hello on air international review in the studio fedor lukyanov today in the program international review events of the week chronicles the prospects for the ukrainian crisis zelensky visited the united states materials of our program japan security play for defense vladimir zelensky paid a visit

to washington the event became an application for a new nature of relations between the united states and ukraine it's not just a patron client. now the customer -contractor a week ago henry kissinger published an article in which 1 thesis was new, the neutral status of ukraine lost relevance, as a subject for negotiations , the party is militarized by the united states and actively contributes to the formal status of membership or not in nato, kiev is no longer a military ally of america with a unique experience of military operations against russia, the members of the alliance themselves do not want to gain such experience. in ukraine, they will help to accumulate it further. ukraine outside the us bloc is even more convenient than there are no formal obligations,

washington's loyalty is the highest scale of support for the situation, and building up ukrainian potential is necessary for the next steps. the confrontation was done without the involvement of nato units, he was given the role of a motivated landskänerter. there are, of course, nuances that can make adjustments, but the topic of the european security system, as it was seen a year ago, is no longer on the agenda, when it comes up again, something completely different will have to be discussed. elon musk restless announced the vote. should he leave the post of head of twitter, the majority said that he should look for a replacement. in general, while musk shook the question, a figure, a kind of mixture anthroprenor is a dreamer of an adventurous warehouse, a businessman of a large scale, bright, witty and a person who thinks of himself

outside the framework of political canons. in october , after the purchase of the social network twitter, elon musk published a post birdie freely, after which he fired the entire management, the richest man on the planet according to forbes, has been actively using this platform for more than 10 years and often allows himself harsh statements that cost him dearly back in 2018 april fool's day. company founder tesla published a post about its complete bankruptcy. not everyone understood the joke, the next day the company's shares fell by 5%. musk is not shy about expressions during the lockdown. he called for the liberation of america and called the panic for the stupid anti-covid virus restrictions fascist. lately a billionaire. he often speaks about politics in the summer. he criticized the democrats, calling them a party

of division and hatred and promising to vote for the republicans, then urged to watch. the way the democrats unleash a dirty campaign against him a few days before publishing this tweet. he compared joe biden to something like an empty suit and the hero of a comedy tv presenter who read everything he was shown on the prompter on october 3, tesla shares fell again. after the businessman proposed to resolve the conflict in ukraine with the help of four points, hold in the eastern regions, where they voted for reunification with russia, a repeated referendum under the auspices of the un to ensure the water supply of crimea to recognize it as russian, because khrushchev mistakenly transferred it to kiev a status of ukraine neutral, musk then asked twitter users whether they agree that the inhabitants of donbass and crimea should decide for themselves whether they are not part of russia or ukraine, out of almost two and a half million respondents. more than half answered

positively, the reaction was immediately followed by a comment. torah accused the mask of a double game and dubbed it an agent of the kremlin, and this despite the fact that the businessman continues to supply free satellite internet through his stalint system, however, a billionaire. warned not worth considering his tweets. too serious, because in social networks. he's just having fun and according to him he's going crazy. elon musk is funny, but why is the whole world listening to him so attentively, and ideas in places, mockingly discussing sometimes for weeks , maybe there is no one else to listen to when the end of the region is not visible to the crisis, and there is no effective institutions left, there is a request who will show the way to appeasement, an international organization lose functionality, the head of state, or are themselves involved in the confrontation. or vice versa, maximum

evade the wrong sector is limited to local tasks no longer pulls. there is hope left for the moral or intellectual gurus of those who are able to influence the minds. they have a set that is constantly on the lips of the extremely revealing pope francis henry kinchenger. well , elon musk can be treated in completely different ways, but their opinion invariably attracts everyone's attention. why are they that, for example, makes people of the third decade of the twenty-first century listen to the words of the pope what were? understand my next reasoning? let's cut off the roman adjectives from the questions. why do people listen to dad? well, because in this sense, the pope. yes, that's the title. this is the same home, dad, even daddy or father. well , that is, in short, in the life of a person, the family in

life. i don't know the community. maybe even say civilization should be a person who well worth listening to is another matter. do you obey well according to your childhood? we can understand everything about this matter. and look, traditionally , the popes communicated with the world, but above all the catholic yes, with the help of a monologue speech, some documents, well, different, yes, hierarchical value, the current pope, francis communicates with a completely different way, he came up with a new way of papal communication, interviews and all the most interesting things that are then discussed, as a rule, are born in his interview. and this is an informal speech. this is his dialogue yes, this is his dialogue to count or not with the world. in this sense, of course, another such figure, uh, in european history. and maybe even the world, of course not. rome is eternal, and at this stage of eternal rome yes his representative or you can say his

media face, this is dad and he says things, he needs to say things that are very interesting, you can disagree with them, he can even protest. how to do the same protestants. yes, and they did once, well, it 's worth listening to them. here is such an amazing story from the eternal rome. in this case, with a small tiny papal rome, which is called the state of the city of vatican well, let's say, the expectation from the pontiff, the timid hope that there is still something above the peaceful, proceeding from higher moral considerations. they are the current conjuncture no matter what the history of the catholic church and the papacy. it doesn't always confirm this. and suddenly, well, here is henry kinchenger 99 years old. why does the conclusions of the decrepit old man's political career, which ended almost half a century ago, continue to interest the world? there are not so many smart people in the world, and there are rather few of them. and the sour

of his entire biography, scientific works and political career, a difficult political career, really served as a recognition that he is an intelligent person. and when a smart person says he should always be listened to, because what he says is the most important thing. even if he does not want to , he still pays attention to the most important thing in the description of the contemporary. well, in this case, the international political reality. and the important thing is that we should not believe an intelligent person as the ultimate truth, since intelligent people are also very often not sincere, or they offer us the interpretation that meets their optimal idea. about how events should develop, but even if smart man wants us to deceive his statement. this is an occasion to think about what he

is paying attention to in this case. here is an example of the last article of the case, he points to the military capabilities of the ukrainian armed forces as one of the important arguments in favor of his interpretation of the future development of events. and even if we see that events can develop differently and we will do everything to make them develop. otherwise, we must understand that just like that, such a person will not be described about this. and it really is an important part of the whole problem and an important part of, uh, the problems that russia is facing. henry kissinger is the personification of generalized geopolitical wisdom, in fact, in international relations, kissinger said everything back in 1954 in his dissertation. it was devoted to the congress of vienna , and then he tried to apply his main idea about the need for balance to different international situations. and now

kissinger's thought is in ukrainian conflict. ultimately comes down to someone's malignity complete victory, dad, let's say kisinger's morality is wisdom, and musk, on which the image of elon mask is based , is actually listened to. we don’t know what elon musk really is and can guess it, and he would have him first, he has the image of a successful person. and we always want to attach to this. although we all know that he brought his startups under bankruptcy many times and his tesla succeeded. there after a lot of unsuccessful and so on. well, if you ask everyone, who is the most successful person in the world just. second the moment is that he speaks very confidently about all things even when he is wrong, or even when he does not know, but it will be so that he

seems to know how he knows best what to do. and this confidence is also captivating. this is his image, and the third thing - this is the transcendence everyone says. well, he will send a ship to another galax, he will see you, he launches rockets. he implants chips in the brain, uh, and nothing that his chips were not compared to modern ones, but it seems to everyone that if there is something transcendent, then what we are with you in ordinary we don’t see life, then we see it ilona mask , he brings ordinary life to the technologies of the future , and, probably, this is the image of a person who, on the one hand, is successful, which means he can be trusted, probably when he talks about the future, and he knows what he does. well, and beyond the bounds, he does something that, well, we don’t see in ordinary life. these are the components that form the image. who wants to listen. you still have to want it. even if you don’t argue, and it’s clear to e that he doesn’t

want to join in this sense, he the ideal marketer built the marketing correctly, because in fact this is the image of elon mask and not elon at all. musk 's transcendence is not to be confused with lawlessness. you can , of course, follow the classic to say what time the messiah is in the yard. but the mask is also characterized by sound judgments that are atypical for the modern establishment. they are truly worth their weight in gold today. exposure from elon musk he began to regularly publish the outrageous things that were happening before him on twitter the democratic party and the american press, which, by the way, says that this is not what you thought john darkov portrayed a mask in the form of a cat sylvester from the famous cartoons

of the order brothers company there as one of the heroes. sometimes a little bird tweety spoke. here it is this time, apparently they ate paris over from india jokes on the topic of voting, which arranged the brain for him to leave the post of director of twitter or remain a figure. speaks for itself with another famous movie look from the alien franchise and new trends ilona masks oh, it seems to me that another work has been unblocked on twitter. grieved over censorship banned quietly the donkey and the elephant are symbols of the two parties, a hint that the democrats limited the accounts of the republicans through twitter. whether the characters under discussion influence the course of events, perhaps not, but the statement of francis, kissinger and the mask evoke a different reaction. but it

diverges in circles in the conditions of the dominance of informational garbage, when anything is instantly washed away by a muddy stream , francis is trying to adapt 21 century the mission of the world church. kissinger to project for today the balance of the best manifestations of the past musk seeks to assemble a single humanity by engineering and technical methods, none of them, most likely, will succeed. but i really want to believe in something. japan adopted a new national security strategy, international instability is rising everyone is looking for a course of action. everything tokyo. it would seem clear from the forty-fifth year to worry. no need, for this there is a senior american, brother, but everything is changing. so the adopted document affirms such a complex and tense situation in the field

of security. japan has not seen since the end of world war ii. and another characteristic remark, the border between combat deployment and deployment in peacetime between the military and non-military spheres is not traced, it is difficult to argue. back in 2006 , prime minister shinzo abe, who won the election, called for a revision of the constitution of the forty- seventh year, which forbade japan from having a full-fledged army, and in 2013 in japan adopted the first national security strategy main focus. it focused on the asia-pacific region at the forefront put the sayan usa probably and the adversaries of north korea and china countries with common strategic interests south korea australia strange session india ab strategies and russia and china treated japan as partners

and noted the importance of cooperation with them in all areas in 2016, a law came into force that allowed the japanese army to participate in hostilities to protect not only national territory, but also friendly countries. even if japan is not under attack. last week, a new national security strategy was published in tokyo , which does not mention cooperation with moscow. japan is seriously concerned about russia's political course; the basic course remains the return of the northern territories, as japan calls the kuriles and the conclusion of a peace treaty with russia in tokyo is sure that the main security threat comes not from moscow, but from beijing politics china has been named the greatest strategic challenge in terms of regional and global security. another threat pyongyang north korea as stated in the document becomes more and more dangerous

given the rapid development of its missile technology. russia's wording is noteworthy russian external military and other actions have shaken the very foundations of the international order and are perceived as the most significant and direct threat to the security of the european region, and in the endo-pacific region they are reinforced by strategic coordination. with china raise strong security concerns in europe a direct threat. and for asia, a strong concern. feel the difference, remaining a true ally of the united states and part of the so-called collective west tokyo is in no hurry to burn bridges from moscow to the ceiling. oil prices have joined. but they don’t want to stop cooperation on liquefied natural gas, because they themselves have to tear themselves

completely at a loss, like the europeans. japan doesn't seem ready. how japanese attitudes towards international issues are changing security, let's talk with a person who has been closely watching this country for a long time sergey agafonov worked in tokyo for many years recently published a book, samurai at the crossroads or runin, just about what we are talking about today, seryozh hi, uh, well, we have a relationship . eh, it’s extremely difficult for japan now, but at the same time, i noticed that in the new e concept of a strategy for self-security , formations in russia are quite careful, what is the reason for this? well, let's start with the fact that it seems to me that extremely unfriendly is a bit of a strong wording. and it is rather our positions than the japanese one, because the japanese one is just not to burn all the bridges, if we forget about it and focus only on

our own grievances and building a front in relation to the so-called united west which in fact. we've lost a lot, as far as we're concerned. the japanese point of view and the document you are talking about, then again, this is all, uh, a natural history, it is traditional with all the peaks that our relations experienced there during the years of the cold war. uh, there, let's say peaks in a bad way peaks in a bad way, yes, with all this, the japanese have never crossed the line. e, and. although there was never any mention of red lines. between us and the japanese. well, there was some unspoken feeling of what not to do. well, let's say. eh, well, everyone knows. well , actually this is a fact, a large american military presence on the japanese islands. well, the whole four thousand people, there, a cloud,

objects and so on. well, none of them are nakakayds, that is, they are never directly close to us. with all e, with all the documents that exist. with all that. the so-called pliability of the japanese authorities of the americans in hokkaido, the japanese by any means, did not let and do not let. well, if we take not our relationship, the overall positioning. uh, the situation is changing dramatically in the world. the japanese understand all this, too, can we say that they are still following this strategy and further steps that they will get rid of the very restrictions that were once restrictions and self-restrictions that were imposed on the japanese defense security policy unconditionally. the conclusion is correct with only one with one correction with one, that is, an opinion. this is japan's attempt to get rid of the position of the slave and regain its subjectivity in world affairs. and yes, and the military too. eh, a record of this can be kept not from

some recent events or, let's say , the current radical change, which happened after february 24 much earlier than from the time of swimming. on the one hand, the article of the constitution that the americans wrote prohibits having the armed forces the armed forces actually appeared there a couple of years after the introduction of the same constitution before. it was called, uh, the self-defense forces now, or the national defense department, which was in charge of this matter. now it is already the ministry and there is a national security council. what was not there before, the joint chiefs of staff do not talk about it for a second, but the japanese army is fifth in the world, uh , it exists in terms of equipment and so on. yes , the top five makes sense remind america, we are china and india and then japan it's in this numbers, well, no matter how much it can impress someone. there are almost 250,000 armed

forces and everything is against it, but uh, while the japanese army is one u ordinary 2,5. and now there are probably three officers, which means that with a click. if there is a need for this to turn into 600-800.000 who have become armed in a short historical period, the technological japanese have absolutely everything about it. yes, they don't build bombers, and the americans don't, but an interesting detail is that they do it under license. let's just say that american fighters are better than the american original, because there is a japanese fine-tuning in ionics in electronics and for all others. and there is another onion thing, and this is the idea that the japanese military-industrial complex is a myth. well, in fact, if you look in absolute numbers, this is somewhere around 1% of what this country produces, but the thing is that this is the secret to deploy all this on and put on stream

the question is not the summer of months and strength of the japanese is that all the advanced achievements that we have, and in the same america or europe are hidden in secret laboratories, the japanese immediately launch any achievement in defense in civilians in order to establish large-scale production and find new uses, say graphite uh rackets appeared uh, graphite bases. for the same stealth in america, it was classified, the japanese began to play with graphite rackets. there for 10 years. before the invisibility took off, it was not in america, but now the moment is very difficult on the one hand. well, everyone is trying to understand where the world is going, they are trying to strengthen their own potential on the other hand in the situation that is coming in asia , domination or attempts to dominate china but to turn away from the united states well , let's say it's dumb, that is, this is how they decide. this, that is, the partner of the cartridge. needed.

you look dumb anyway, but remain completely dependent on the united states, because in japan , the uh, point of view has not been formed for a long time. on the one hand, it is paradoxical, on the other hand , it is symbolic, and at the same time, the same tragedies and the japanese consider both good relations between america and china and bad relations, because in the first case they turn into a traitor and periphery, and in the second case and uh, from this point of view, not to have an alternative, but to completely go to the farvat or e of the country, which in recent times, well, even with an objective attitude, it is not very often adequate for the japanese. this is, uh, a huge huge challenge and a serious danger that is not felt, uh, very deep, because japanese ideas of perfection in the world. i already spoke about it.

they are here on the principles of harmony, balance. yes , there was a very convenient niche to sit under an american umbrella, and as it turns out, an umbrella is relatively, because recently archival research found that, in general, the americans did not undertake anything anywhere, they were not obliged to protect a portion, there with nuclear weapons, and not where it does not appear. uh, besides, the americans themselves, they constantly remind the japanese that they should bear more share. sweating to take responsibility, and so on and so forth, trump generally said that the japanese are dependents, the issue is that here is the true equality of freedom of hands in some certain operations. and here, uh, this is the frontier, which, uh, is not yet given u, to the japanese precisely from an internal point of view, because in order to transcend this, it is necessary to radically revise the security treaty, which everyone considers the sacred cow. but that is until something happens

. and these things are already on the horizon . i think even faster than the melting of some story. and what about the japanese, well, yes, in the first korean war in the fiftieth year, they were a support base and rear in support of american operations, but with the potential of what could happen there, it is definitely a target in any case, what then to do, so now there is talk that japan wants to untie itself and decide there that they can launch preemptive strikes. what is so far legislative and it is possible for me, and i am also convinced that this, in general, is not so much outwardly. how many domestic japanese issues, once a consensus is reached within japan what should be done? it will be done. well and so further in this context. naturally a question. here we are doomed with the japanese. she dislikes in this new world and there are options. i think there are definitely options and i think that we

are doomed to cooperate. ah. and in general the whole history of our relationship. in this sense, it is quite tragic, because, and those periods of the heyday of our relations that were, they were, uh, interrupted either out of stupidity or by well, i don’t know, there, in this case, the russian side of some japanese features, and so on . well, look in the fourteenth year, when there was world war i. we were actually allies. if it weren’t for japanese weapons, there would be artillery, and orisaki rifles, there would be no brusilov breakthrough, few people know about this, but here’s a wonderful historian about this. there, konstantin sarkisov recently published a book last year. that's it about these little-known things, but nonetheless. this is true. and yes, then all these things happened, and so on. and if we talk about that recent, uh, times, let's say, but the second world war, after all, when is the japanese minister

nazar affairs matsuka flew to stalin signs a wonderful treaty of neutrality. and then catch him, in general, preached the idea. she is not his, where the echo of the hoffer is notorious, but it was said that it was ideal for the organization of peace and stability. this is the axis berlin uh, moscow tokyo uh, and this is a geopolitical given and this construction it has not gone away. but if we talk about what is real and everything else, but as it seems real, this is also in japanese constructions, partially even in american e, it flickers that a more stable construction for uh, such a serious and important region, like the asia-pacific is not a triangle where u is. uh, moscow-beijing and the united states, and in this square,

japan can and should occupy. thank your side. sergey agafonov was with us after the advertisement, let's move to africa, they say a lot, don't leave.
