in relations how russia and the usa were friends flutter like a butterfly, sorry like a bee iranian drones materials of our program. as the international crisis deepens, the main line of tension crystallizes clearly moscow washington as it was said in the advertising of the era of primitive accumulation, with all the richness of the choice of another alternative, no, our relationship has gone through different turns in distant history, let's not go take the past 100 years, but the full fifties maktism or the reagan evil empire in the early eighties is a worm dangerous frontier, sixties or intervention during the russian civil war and the isolation of soviet russia in the twenties on the other hand, a successful and instructive resolution of the caribbean crisis, which, by the way,
10:07 am
began to unwind exactly 60 years ago in the summer of the sixty-second détente in the seventies. almost fraternization, in the late eighties, not to mention the most, perhaps, fruitful moment of cooperation between the presidency of franklin dellan roosevelt, stalin began to establish relations with roosevelt at the very beginning of the thirties, the second stalinist five-year plan has been going on in the ussr on behalf of soviet russia in the usa since the twenties operates the soviet trading society, amtorg, its main task is the export of american technology and specialists. for this the favor of the government is needed and the first thing that the result did. as soon as he came to power in the thirty-third year, he recognized the ussr and established diplomatic relations. to establish them, they used every opportunity, having learned that stalin loves american packards. roosevelt gives him in 1935, a chic armored model on the cards

across the pole. now it is one of the most expensive brands in the world before the start of the relationship war. so strong that washington is ready to connect the union to the land lisa program already in the fortieth year, the accession of the baltic states prevented this step in the white house, they did not understand the contract for the supply of b-25 bombers. or produce in the ussr under license, however, after the entry of both countries into the war, relations return to the previous level roosevelts are ready to open the second front. the topic is discussed at a conference in tehran in the forty- third year, it is noteworthy that roosevel is not located in the american, but in the soviet embassy, then both stalinist leaders roosevelt actively promoted the idea of a second front, it is in europe that churchill rests and offers an alternative to the landing or in the balkans roosevelt declares that, if the church does not agree to land in continental europe, then all american troops will go to the pacific ocean
10:10 am
in the summer of 1944, allies landing in normandy, but there was also a counter promise in yalta, stalin confirmed that the ussr would go to war with japan 3 months after the end of the war in europe. he fulfills the promise on august 8 , the manchurian operation of the red begins. already on september 2, japan was defeated, but roosevelt did not witness these events, like the victory over germany, he died on april 12, 1945, the american president became harry truman in the history of russian american relations there is no irreversibility, every crisis is replaced by a thaw. but there are inescapable cyclicalities. the thaw does not grow into a new quality of cooperation, but generates a new confrontation. the last 35 years has been demonstrating. this is especially evident at the turn of the
10:11 am
eighties and nineties, the pendulum swung so far towards sugary harmony that now it has just as sharply gone to the opposite sparkling explosiveness. russia has finally made a choice in favor of a civilization of common sense of universal human experience, i am convinced that our people will definitely master this difficult path there is no one in the world a people who would be harmed the air of freedom and this rule has no exceptions today freely democratic russia extends its hand of friendship to the american people by the will of the people of russia, i invite you and your person to the people of the united states to embark on the path of partnership in the name of freedom and justice in the 21st century.
10:12 am
yes, for those who don’t remember, that time it’s hard to believe that this is not a fashionable deepfake, but a genuine speech by the president of russia in the us congress 30 years by historical standards, not so long ago we invited russian american relations talk to our reliable comrade and good friend ivan saranchuk. ivan alekseevich has the talent to stay on course in world chaos, using the science of international relations as a compass. ivan hi good afternoon. you and i
10:13 am
have been discussing russian-american relations for 15 years. it has always been distinguished by the ability to find the right metaphor. there, sail in different boats in the same direction and so on metaphors. it changes all the time. now, if you try to sum up some constants, there is, uh, in the american policy towards russia there is not to take the last 10 or 15 years. here is a longer perspective. probably in the longer term, the most, uh, constant constant is that russia for america is something else. that is, it’s definitely not a part of e, of its own, not a part of its own, like, for example, europe became its e, japan well, or other powers defeated in world war ii, but russia. this is something else. and we probably
10:14 am
were not doomed to it. it seems to me that at first it happened, by accident. just when america came out on the world stage came out of isolation russia in russia there was a revolution america came out of isolation itself self-isolation, yes, and self-isolation. moreover, she came out of self-isolation as a very energetic industrial power, which, uh, approached the cap analysis in colonial u, ahead of or and, respectively, for it. uh, the opening of markets did not go through colonialism, but through the fight against colonialism. and at that time we made a revolution. e over themselves and became for a significant part of the world completely different strange incomprehensible. and here it kind of fits together. we present two different ideological alternatives, but the united
10:15 am
states, on the basis of its exceptionalism and its own ideas about exceptionalism , believes that its task is to lead the whole world to some kind of bright future. and they are trying to bring this world to a brighter future based on their own idea that there should be some kind of common denominator should be universation, well, universalization. naturally american style. still, at the heart of our idea of ourselves about the world is e, the concept is close, but completely different, as paradoxical as it is uniqueness. we believe that we are not like others, this does not mean that we are better than others or that we are worse than others. mom says i'm special. yes, we are different and we believe that others also have uniqueness and accordingly. our task. this is how it somehow happened to fight with those who want to
10:16 am
bring everyone to a common denominator. and now, this is, uh, not something that is not a struggle based on practical interests. this is something ideological, but not ideological in the sense that it was in the years cold war, when on the one hand capitalism on the other hand. uh, communism is very interesting, because in that case from this point of view. what happened there 30 years ago is perceived in a completely different way. in my opinion. we have now reminded our viewers of the famous speech of boris nikolayevich yeltsin in the american congress at exactly 30. back in the summer of 1992 , where it was just, well, just a complete opening of the merger of fraternization and stuff in the early nineties and you are wonderful. do you still remember dominated not only the idealism towards the west in the perception of the west although it was also we looked at the west through rose-colored glasses. but still, if you look even at the concept of 1993, the
10:17 am
concept of foreign policy in january 1993 . there, a lot of pragmatism spoke of itself, it was believed that here is communism and all the communist dogma, which was significant for russia for soviet foreign policy. it takes us away from our practical interests, so the idea was to get rid of this dogmatists and move on to practical yeltsin actually spoke about this in this speech. yes, yes, and in this sense it is not quite idealism. and what was the delusion delusion was that, it is very good, by the way it is written in the book. yeltsin, uh, in the first person, uh, 1994, there is uh, it seems to me a very important moment where it is said that russia wants to return home to its own people in the west. and there even, in my opinion, these are actually quotes. if you want an entente, here is sometime from the
10:18 am
entente. uh, so they fell out. well, from this western community. and now we want to return it. this is wonderful, considering that when we dropped out of the entente, they carried out this intervention for us here. in general, for the second time, about an attempt to return somewhere in our history to that fork where, as we thought, we turned the wrong way, it turned out that when we were yeltsins or there, kozyrev went out to his own and took away their sword and put on your knees. in general, they turned out to be not very much their own. interesting, because it turns out that we are now there 30 years later. we, again, seem to have come to the conclusion that we went to the wrong place and we need to return somewhere to ourselves, because, again, this is just to ourselves, now to another place. only we already understand ourselves in a different way , now we understand ourselves in a different way, but in the
10:19 am
west during this time it also happened. eh, it happened. uh, some transformation of their views. now, if e i said that the first constant is that we are perceived as completely different, who can become their own only if they stop being themselves , so it turned out that our entry price in uh to the west is that we are no longer we. in general, in general, it must be said that western civilization is generally very bad. ah, integrate. er in themselves others, and unlike some others, who actually attach large pieces and somehow uh give them the same rights. like uh, like yourself, but the most successful examples of integration into the west that have always been extolled there in japan, uh germany - this is integration through military defeat through a complete rejection of oneself. we
10:20 am
didn't and won't go for it. eh, there is a question. this does it mean that we are doomed to an absolutely irreconcilable conflict, or maybe it's normal there? the main thing is that there is no war. before i say it. i wanted uh. i began to talk about what happened from the transformation over these 30 years ago. here is the perception of ours as others, but decades during the years of the cold war. and probably, since the thirties , we were perceived as significant. because it was clear that the country that did this to itself remained alive, ruled forced industrialization at an incredible cost, then won war sent the first man into space and so on. you can't ignore this, it's different, but it's really significant, uh, different, a over the past 30 years. uh, a generation has grown up in the west
10:21 am
of those who have inherited that constant, that we are different, but have lost the constant that we are significant others. they even have a fight. not so much with us. how much of our importance they want, relatively speaking, to drive us under the plinth. probably if we, uh, remained a significant other for the united states, and our relations would be different now others. uh, but now we have to go through this stage where they try not to even fight us. they're trying to turn us into a historic scrap. yes, i say all the time that it is undesirable for us, it seems to me, to enter a long e stage that we are against america, we need to win back world astrakhanism without
10:22 am
america, because we put our fate on fighting this giant, and sometimes quite brainless. e giant. it seems to me that we should not, we need to do this to the extent that we it is necessary, so to speak, to tear off their hands from yes, but it’s just to put fate on the fight against america, the historical fate of russia it seems to me that this is wrong. it seems to me that we need to come up with a formula of relations that we want to live without america, and not against america, and there are many people in the world who want the same thing, by the way, now brix is suddenly actively talking about expansion. in fact, he is here, if all these talks are true, whoever wants to somehow join, it turns out brix is such a twenty without the west, there were two big factions. this is brix a five and e, west
10:23 am
seven. by the way, i would also emphasize that one faction is basically the faction of the colonialists. and here, and the second faction is those who either were large colonies, or never became a colony. eh, well, in general, i experienced it myself. so let's say anger, uh, colonialists and partly was uh, was under occupation. well, i remembered that after the revolution there were still foreign troops on our territory. e troops, entente. uh, china also surrendered significant territories at the end foreigners. well, it cannot be said that in its purest form, that this is a fraction of the former colonies, after all, china and russia were not colonies of anyone, but this is a fraction of those who experienced it. what is colonialism and what is it like to deal with colonizers. here, too, i
10:24 am
think, should not be forgotten. it is somewhere in the core of these two factions and brick has become a fairly effective faction in the top twenty. and now e that faction is clearly experiencing problems, and the brix faction, er, is expanding and, in general, if it includes. all other members twenty, except for the big seven, then, in general, the big seven is no longer needed in the same way that the big twenty will be the big thirteen. this is also good. and although they are still adding iran there. so there will be more. uh, no it will. uh. i think we can get to 15 plus a good number. yes, thank you very much ivan saranchuk was with us. after the commercial, we will continue to discuss american politics. now in the context of the middle east, don't walk away.

10:27 am
i want to quickly switch to megafon, the number one operator in terms of internet speed and coverage. megafon biden made a trip to the near one. east israel palestinian territories communication with the leaders of the arab states of the persian gulf the visit is not for show, there have been fairly accumulated problems in relations with the region, which has always played a special role, but in the context of the global security crisis, another political upheaval in israel sharply adds importance, parliamentary elections are coming again, the fourth for 2 5 years,
10:28 am
biden is received by the interim prime minister yair, lapid, another interlocutor, benjamin, netanyahu, the former head of the cabinet, who intends to become the future of italy, frankly sympathized trump. so, in a conversation of warmth, a meeting with the leadership of saudi arabia, or rather with the country's de facto ruler, crown prince mohammed ben salman, is not much more important. crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin salman is a self- motivated ambitious and charismatic member of the new generation of the royal family, he was born in the eighty-fifth year from the third wife of his father the current king of saudi arabia studied in his homeland and received his degree, bachelor in law career began in 2009, when he was appointed special adviser to his father's then provincial governor. riyadh after her parents ascended the throne in 2015. mohammed became minister of defense and chaired
10:29 am
the economic and development council, the main body of economic planning. experts believe that it was he who made the decision to participate in the civil war of the time and was the initiator of the severance of diplomatic relations with the boat in april 2016 mohammed was salman outlined the program of economic modernization, the introduction of 2030, in fact. these are plans for economic reforms to the goal which the diversification of the country's economy and the reduction of its dependence on oil, according to the crown prince of saudi arabia, has three sources of strength that are beyond competition, first, it is islam. there are two main shrines for muslims - mosques in mecca and medina . muslims make the hajj pilgrimage to mecca , this is the main event in the life of every muslim, secondly, saudi arabia has huge investment opportunities and finally.
10:30 am
thirdly. she has a unique geographical position, the prince also explained that the kingdom act as a conduit for a real moderate islam incompatible with what iran offers al-qaeda and the islamic state group. biden publicly and more than once declared ben salman an outcast, with whom decent people cannot communicate, the reason for the murder of a saudi opposition publicist, in whose organization the american intelligence services. they definitely blamed the crown prince. saudi dissident jamal khashoggi was the nephew of the famous saudi billionaire one nahashoki, he studied in the usa and graduated from the university indiana was engaged in journalism, and in 2007 he became the editor-in-chief of the saudi alvator newspaper, however, he was soon removed from this post and
10:31 am
journalists were excommunicated for criticizing the authorities and personally crown prince mohammed ben salman in 2017. jamal khashoggi emigrated to the united states and became a newspaper columnist in the washington post he continued to criticize the domestic and foreign policy of the kingdom on october 2, 2018, entered the building of the consulate of saudi arabia in istanbul to file a divorce and did not come out of power then the saudis said the khashoggi left the consulate building through a different exit into the case. turkish police intervened 20 days later, the media reported that a dismembered body was found in a well in the garden of the residence of the consul of saudi arabia, five hundred meters from the consulate itself. at the same time, an american intelligence report appeared, in which the blame for the murder was placed personally on the crown prince of the kingdom, mohammed ben salman. it was reported that the liquidation team that arrived in
10:32 am
istanbul was led by saut al-qaktani, who was personally subordinate to the crown prince, and the current president biden himself during the election campaign said that he would treat saudi arabia as an outcast on february 26 this year, the us state department published a new statement by the secretary of state, blinkin, about responsibility for the murder of hashoki, like previous state department documents , in it spoke of the imposition of sanctions by the biden administration on 76 subjects of the kingdom, but the name of the prince's crowns did not appear in the text. staying at the height of moral principles did not work out saudi arabia is very needed, as a key player in the oil market, the majority in the democratic party stigmatizes biden for conciliation, and the white house protocol broke his head how to arrange everything so that the president did not shake hands with ben salmanov. artist
10:33 am
white hangdelsman imagines biden's visit to saudi arabia as an ultra-liberal view of events, on the right is crown prince mohammed ben salman, on the left is obviously biden and an adviser. sir says. this is oil. harry warrell with a conservative version of america on her knees again before guardians. well listen man. says a man who looks like a biden. i need your oil because i'm shutting down my oil pipelines. in that steglich with an illustration of biden's actions, there is a clear reference to pearl harbor and the beginning of world war ii . american energy is written on the ships, and on the plane the emblem of the us democratic party is a classic of the genre from michael ramirez. who is to blame for everything the headline reads turning energy into a weapon on the hose, of course, it is written russia at the reception of prince ben salman, a drawing of chips. first
10:34 am
in line is phil mickelson, a golfer who has spoken rude things about the saudi golf league and has already apologized . especially if biden's trips, we will discuss with an excellent specialist in the region nikolai surkov , leading news officer of the imo of the russian academy of sciences, canes nikolai, if you try to somehow generalize biden's visit to the region, what did he want there? why did he come biden he came primarily to e thaw in his relationship with strange regions, because almost all e in this region. and frankly, it was frightening that america wants to reduce its primarily military presence there, of course, it is too early to talk about a complete withdrawal. it would probably be a dream for
10:35 am
someone, but this is not how the military base remains. just not on the scale that we observed 10-15 years ago, so we need to demonstrate that america remains an important player in the region, that it is ready to defend its allies. and who only worries everyone problems. the restaurant has three aspects, it is a nuclear program. these are ballistic missiles and attack drones. and the most important thing, in fact, is iran's regional policy as a whole, because they all believe that iran is pursuing a policy of expansion and are trying to resist it. but after all , the regional ally liked trump very much precisely because he declared iran, which means, uh, the main thing is that he tore up the treaty as a danger, and so on , the biden, it seems, wants the opposite, how it is linked. that's with relationships by the bay, eh biden is really trying to sit on two chairs. this is a very true observation, because
10:36 am
on the one hand. he wants to appease the arabs on the other side. he is trying to maintain a certain course for the restoration of the coincidence, how can he succeed in this incomprehensibly? and, because the only thing he relies on. oh, it already sounded in his speech at the time of arrival in israel that we will provide you with qualitative superiority? yeah, we'll help you create a regional missile defense system. we will help you create regional air defense system will be with you, israel is an important point. and i think, that's exactly what he wants to rely on, uh, returning to the topic of saudi arabia, but we know the formal reason, because of which relations cooled down very much precisely during the baydan. these are the murders of an oppositionist, but apart from that, we got used a decade before to the fact that the relationship between saudi arabia and the united states is based on the most powerful foundation of very, as it were, specific interests. and now the impression
10:37 am
that these interests, on the one hand, do not seem to have disappeared, on the other hand, they do not work, how is the protection of good relations? why what has changed they work? actually? hmm, there is no need to try to exaggerate the frictions that they are, they are really annoying, and there is a whole range of problems. in fact, there is even a personal fact. we have uh relations between leaders. well, in the middle east it's always important. for example, vladimir putin uses this very well. yes, he had an excellent relationship with erdogan great relationship, if that's what mohammed salmad, uh, is great about, which is not the case between the us and saudi arabia, for example, but that's different. and if you look, and in an interview given by mohammed salman, he directly said that america is a strategic ally, he does not call any other country that. well, except for the immediate neighbors, but america is a strategic ally. midbensalman said
10:38 am
that at 90%, uh, the bilateral agenda, it is without problems, that is, there are 10%. but what are these 10% the devil is in the details 10% is meddling in the internal affairs of saudi arabia. that is, it is a criticism of the issue of minority women there. this is uh, as the saudis believe, and the propaganda campaign that is being waged against them in the united states is actually theirs. this is very annoying to the americans. here, in order to fill the vacuum that may appear in the middle east, they need some kind of regional alliance, similar to nato but in the middle east context, and in order to create it, they need cooperation between the arabs and israel, but cooperation between arabs and israel is impossible. here, on the required scale, without at least some compromise on the ballestine issue. that's why biden goes, he e- comes to palestine. he meets with palestinians. he resumes assistance. that
10:39 am
is, it shows that the peace process is ongoing . and it gives formally. and the possibility of the same saudi arabia to say that yes, israel is a completely handshake partner. can we cooperate with him? well, there's one more to come. important meeting in the region, next week in tehran. the so-called otstanin format is being met. putin and erdogan are going to the president of iran, and syria is understandable in the spotlight. we have now begun to hear less about syria, it is clear that the world 's attention. it means that it has gone a little bit to other places, but nevertheless, firstly, what is happening there. secondly, whether this rather unique interaction that developed in the triangle a couple of years ago works, in general, the situation is relatively stable is another matter that still very strong, the impact is exerted by the economic crisis. there is a crisis, a purely climatically terrible drought. few people talk about dust storms, but the population suffers terribly from
10:40 am
all this. that is, uh, well, most importantly, external forces. everyone is practically interested in maintaining the status quo; no one wants a new big war, and the syrians themselves are tired of this. and now they are spending all their energy on finding gas for cooking, on finding money for fuel and for bread. and here are the basic things these turkish promises. now we're going to do the operation. it's a bluff or really something. maybe , i think there might be some very limited operation, because erdogan has already talked about it a lot. well, do absolutely nothing . he can't, especially since he was there. uh, there is a very important point, but there were really attacks by kurdish militants, turkish soldiers were killed for turkish public opinion - this is unacceptable. uh, the relationship to their own servicemen is very reverent there, so somehow it is necessary to punish, but nevertheless, astana is needed. why but where the operation can take place at all , the interests of not even
10:41 am
russia and turkey, but rather turkey and iran, may clash, and all this needs to be discussed so that there is no new big crisis. well then, the last question is probably very important for us. here i am. i don’t communicate very much with my middle eastern colleagues, but nevertheless they are brought and i hear quite often in recent months, when the events in eastern europe take place, fears that russia is completely hmm, concentrating on solving the problem in ukraine, so to speak, e will reduce its presence in the middle east in particular. here in syria, specifically, and this scares many, because, as you say, it is fair that they are satisfied with the status clone, they are afraid of changes that will be uncontrollable. is this really a problem or are they exaggerating. well, uh, it's hard to hide that russia is indeed directing most of its resources to ukraine right now. but judging by what we
10:42 am
see, uh. russian military presence there will remain, because syria - it's not only syria, but, as we say, a certain center of the fight against isis, but since russia is interested in syria in a global context, because no. well, presence- it's just a presence in the eastern mediterranean . this is the base that is needed in order to be able to control the approaches. let's say to the black sea straits. understandable thanks. nikolai surkov was with us as we have already discussed a topic that worries all biden interlocutors in the middle east iran negotiations the so-called nuclear deal froze at a point after which israel's arab monarchies could end definitively. this would be good news. they have always been against the sigeran agreement, they believed that they would become a cover for the continuation of the nuclear weapons program. so the decision of donald trump to bury the deal
10:43 am
4 years ago caused a stir among american allies in the region. biden applause. he promised to return to the agreement. however, here is the case when the exit is much easier than the return entry. iran is active in regional world politics on tuesday in the iranian capital will host a meeting of the astana. the presidents of turkey and russia come to ibrahimuraisi at the highest level events have accumulated significant tension around syria, but there is also the ukrainian issue putin’s bilateral talks may not be a milestone for tehran 43, of course, but still a couple of weeks ago iran officially announced its desire to join the brix which is all more moves towards the g20 without the west a at the september sco summit in samarkand iran join this organization. it is turning into the most powerful structure in eurasia at least in terms of the representation of the most important powers, significant shifts
10:44 am
were stimulated by a special military operation this week, another piece of news related to iran was fired by us national security adviser jake sullivan and, at his suggestion, all the leading american media sounded the alarm. russia buys. iran has a large batch of military drones. and all at once to the ukrainian front. our answer to the beyraktars, so to speak believe it or not the adversary's insinuations are a matter of taste, but the created excitement drew attention to an interesting phenomenon. where? yes, in general, a country that has been under punitive sanctions and constant supervision for more than 40 years has such advanced technologies for details. we turned to the specialist yuri lyamin. his colleagues at the center for analysis of strategy and technology recently published a book. persian bastion yuri so where did iran get such riches, iran began to develop drones during the iran-iraq war?
10:45 am
it gradually became more and more priority with in the face of the fact that just because of the sanctions, he has made it increasingly difficult to acquire a modern one. that is. well, we pilot large combat aircraft, helicopters and so on, but without a drone, which is smaller in size. well, it was easier. uh, serious, so to say, there are vegetables in this, it turned out that the united states was very active in reconnaissance for and the territory of iran. yes , some other countries, just with the help of their drones. many of these drones were shot down or fell into iranian territory and captured, and, accordingly, their technology. they studied it and implemented it one way or another. mq9 ripper or reaper symbol of death is an american shock modular drone equipped with a turboprop engine, its speed is more than 400 km / h, and the ceiling is
10:46 am
13 km. this is a rather large terrorist thunderstorm drone from which the leaders of al-qaeda and the islamic state were destroyed more than once in january 2020 using this weapon. general of the iranian revolutionary guard corps qasem sulimoni was killed. however, two years earlier in 2018 , the iranians said they had several captured american drones and among them mq9. reaper, officially none of them fell in iran, but several were lost in syria, after the commander of the aerospace forces of the islamic revolutionary guard corps, general mir ali haji zodi, did not specify under what circumstances the drone ended up with the iranian military. well said that they will serve as models for the creation of iranian prototypes later in 2020 by the iranians. they even boasted that they could take control of
10:47 am
american drones. two video recordings from cameras were presented as evidence. american reapers in the footage shows the accident of one of them, the first video from a drone that is in distress, and the second from another machine that destroys a faulty drone nonetheless in february last year. iran demonstrated its new command drone, 22 it turned out to be very similar to the american mq9 reaper, but smaller in size, according to the iranian military, the performance characteristics are not inferior to the american prototype of commands 22 can be in the air for a whole day , the mass of the combat load is up to 300 kg for comparison the combat load of the reaper is one and a half tons, but other performance characteristics are american. and its iranian counterpart is really close. here the technology got, so to speak, to look at. at night, then it is necessary
10:48 am
to produce elements, components, chips, where they come from . iran has concentrated its military industry. she can't provide. well, the whole circle of uh weapons technology. well, just for too long in an economy that has been heavily sanctioned by the well, therefore, priority areas have been identified. this is the rocket program. this is just a program for the development of unmanned vehicles and other things, which is trying to ensure maximum import substitution on the other hand. if it is not possible at the moment to make a copy of some part or something else, they all try to get these parts from abroad in these ways, but if we talk about the iranian military-industrial complex as a whole, to what extent, under the conditions of the sanction, are they able to solve the tasks that they themselves face put themselves. well, as i said, they focus on key areas. well, in principle, they have a military-industrial complex in he is very large and occupies a very significant sector of the
10:49 am
economy. that is, in general, where exactly they are trying to create full industrial cycles, that is, if possible, production there, and there, the basic materials there, up to the corresponding finished products, the results are very large, of course, they do not have enough. they have a problem with the creation there, for example, modern, again, such aircraft. there are helicopters for the reason that, well, it is known that the very creation of modern engines there, aviation is large powerful, is very sphere, in which literally a single strange. in general, they can say to do something, and iran, of course, is difficult to compete with the capabilities of the united states, china , russia, just if we talk about the region, what is happening there in these technical areas, the same iran is extremely active in all success others too, if there is an arms race , and what russia can count on already in the new conditions the rich countries of the region still buy it, mostly
10:50 am
american western weapons. these are the arab monarchies. we tried to break into this market last. well, all the last years, but i think that now in the conditions of the current sanctions pressure. it will be very difficult for us right now. well, even to keep those small positions that are there, that is. of course, there are countries that we used to have and still have, for example, fat. that is, of course, it is, of course, not quite the middle east, north africa . that is, it will be from other countries. they are like more pliable under pressure from the united states and more, now even the european union to this plan origin. and we will be in this regard. well, much harder. with regard to, well, there, probably, most of the arab countries, that is, it is now clear that, for example, the same iran, if it is just for him to put pressure on it already. well, he himself
10:51 am
is under the strongest sanctions pressure, he doesn’t care here. what could be a threat. well, this is obvious, but there is another phenomenon, some traditional partners and clients of the united states there, turkey, the emirates of saudi arabia are now demonstrating washington that no one is cooperating with them, with whom they want such a purely political positioning. this may give some additional opportunities for russia right now, right now, most likely, they are just trying not to get angry with the united states right there, that is, there, perhaps when the situation is somewhat, well, it will be discharged or it will drag on there, so would be perceived more calmly there. perhaps this, that is, expansion will begin again, that is, precisely military technical cooperation. but i i think, right now, right now, they will try, how to say, don’t mess around, that is, with all the contradictions that they have, the united states, for the united states now, well,
10:52 am
is it like buying weapons from this from russia? in general, it works like a red rag on a bull, and they really can’t press very hard there. uh pressure elements. they are very strong, that is, countries, for example, like egypt, they receive there, well, large-scale american military assistance. e, s. again , all these countries are big buyers american armaments depend on the supply of american spare parts for ammunition and the like, and this. they, of course, will try not to lose touch with russia, that is. uh, they don't want to be completely dependent on the us again, that is, they will try to keep these, but he says, at the moment. here, most likely, they will not take such measures that will be very angry usa thank you the political diversity of the world is now more and more clearly showing the former relations. even very strong become thinner, new ones arise. and sometimes. they are well-forgotten old ones on a new historical rifle a report from pakistan by our regular author
10:53 am
asim alma this is the famous shopping district of peshevar hayat abad used to be this market was famous for russian goods. and now there are only chinese products here. in the past, during the years of the soviet afghan war, russian goods were smuggled here from afghanistan. then they dispersed throughout pakistan. now everything has changed. there were many goods from the soviet union in this market and they enjoyed great demand along with the american ones, but now there is nothing of this left, because the border is closed, business relations between russia and pakistan were not strong before, the largest joint project was a metallurgical plant in karacha, built in 1985 with the participation of soviet specialists, however, due to poor management and lack of proper maintenance this gigantic costly facility was shut down by thousands
10:54 am
of its employees. another area of cooperation lost their jobs military-technical pakistan this russia, some types of weapons and military equipment , mi-17 mi-35 helicopters and various types of tanks. yes , and moore khan from the institute of pakistan deals with relations with russia, he says that if it were not for the americans, it would be possible to cooperate more, there are many opportunities for trade. especially in the energy sector. pakistan has big needs in the gas sector gas oil can benefit both countries the important issue is the price and i think russia could support pakistan prime minister of the country. he put on a lot of noise, including in the us they say that the government was overthrown due to the fact that he visited moscow and the americans were very unhappy with this. now imran khan says he discussed the possibility of importing cheap oil and wheat from russia and
10:55 am
the current government. against this, the americans were outraged by my visit. in russia, they said that imran should not have gone. the americans told their people in parliament that if imran khan remained in power, pakistan would face difficult days. at pakistan has an official agreement with russia on gas supplies, but due to sanctions it cannot be implemented. now negotiations are underway to purchase russian oil. pakistan can export leather and textiles to russia, and import wheat trade. it can reach billions of dollars, if russia supplies us with cheap goods such as gasoline and gas, then we should take them. we must have business relations with all countries. we will do business not only with israel, but with everyone else. russian katana dermantisists and experts say that they welcome the development of relations with russia , especially if it trades
10:56 am
cheap goods with pakistan, and their quality is higher than chinese ones. in the new world, partnerships are scattered inappropriately, especially since the experience was considered marginal. suddenly, we have already mentioned about iran, but without creating an independent economy, managed by its own national personnel, relying on domestic natural resources. own technologies. impossible to overcome economic pressure from the imperialists and further impossible to maintain political sovereignty economic independence is the basis of political independence to the root. the great leader kim irsen was ripening, and in the future the other day the korean people's political republic, just recognized the dpr and the lpr. the country
