let anyone get close, you know, they didn't care if it was an old woman, old man, a woman or someone disabled. they shot us off like hairs. goodness really, really good sites for what the other store for was because we are traitors because we were waiting for russia, but they wouldn't even give us aid. some volunteers wanted to bring us food, but may or told them that we're traitors, that we shouldn't be sad, not system losing their would not see zone and they were obvious nazi. so how could you tell the solve this? they'd be tattooed up the next service they'd have to process and chevron, they sold them openly and the market aside from the swastikas. they also had feagles with the ukranian trident in the middle of the source to get what was that normal cook? how could it be normal? normal, how the sold them openly at the market. they will be new,

more swastikas, nazi symbols sold input ok of its future has changed. and the coming months, many more ukrainian towns and cities will be the knots of fide and cleared up zillow skis to a regime. the tables to many of the 2 people. what you crave, hold the ford for a city of cut off. come up, fell in badly a month. the city was completely unprepared for defense. and the flight that you credit and pulled up was nothing close to what we have put up before fluoride gas via of the from good rock of then the people's republic. the situation on the ground and ukraine has been acknowledged by yet another trump team official. but designated us national security advisor has

a key of to forget about basing most go on the bustle field. that's as michael was announced, an upcoming phone call, followed by a face to face meeting between donald trump unblocked my person. everybody knows that this has to end somehow diplomatically. i just don't think it's realistic to say we're going to expel every russian from every entry of ukrainian soil even cried me a president, trump has acknowledged that reality. and i think it's been a huge step forward that the entire world is acknowledging that reality when interesting enough. he's also now dismissed beside did that the whole conflict could be result within 24 hours. that was something we heard at from pre election, stating over front of my quotes and others. now saying, look, that's not going to happen. this is gonna be something that is a bit more attractive, not, not because they need to get the 2 sides together. however, he admitted did not in speed that for the very 1st time,

zalinski is now pretty much backed into a cool now. and as a result of that because time is running out on the battlefield. few, quite all of those losses that we've seen over the last few months at that zalinski is now ready to work to find the solution at the same time. we also know that the trump administration coming in and most go on talking about potential tool, cuz that's possibly a telephone call is we heard that it could be a meeting face to face. and interestingly enough, we know that might waltz has previously talked about, the pressure being put on both sides. so on the one side, st, you quite look, you need to sort out what's going on, need to come to a compromise, a window open to support you. on the other hand, they've also suggested small scope. so then less most go turns up with indigo chasing people in is also willing to find some sort of compromise that the americans and the don't come would continue to all of these claims on them to the hills. but the big issue here, and this is something that will lead you to in, not in to be that you've just given is money, power,

money. how issue plan is one that we've had phone for? no, but as being proper plastic votes admitted that without having soldiers the, the boots on the climbed doesn't matter how many weapons, how much money you send to you quaint, it's simply cold when and i will say, you know, the other thing that we're going to need to see is really stabilizing things on the battlefield. and one of the things that will be asking of the ukrainians is they have real manpower issues. you know, they're drafted right now is 26 years old. not 18. i don't think a lot of people realize that they can generate hundreds of thousands of new soldiers. so when we hear about morale problems, when we hear about issues on the front line, look, if the paintings have asked the entire world to be all in for democracy, we need them to be all in for democracy. and i saw the 1st time with head calls

from washington as the key of to lower the mobilization age, but that was on the side. and now we're hearing the same from the trump team. so what does that spells the situation? well, i think it's quite clear, i mean, the usa, regardless of who is in control, knows that the big issue queen has, is this manpower she and it's one we've discussed so many times because, you know, we have had reports that have been something like 100000 ukraine and so just deserted that posts we keep hearing these stories just in the last week. i think we heard about us, so just of ukraine who training in paris and may when a will may call be found. this is becomes such a problem. we know that guns are having to go out in the streets now to try and catch the men who are not wanting to be mobilized those within the current mobilization age. and this has been a massive issue, a new quite so much so that last time they created this so called a low. and this basically allows sold us to this once. and then if they say, oh,

sorry, we'll come back, they will be prosecuted and some upset that even gave. so just calling folks to discuss it 1st time month anyway. so yes, huge issues, manpower, and it's clear regardless who is going to be in the white house at ukraine, will have to address that and get the line from key if has been. that's not the way . so lensky is personally against lowering the mobilization age any further. so what kind of reaction you get, we might expect to these latest messages in washington. so that's why. so when we heard back and you tell them that washington wanted ukraine to lower the mobilization age, as you said, that's a lot to me. so that's good enough. as the said, no, no, natalie, we're not doing this. we now him this again, from the meetings that comes between stations to come in, and i think we're going to see some resistance to that as well. now we have had the former ukrainian for administer talking about that reduction in age and he has this may say that it is likely to happen, but not all the way down to 18. he said that that would just be too much for many

ukrainians to, to suffer, and that they would be a huge outcry in the country if it was low, it straight the way down to 18. however, he did say that the person who knew who was being particularly happy if that was the case. and that's his 18 year old son who is jumping up a bit to foster parent. and i think the only the only person that wouldn't be happy was going down to 18 would be my son who's, who's 18 years old. and he wants if he wants to fight, does he is yeah, he's taking military classes. and so i, i barely convinced him to continue with his studies at the university at this point . so collab of the saying, but he was the one that's trying to keep his son from fighting. very interesting when you've got games going around. he knows of literally kids nothing mental the streets in ukraine saying it's desperate. so just we've got a form of for administer who sits down any wisdom of last year to himself is not fighting for ukraine and his trying to prevent his own son from doing exactly the

same. and very, very strange, especially considering that it was true level who has previously stated that aim for ukraine and would be prepared to be fighting on the front lines with shuffles that they couldn't get weapons from the west. and hey, we see that she's still nothing. now let me fatigue, she's still not on the front line, not as action tools, some criticism he in russia collect, but who once promised to fight with trench and shovels overcame his desire to go to the trenches and left to the u. s. and he barely talked to son who wanted to find out a bit and sent him to study in london instead. and now speaking from the us, he says, ukrainians have to be mobilized from the age of 18. that's what the currents ukrainian elite is all about. they want their country and their people to pay for their well being. but they want to leave very differently themselves. when he might be wondering what he is doing, he has just been appointed as an associate professor at science ponied invest in

paris. they had that's the spring to teach classes. so it looks like the man who went said that for ukraine and would be prepared to fight for his country is of mine. who certainly is that a group of cdl low americans, once of vanka, are in moscow for several days of crucial talks about pushing for deal to restart wash and gas expos to the u. you country, that's off the kids. so full transit through ukraine, based on west of the states and not happy about the prospect says on. so you contribute to rachel, lost an expense. as soon as i came, delegation arrived in moscow over the weekend to talk about the obvious question of how or if they can keep getting cheap for us and gas. now that ukraine has turned off the top on the pipeline that runs across the country and into europe, vayas little backyard. and getting to moscow apparently wasn't even straightforward . one of the delegation she's dyslexia and by speaker andre danco says that poland

wouldn't let this download you countries delegation fly over its territory. because while the was just one big kindergarten class in poland is apparently the self appointed hall monitor. so this will vacuum plane. how do we had west on that ariel scenic tour of germany and the czech republic all the way around hole in just to then go north and then east to russia, a real dream for frequent flyer point collectors. anyway, the group of law makers is now in town to meet with russian parliamentary representatives, ministers, and also gas problem. clearly hoping that there's a solution here somewhere because the e u seems to have totally lost control of it. spoiled, foster child ukraine. the european commission asked us to participate in a working group with slovak. yeah. to find the solution. and it said, no, we're good. seems like the solution actually would have been to just not back key

of in shutting off the gas top in the 1st place and the you do the exact opposite of that, sharing it on especially since it was, it's really a good thing for you freight either i mean, it was really the only pain job that zalinski had and he didn't even have to get out of his job is to do it as we've seen it every single day for the past few years . now ukraine is now losing $800000000.00 euros in transit fees that the west well now have to make, of course, because zaleski just couldn't sit there and watch gas transit and collect money from russia. but no problem says money goes on trees, right? or rather, on the cash interest of western health, russian assets that can just be stolen. his shining moment for market capitalism there. so back in president peter pelligrini says that because kia can't be bothered to show up at the you to work all of the so then he can't be bothered

going to ukraine for a plan trip. either those people out here in a situation where the ukranian government of the ukrainian president decided to cut off our gas supply and refuses to transit it as low vakio. that's fundamentally threatening really the energy security of slovakia. and in a situation where the ukrainian parliament passes the law that is supposed to prohibit the transport of oil as well to slovakia, let's say we have a valid contract. so under such circumstances, my trip to ukraine is out of the question. at the moment. if i have to go there just to take a picture and they tell me that not a drop of oil or a cubic meter of gas is going to go to slovakia. i really don't need to go there and foot. cool. so the foster kid just does whatever he wants, and some of the other kids in the big dysfunctional you, family seem pretty fed up with it. this lack in prime minister robert feet. so sounds like he's tired of keeping up appearances and watch queen ursula and the you do you start kennedy note spicy high fives, t zalinski little backside can. yes,

i'm not sure. but i'm not here to hold hands with present savanski in dollars minutes. i'm sick of him, sometimes he's going around to europe just begging and like met and all the people asking for money. this has got to stop. the squadron single also said that the doesn't seem to grasp the quote for portion of slovaks. citizens were beginning to have a negative attitude towards the you. so what he's saying there is that the lack of energy and the rising price from this tap shut off will leave slip back in icy cold all in more ways than once. and the hungry has also raised the issue of the use insistence on digging holes for itself to then just fall into the ground to follow specially outgoing presidential administration which suffered a heavy defeat in the us presidential election has recently implemented a new package of sanctions on the energy sector, this package of sanctions has once again been imposed on central europe. here in central europe, we face the challenge. it is that the amount of crude oil coming into the region

will decrease. so the fuel market is facing challenges. this means that less oil can be processed in the region, so there will be a much greater demand for finished refined fuel in the region, petrol and diesel. so the sanctions now being imposed on the energy sector by the outgoing us administration could lead to a serious fuel price increase in central europe. meanwhile, the, by the ministration on its way out, the door has just sanction serbia's only oil refinery, which just happens to be russian gas problem controlled. sounds like they just might need more pricey shipped american alan gee, now like the rest of europe. it's like when someone's tires get slashed and sons, she do just happens to be there to sell you some new ones. or when germany's nord stream pipeline gets mysteriously bombed after bite and uses about it aloud, right beside german jazz are all actual at the white house. and all luck, american elegy is just all ready to ship to europe. germany's right wing a f

d party leader says she wants to reverse course on that one in the event of a february parliamentary election. when we advance we will put nord stream back into operation and you can count on that. we have already drafted many of the necessary laws and introduce them in parliament. all other factions have rejected them. i can tell you that when we are at the home, we will tear down all those wind turbines, those windmills of shame. and the populace left in germany also is seeking a very similar to hold on. so my guns start to put it very clearly. once again, the sanctions have nothing to do with morality. they have nothing to do with human rights. they have nothing to do with love of peace. they are simply an economic stimulus program for the us economy. and the killer program for german and european company is quite simply a killer program for our company. that has to be said clearly. and they also have a very clear purpose. the purpose is to increase the united states share of global

value creation again at the expense of germany and at the expense of your on via truck. that's what it's all about. so if the americans tell us gas at competitive prices, yes, please want then i think we should also by our gas from the americans, but not at 3 times the price of what american companies pay in the usa. and please, also not at 3 times the price of what we would get delivered here in europe, from russia. so all the e u is trying to publicly put on a sho in support of ukraine. in reality, it's important. russian gas or heating record highs. that gas has just be laundered through intermediary countries with europeans paying for the markup. a virtue signaling tax, if you will, the average european is funding this whole charade. so the, you can keep drooling over zalinski wells and keeps bagging them for more cash and goods. like he's the contestant on

a rig game show where every single answer is yes. as well in science, ravage southern california, the death toll has risen to 24 with dozens more reported missing gusty winds and making it hard for us emergency forces to contain them on saturdays or authorities say 16 people died to the 8th and area off los angeles with another's 8 victims, concerns and policies as well. the $12000.00 strong shows, including many himes owned by hollywood, stalls as being destroyed the unprecedented dissolves, to as opposed to the inflicted move in a $150000000000.00 worth of damage. critics awesome on big accounts, ability with some in california is golfing. i'm guessing newsome to resign is my 12 here several but if you'd like more details on base story and everything else to head to our website o t dot com, that's all for me for today. rachel, we but we'll be with you at the top of the

same. ron just don't safe house to come after 10 and engagement equals the trail. when so many fund themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. the, the russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community best most i'll

send, send up the same assistance, must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on russia cruising and split the r t sports net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services for the question, did you say a request for check the

welcome across the bull horns, were all things are considered on people about who would have thought greenwood would be close to the top of the drum foreign policy agenda, summer, calling it the new imperialism with a copy of this includes looting america's allies. also what is behind the laws? must war on europe to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, george samuel l. e. in budapest, he's a pod cast or in the guy go, which be found on youtube and locals and assemble. we have that a serial amount, excusing historian and political commentator by gentlemen cross that girls in effect, that means can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. all right, let's kick this off with george george. i mean, considering all the things we've heard from the trunk, big incoming trump administration, particularly greenland, and that's kind of a rubric for a much more or boisterous, uh, uh, anomalous approach to foreign policy that we've seen politically since the new polar moment. i guess you could argue that there is no real difference as just the

way it's being framed right now. but, you know, it does kind of harking back to great power politics, which critics of the bike administration is a wears. all the real is and we need more real is an american foreign policy. well, this is part of realism. it's not like it, but it is kind of a return to that george going. i agree entirely. and i think of the consequences will probably be um, noteworthy. um trump has always had a southern hankering for great power politics. i think he's, he has looked for as a model. this was the 19th century imperialism, image great powers. acquire a new territory, acquire a new spheres of influence that they regard subordinate powers as you're required to follow the lead of the great powers. and essentially this means that it's the national interest.
