western counties in the internal affairs of the former soviet republics and this is because this strategy of nato and of the western counties is to grow to include more counters in their group in order to have a more probably economic economic profit and benefits you mentioned there the crisis in ukraine i think we will. we'll agree that it was precipitated by this very tenuous relationship between russia on one hand and nato on the air on another hand. both sides still blame one another for what happened but do you think internally at least has there been any revaluation of what happened in ukraine why it happened what are the potential conflict this is what we try. to who try to discuss because even your opinion what is very interesting is what provoked of the crisis will be mainly there was a movement in a crane there was a movement to the beginning of the new millennium it was the orange revolution a movement the. leading the count to two words of the west. but then there was a one year who called visual selective the game of. wars or there was a new position of the majority of the ko

it outdated and insisted it should be revised to include other nations most notably china international affairs commentator jonathan steele told us it's precisely fear of china's growing military might that is behind america's i.n.f. withdrawal plans many commentators think that this is the american decision is linked more to china's them to russia because the chinese are not part of the treaty very been developing their missile capabilities and there are military capabilities in southeast asia in the south china sea and the americans want to be able to confront. the treaty which we're talking about prevents the americans of course deploying missiles not just in europe and in asia as well as want to get out of it so they can start putting missiles there. and if withdrawal is in line with his america first mantra. takes a look at the wider policy ambitions of the american leader. donald trump can be called any number of things good and bad it all depends on which side you're on interesting really enough though it's donald trump that keeps giving donald trump new titles a global. is a person that

its missiles claiming they're in breach of a cold war era missile treaty we can talk now to international affairs commentator john peel welcome back to r.t. now i know that belligerent language is par for the course since trump got into the white house but this is an ambassador talking the first threat of its kind since the end of the cold war does it say anything significant to you about the state of u.s. russian relations right now well as it says something about the need to keep. active and spending more and more money on defense it's just a shooter comments in advance of a nature to the meeting in brussels of which your secretary of defense. and i think she's trying to raise interest. rates a little bit of alarm as well so john and who's been pushing this do you think is it just down to the pentagon or do you think this is had the white house stamp of approval. i think it probably has the white house stamp of approval to remain these are very are carrying issues to do with the range of different missiles. bridges still being developed there and they're not being flown yet and so is it's almos

that i'm now joined by yuri barmen the middle east and north africa of the russian international affairs council your it's good to talk to you thank you very much for coming over thanks for having me after two weeks of denying the death of the journalist the saudi leadership has finally acknowledged that it had taken place although it's still denying the grisly details or degrees the allegations of what happened to the body what is the scope of plausible deniability for the house of south. do they even need to come up with the believe story. question i mean the saudis have sort of. long. thought probably that. the killing of. that would be the end of the story but clearly that is not the case and the story going to keep spinning and you know the the turks keep putting more pressure the americans keep coming coming up with more pressure so at this point it doesn't seem that it's the end of the story and it seems that the saudis will have to fight back will continue to i think it's a very rare case when the sheer fact. of the killing or of the murder is less egregious than demand. dismembe

and international affairs. just before the break we have touched upon the. three each after it's been american think tank and media circles and just yesterday i had a chance to read that famous column by thomas friedman of the new york times in which he's got about how. mohamed bin some months after is going to reshape the entire islamic world teaches indeed part of the saudi ambition how much of an obstacle is the case to the broader saudi agenda. will be even more. well i think. and i think it's likely that he's going to stay in power i think you'll have to show that he was undermined but he will i think you'll be kind of geopolitical geopolitical ventures and. your reference earlier on. in the desert i think was designed in part to facilitate brawl in the future. of that country you mentioned that a number of companies had to pull out under the pressure from the public which kind of shifted the spotlight onto the very relatively small russian delegation there do you think it was wise on the part of the russians. rather than pull out. i think it was was a

fired by saying public officials should be very careful when it comes to aggressive rhetoric international affairs commentator jonathan steele believes the u.s. ambassador was actually trying to convince nato to boost the fence spend. well as it says something about the need to keep nature of activism spending more and more money on defense it's just issued her comments in advance of a nature to their meeting in brussels a british us secretary of defense john mattress will be there and i think she's trying to raise interest and to raise a little bit of alarm as well same time these are very are carrying issues to do with the range of this different besides and bridges still being developed say has not been flown yet and served this is almost a theological argument because we're talking about things to discern abstract and unknowable and invisible to ordinary people into most of the intelligence agencies nature itself except the american ones so you just have to take them all trust. and moving on now russia's military house released a video of an earth defense system being delivered to syria it's b
