hello on air international review in the studio of fyodor lukyanov today the events of the week of chronicles the year is the reaper and his name is death a classic german ballad of the 17th century was written in the midst of the thirty years' war by the then standards of world lamentation for countless victims in europe, the ominous image is reproduced in culture again and again. here is the shock reconnaissance drone of the army. usa named reaper. reaper with transparent allusion. on tuesday, the reaper's unlucky flight in the black sea ended at the bottom after meeting with a russian aircraft

during the campaign in ukraine, the first direct russian american collision is relatively harmless, and yet defense minister ustin and chief staff officer mark mile called their counterparts in moscow to explain themselves. during the cold war, airborne incidents were not considered uncommon, sometimes even fatal and not always over soviet territory, for example, on september 4, 1950 the soviet bomber douglas boston of the pacific fleet was on a training flight and was shot down by an american fighter corsair. the crew died . the american command apologized and called the incident a mistake, then the korean war was going on and tension was growing, but on the day the armistices were signed in the korean conflict on july 27, 53 and sports. artur

flew transport il-12 on board were an officer of the medical service. ice on the technical staff and crew a total of 21 people the plane flew over china to vladivostok it was attacked by four f86b fighters. all who were on board died after 2 days. after that, near askold island on the territory of the ussr, a pair of mig-17s shot down an american b-50 reconnaissance aircraft; incidents were not only in the far east in june 1952 over the baltic sea , mig-15 fighters shot down a swedish s-47 reconnaissance aircraft. sky tray formal neutral sweden aircraft collected electronic intelligence data in favor of nato 3 days later they shot down one of the catalina flying boats that flew in to look for him and tried to evade persecution on june 1 sixtieth year. the soviet mig-17 shot down

an american rb-47 reconnaissance aircraft over the barents sea, where exactly they hit the plane in neutral waters or in soviet waters is still unclear. each side has its own opinion, but there were the most famous incidents of civilian airliners. perhaps it was the boeing 7 shot down on sakhalin in 83. well, the cinnamon had no luck, and before that, on april 20, seventy-eight, their flight 902 of the same karen air airline flew out of paris to seoul and got lost over the kola peninsula, they tried to plant him, but his pilot is a former combat pilot. the air force tried to get away from the chase, as a result, the plane was shot down and made an emergency landing. only two people died on the ice of the lake , the rest were saved. the actions of the soviet interceptors were recognized as correct. the ussr demanded compensation for rescuing passengers, and the airline itself refused to pick up the plane so as not to pay for

the evacuation and get insurance. incidents in the air and at sea a cold war companion to the spirit, which we returned to the spirit, but not the letter, because then in the early seventies awareness the risks of reckless behavior led to the signing of an agreement on the prevention of incidents, in the high seas and the airspace above it quotes from the document aircraft crew commanders, each side must exercise the greatest caution and prudence when approaching aircraft, the other side operating over the high seas and ships of the other countries operating in the open. sea. say drone not a plane. so it doesn’t fit, but the point is not in the type of aircraft, but in the fact that they forgot about the greatest caution, they thought about useless, but the customs of confrontation

returned. so it's time for everyone to remember about safety. china in recent weeks the focus of the first session of the all chinese people's congress and the all chinese committee of the people 's political advisory council xi jinping officially elected president of the people's republic of china for the third time, then iran's sworn rivals saudi arabia announced in beijing to restore relations for china's first mediation success of world significance, finally, the comrades are sitting in moscow according to the current times. any russian chinese summit event. and if the first visit of a new term is a gesture and at all a landmark china reaches the qualitative level of the policy of diplomatic influence , the conjuncture partly contributes. major players are bogged down in

contradictions. the middle ones assert themselves and look for patrons. and beijing is prudently using the situation. although he is still afraid of excessive attraction. about the new stage, let's talk with our faithful, comrade alexander lamanov, deputy director of the primakov mmo sasha hi. and what experts draw conclusions from the new composition of the chinese government, everyone is obsessed with the ministry of defense, which is under us sanctions, but this is not the most important thing. the delegates of the entire chinese people's congress approved the new composition of the state council ; letyan, a confidant of sizenping, became the head of the new government. prior to that, he successfully managed the shanghai gork . during the coronavirus pandemic, he was responsible for compliance with strict anti-covid restrictions in the city as part of the

covid-19 zero tolerance policy. he worked for a long time in various positions in the east of the country, and in october last year joined the standing committee of the flight bureau of the cpc central committee deputy premiers of the state council. ding liu liu, gujun. heli-feng and zhang guoqing became the minister of public security as state councilors of the people's republic of china. vann, xiaohong chinese foreign minister . qin head of the government secretariat improved john member of the 20th cpc central committee shein and qing, as well as the minister of defense li shanfo the latter will command the chinese army without having a combat experience at the age of 45, he led the spaceport now supervised the launch of china's first lunar probe and oversaw the space programs. in addition, li shanfu has been under us sanctions for 5 years for the purchase of russian aircraft and

s-400 missile systems, in addition to the head of the ministry of foreign affairs. china's qin gang and minister of state security. whose and blue his posts, kept the key figures of the chinese economy in their former posts. minister of finance, liukun, minister of commerce, wang wintau, as well as the head of the people's bank of china and gan a, the state committee for development or forms, headed jenzel, earlier, the mps re-elected all dolphins as the chairman of the people's republic of china for the first time in the history of the country, he will hold this post for another 5 years, for the third consecutive term, almost 3,000 deputies unanimously voted for him. he was in charge of the affairs of the ganges and macau and at the same time oversaw the investment and energy cooperation between russia and china. well, firstly,

the prime minister personally and at least two vice-premiers knew each other all day long at work. year, so one of the features of the current cabinet is at least constructive personal business and in the past business relations with the current one, which was not constructive in the previous one. well, they are trustworthy, probably, more precisely, so to speak, they, of course , have always been and will be constructive on duty, but these are the people who worked with him won his trust well, letyan, respectively, at work in the provinces. gd they were together there for several years, and the first vice premier of xian shanghai they worked together for less than a year, but was completely a peculiar situation, because, uh, the previous head of the city party organization of shanghai schengens, was dismissed with great noise for corruption and in 2007, if the day of ping was sent to

krat time interval to exalt the shanghai portion, that is, they, together with the first with the current first deputy prime minister dino sirican, they actually put things in order there in personnel organizational matters. sidenping has been carrying out the reform of the chinese government for almost 10 years, and the main idea is that everything is led by the non-government party uh-huh party, therefore, respectively, in its present form, the chinese cabinet. well, the chinese premiers are vice premiers. they are assumed in advance to their positions as high-quality very conscientious performers. they are both developers of books and self-politics. socio-economic reforms. there are no longer people in the top leadership of the state council who would study backwards, because this is a wave of fashion for those who have hmm western doctorates of the big world outlook does not mean that

they are illiterate people. just another requirement, well, that is, it can be indirectly form to formulate. so you live in china. you have to understand china and get out of chinese specifics and solve chinese problems based on the chinese context. an unusual figure, not very publicized, but uh, nevertheless, this is a dzhangotin, who worked for more than 20 years in the chinese military-industrial complex, managed a defense enterprise quite successfully, moreover, in his youth in e, at the turn of the eighties and nineties. he also worked as a representative office of his company in tehran. so he has he also has such an international outlook , but so to speak. these are precisely his international functions of the physical, yes, and uh, any june, and also not very well-publicized vice-premier, in my opinion. he simply asks for the role of the supervising vice-premier in relation to russia

. first of all, he was born in the provinces. over the border with the far east of russia, he held leadership positions in this province for more than a decade. e he led for some time the province of the division in this also in the northeast. china also communicated with uh, well, russian politicians far eastern leaders, but another interesting feature, it seems to me, earlier, uh, in the chinese government, they tried to recruit them. who has experience of working in poor regions. it was an old approach that has become so much already old. here a person must look to live. here you are in charge of a rich province, and then you need to be in charge of a poor province so that you understand. these are the difficulties in life, so as not to think that everything is good everywhere. but this is a selection of people, they are not there, those who would be sent to especially poor provinces especially for hmm experience gain. eh, i think it's very good and it seems that i understand

the logic of all the depin, which is better to collect. a team of those who understand well the success of the market economy. here in these rich, prosperous, developing seaside market market economies. you mentioned iran uh, just now a very big fuss arose about the agreement between iran and saudi arabia, which were concluded in beijing, even the whole entourage was absolutely chinese photos these are the ones we are used to. uh, a big success for the chinese and it turns out that this is, as it were , in their new level. i don’t remember that china has ever taken on such large international tasks that are not directly related to it, but should we wait for a transition to another level, and, so to speak , activity in other conflicts. well, of course, and ours, too, russian ukrainian, a unique situation that trusting relationships and interaction with

both reconciling parties. in the case when one of the parties to the conflict is too strong subject to us policy of containment of china desire to slow down. china, of course, is hope, there will be no such success, but i agree with you that the new level of development of china, which china itself is already aware of, is not that china suddenly succeeds and suddenly realizes that it is stronger and smarter. what it seemed. uh, before, uh sits bean methodically consistently and clearly, having a strategic plan prepares china for this role. that's just enough to look at what has happened over the past three years 2021, everything beer day puts forward a global initiative development, which is focused on helping the lagging behind, developing countries to use their chance for material development in this world in the past 2022 against the background

of the crisis. in ukraine, sit beer puts forward a global security initiative just a couple of days ago at an international forum of political parties, all intimacy proclaims a global initiative for the dialogue of civilization. all good things nothing bad support the inheritance of values ​​to discuss the price means to discuss the problem in the tradition of innovation to develop a dialogue. uh, between people uh respect. ah, the diversity of civilizations. er, well, at the same time, he raised the most important questions about how the modern world should develop. what is modernization and immediately said that what modernization should not be , it should not be a copy. uh, as he said of the outdated way of colonial expansion, when someone modernizes through robbery. it should not be a repetition of the path of the pernicious kolomna path, when a strong state intimidates other countries.

but china will show the whole world. how to follow the path of peaceful modernization, i.e. modernization that does not harm anyone and, accordingly, creates only good for everything. why is this important to mankind? in my opinion, that this is not only a single initiative, that china has succeeded, uh, in reconciling opponents here or solving some problem of a single country or region there china is forming some kind of voluminous strategic idea of ​​​​how the world should be in the coming decades, and with this pinz asks absolutely wonderful rhetorical questions. partly copying the language of mao zeng, but from this they happen completely uh, in chinese in chinese stylistically in chinese penetrating how to properly drain a pond to catch a fish or create just such a model of modernization in which human nature will always live in

harmony . and mao conceived was very fond of this phrase. in fact. he liked to use it at that time, somewhere in the late fifties, early 60s, in relation to the soviet union , that this is what the soviet economy says , so they act cool there. rybka fished means, and then the economy, then in a complete crisis. but in china, we will learn how to make the economy function without such, e, radical phenomena, a little like the immortal dilemma of faina ranevskaya girl. you want to go to the country or have your head torn off, well, on the other hand, there is nothing to argue with. i just wanted, uh, the last question, but for us, probably the most important thing and they are waiting in moscow for czen. a partnership that has no boundaries. we announced over a year ago. where next that she'll be develop. it was such a trial initiative from the chinese side, a kind of proposal, which, well, i would regard as, well , the chinese desire to enter into dialogues.

uh, not only with our government, but with our expert community, but with our public in order to find new horizons for the development of the russian federation, it was the very beginning of 2021, when the current chinese foreign minister wang and said about three absences in russian chinese relations from the old formulation that we know well three no that our relations are not this is not the creation of an alliance, not the entry into a confrontation. they are not aimed against third countries, and suddenly the chinese side proposes such a wording as three absences. that is , this is the complete absence of forward limiters deep into the funeral, according to my observations already in the past 2022. uh, from the chinese side, this wording has not been repeated, but the baseline, which boils down to these three. no e is not the creation of the union of non-control non-control nature. they are directed against the third dances early, the performance was very interesting

minister of foreign affairs has a new shingan last week. during the parliamentary session. it is very interesting to make such a comparison that the paramount importance of diplomatic diplomacy of leaders or diplomacy of first persons for the development of russian -chinese relations, that the contacts of our two leaders, i quote sineghan, they are like a compass and set the course of a star for relations between russia and china it seems to me that this was a kind of hint on the importance of the upcoming event. after all, it was really symbolic exactly 10 years ago, only after becoming the chairman of the prc then paid a visit to russia in march 2013. thank you very much alexander lomanov was with you.

and by saudi arabia, the events, not an ordinary confrontation between tehran and riyadh of shiites and sunnis, is one of the main lines of division in a region that has long been undergoing shock . the shift inspires little so far, but optimism about the change in the atmosphere in western asia is encouraging that the united states is on the sidelines, because the latter a series of cataclysms began with their submission. monday marks 20 years since the us invaded iraq, burying the fragile balance in this part of the world. in the war against iraq, 49 countries participated in the operation console , the total number of troops reached 540,000 people, but more than 450,000 of them were americans and reactions. at best, they could put up 200,000 regular troops and another 150 fedorin saddams, in fact, militias on toyota technicals. iraq was under an international blockade

after the capture of the kubeit in 1990 and a desert storm in 1991. it was imposed sanctions and created an unmanned zone and forced to cooperate with the un within the framework of oil in exchange for the food economy began and after it the army during the blockade, the equipment became almost impossible to repair and modernize from more than 1,000 tanks and those available. on the move was at best half in these conditions. baghdad's mission was to drag out battles and inflict unacceptable casualties and cancer, mostly desert. so we need to defend the cities and turn them into a fortress, iraqis. they expected a blow from all sides, but, especially from the north, turkey is a member of nato and the blow would have come through hostile sadams through the kurdish regions, but in at the last moment, the turkish parliament refused to grant its territory as a result

of the offensive began in the south and the us army hit with a powerful tank fist through the desert into the void of large cities. in mesopotamia, including the basra, they were surrounded. the events from the book of the generation to kill took place here , which later turned into a tv series. at first , the raks believed that everything was going according to plan and the garrisons were holding out, but the main group moved towards baghdad. her goal was to slip through the narrow isthmus between the lake and the mech and frad in the kerbellai area. this is where the americans are. it was possible to give a battle, and they were seriously afraid of the use of chemical weapons, but the reaction was too late, the attack of the iraqi divisions of medina and the exit turned into a beating of them bombed from the air and in the dark with the help of a night vision sight, while the american army blockaded the iraqi capital of a clear plan there was no assault , they were going to probe the defenses with raids known

since the vietnam war. the so-called tandyrran thunder strike. the first involved only armored tracked vehicles, including 29amtsev. on april 5, the task was to enter the city and , before reaching the center, turn towards the baghdad airport. he, too, was occupied by the americans, a well-coordinated defense of the city did not exist, but scattered parts of the iraqi army, the syrian mercenaries of the fedorina guard , desperately resisted on april 7, decided to conduct a second raid into the city center even to stay there. at night, in order to later drive a supply convoy on wheeled vehicles through the fortified points, and the rakians desperately resisted, but the convoy nevertheless passed and brought fuel and ammo. although during these raids the americans also suffered losses at dawn on april 8 and the reactions again went on the attack, but during the night the americans turned the tide in their favor, the intensity of the attacks fell, and from

the southeast the marine corps division approached the next day on april 9, it was her the soldiers toppled the sadam statue, the futility of the attack, heavy equipment in the city undermined the will. to fight. there was still an assault ahead, kirkuuka, and only on may 1 did george push announce the end of hostilities, which, in fact, ended only in 2011 with the final withdrawal of american troops from iraq, but saddam's regime fell precisely on april 9, along with his statue. after what began the plunder of the city instead of the population? barack's intervention is a milestone in history, this is the culmination of american hegemony that came after the cold war, the climax, because the united states decided that it had the right to act solely at its own discretion, but the culmination, because it was the iraq operation that marked

the beginning of the decline of the american empire, not immediately, but the limits of possibility were clearly identified at the very beginning of the 2000s, the american intellectual class experienced a short, unusual moment, but bright in america , the concept of empire was suddenly rehabilitated, before it was abusive and the country arose on the republican ideals of dissident migrants from europe, all the authorities of the late 20th century. gave birth to temptation can become a beneficent hegemon of the empire of goodness to bear progress force. the iraqi crack moderated appetites, but so far the united states was aware of this, continuing to promote democracy by inertia the entire region plunged into anarchy , some believe that controlled chaos was a conscious strategy in washington. well, do not exaggerate the talents of the conservatives, who then asked a ton of american politics planned. they

wanted something else. what's best for yourself. and it turned out. well, you know, the formal reason for the invasion was the information of the american intelligence services, allegedly saddap hussein is developing weapons of mass destruction and collaborating with al-qada after the september 11 attacks in the united states, an explosive mixture of evidence personally presented to the un security council by us secretary of state colin powell and showed a test tube with white matter the active phase of the operation lasted 26 days, april 14, 2003 . tikrit's hometown of adam hussein fell , but the president himself was found only eight months later, near the city, the court sentenced him to death. saddam was hanged 3 years later in december 2006 on may 1 , 2003, president george push announced the

end of hostilities and the beginning of military occupation. the new one did not end; the country was overwhelmed by a wave of inter-religious population. the last column of us troops left iraq only 8 years later in december 2011, the coalition forces lost. in iraq nearly 5,000 predominantly americans, data on casualties among iraqis vary american media talks about three hundred thousand military and civilians the lancet magazine , the figure is called 460,000 times, no one found weapons of mass destruction saddam hussein's regime the united states gained a new ally in the middle east but lost a counterbalance to shia iran iraq tehran, which began to gain political weight in the middle east and became a new problem

for your tone. many things can be imputed to the americans, but as they like to say for tango, two are needed. saddam hussein, as if on purpose , provoked both washington and everyone else. by the time of the invasion, he single-handedly ruled cancer for almost 24 years. what just did not survive, including and the first us intervention in the ninety-first, faith in one's own invulnerability is a dangerous illusion. saddam believed that politics was propaganda tricks outplay anyone. he miscalculated did not think that the american invasion would be so massive. he expected some separate operations. if that were the case, they would only strengthen his power. he also grew up as a politician in a situation of constant crises, he knew how to handle them, but this time he did not pass. why? because there were ears and

republicans in the white house. if it were there, no one else would have dared to do this. after all, they eventually lost what they achieved, turned iraq into a state hostile to themselves, lost 5,000 people, billions and billions of dollars, and no return. when the americans left in 2011, the radical shiite groups decided that they were the ones who defeated them. after all, do not be americans. they themselves would never have been in power, in general, they miscalculated everything in the end. the americans paid the price for arrogance, and he himself got what he deserved. i was an opponent of saddam hussein, you can say from birth and all my adult life i was in opposition to him. he was a statesman at the same time a real dictator. well, looking back. i understand that the iraqi people created dictators for themselves, and not with adam imposed his power. i have read a huge number of documents about him.
