the u. s. had a triple a rating status on its securities and it became doubly by, by standard and poors. so the u. s. really paid a huge price for that kind of recalcitrance in not raising the debt ceiling. now, why is it that every politician wants to keep that around? why don't we just raise the debt ceiling to be 5 times the level of that that we have now to give it more room the way they do in 10, martin all or but. but the reason why is because every minority party and democrats, republicans together both realized they will be the minority. at some point, it gives the minority party united states leverage to get it's a political agenda across and pass legislation on. unfortunately, it puts the rest of the world at hostage to these domestic political battles. and so the political science of the debt ceiling is really what drives the discussion and the dynamics. no party will ever get rid of the u. s. that still it because it knows that if it's ever in the minority, it can hold up everything

and the u. s. has announced its sending at 31 abrams combat vehicles surgery hosted as recommended to step because on hansley krench capacity, the finished her turn achieve his strategic objectives. gave him franklin the most capable tanks in the world, are also extremely complex operated. maintain, sir, also given ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield. who would begin, will began to train ukraine troops on these issues of sustain logistical maintenance, soon as possible, to leverage tags to the fields. going to take time. time that we'll see, will use to make sure the credits are fully prepared. integrate the abram tanks in defense. the kremlin has dismissed the plan as absurd spokesman dmitri pet scoff said keith's allies were over estimating the benefits of sending tanks. he says the vehicles will burn like others have before. social media, john matter says it will reinstate former us president donald trump's accounts in the coming weeks.

the u. s. has confirmed it funding 31 abrams tanks earlier germany announced he would provide 14 of its most advanced left to tanks, flushing you much than i think mister chancellor, old german politicians and public figures for their willingness to strengthen the defense of europe, which is also a very powerful step by the united states. ukraine will receive abrams. thank you for the decisions that i thank mister president biden. personally, i thank congress. i thank every american family for the tangible strength of american global leadership glitched by the best with the key now as speed and volume. the speed of training our military, the speed of supplying tanks to ukraine, the amount of tank support. we have to form a fist of tank, a fist of freedom, which will not allow tyranny to rise again. maybe at least 3 palestinians have been killed. anti israeli forces rated the janine refugee camp in the occupied west bank eye. witnesses it a large number of security officers and to the camp from

the u. s. department of justice earlier stated it had seized $30000000000.00 in assets from russian entrepreneurs. washington had already frozen $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank. back in april, president biden proposed that congress authorized selling assets that belong to russian citizens. but u. s. law does not permit authorities to sell foreign own property, their economist and political analyst. i k hummer say the u. s. is going against its democratic principles with such steps. the most important thing is if you are not guaranteeing property ownership anymore under the u. s. law, then you destroyed the fundamentals of all democracy and free market economy that the united states and all the l. e. one to be we have, we in germany have not forgotten that germany was sanctions but sanctioned by the us to. so doesn't mean that german would be, could be see in the u. s. too many inhabitants from the l. e will move away from the u. s. to because it will be too dangerous to

the u. s. and germany. they announced that they wanted to send light tanks already yesterday. and today the 2 leaders, the u. s. president to bide and determine chancellor, all of shawls have had a phone conversation and after which it was announced that germany wilson, mart, or tanks. we don't yet know how many of those it has transpired that it might be dozens, it might be 60, we're not yet sure about the details. and it also will send another patriot system, one of which the u. s. has already promised before. what kind of equipment are we talking about here? so officially, the martyr is not a battle tank, which is what you, who has been asking for a while. it's a tank that has been in use in germany since the 1970 is which means since the cold war. but it is also used similarly to a battled, meaning that it is used on the front lines that it protects the soldiers fairly well. they can fight infantry that can fight other tanks as well. it has a cannon on, on top of it. it is a pretty sturdy b

the u. s. president has met with the dutch prime minister, calling on his european ally to quote, meet the challenges of china. however, numerous media outlets report the u. s. has failed to persuade the no one's own should join its restrictions on exporting chip making technologies to china. the dutch company s m l is one of the largest global suppliers in the industry and beijing remains one. busy of its main clients. will washington impose the export controls on china back in october, claiming beijing could use semiconductors from making military systems on advanced weapons. but chips are widely used in almost every electronic device out there, including mobile phones, laptops, and microwaves. well let's get the thoughts on all this from the executive vice president of. busy the eurasia center. think tank, earl rasmussen earlier, most welcome. why do you think the netherlands is seemingly not keen to jump on board with the u. s. when it comes to restrictions on china? well, this is, it's a

seeing the u. s. is trying to force berlin sam to day stag deliveries are reminiscent of the wound. 1914. this means direct participation in the war. this seems to be the deeper reason why washington is so reluctant. on the subject of tag deliveries. beth force is its ally to make sacrifices like a vassal, while washington's efforts to get allies to sin, more lethal laid comes amid tough economic challenges in germany, which is facing rising prices and soaring energy built. despite what we've just heard, the u. s. secretary of state denies, has countries pressuring anyone to take action. germany suggested today that sir, they weren't allowed tanks to be sent to ukraine unless the u. s. and 1st, i was a response to that. so on the question of, of tanks and for that matter, any women system, these are sovereign decisions for each country to make. well, we spoke to a member of the european parliament for the alternative for germany party essays that while the u. s. is asking countries to send their top h

the u. s. a added feel to the fire of escalating tensions in the middle east general talks a mid and recent drawing to tack on in britain in infrastructure. both us secretary of state anthony plan and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. quick to pin the blame on rom for an array of election reasons. it's a time where many and international community i would say, most of the international community have seen the true face of iran. we've seen the barbarism of this regime against its own people. they've seen how it exports regression beyond its border and beyond the middle east. and i think there is a common consensus that this regime must not acquire nuclear weapons. we discussed deepening cooperation to confront and counter rance, destabilizing activities in the region, and beyond. just as around as won't support a terrorists that attack israelis and others. other teams now providing drones that russia is using to kill innocent ukrainian civilians. temperatures are certainly rising as we

the u. s. has been present in syria since 2014 leading a coalition focus on regime change involving the military's of most nato countries and regional allies. amid accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021, the pentagon said that american troops weren't there to protect syrian oil fields except on rare occasions when civilians were involved. while syrian american journalist and political commentator steven saline say's washington's actions are stripping syria of the resources, the country needs to recover. they are so busy in the city, people from having added that. the fuel number for a warming to house is in the winter for tourney on the factory is for the rebuilding of syria. and that is particularly what a washington d. c wants to a country like celia is that huge amount of money. that is there. that could have rebuilt year to 2 or 3 times a doctor. we could have got a medication medicine. we could have got day 6 up our hospitals in syria. it could have got fuel for the cars, our schools a

so germany is basically been telling the u. s. i won't jump unless you do and the u. s. is looking at germany and saying no, you go 1st so they're both just kind of staying there at the edge of this cliff with no one willing to take the leap on this tank issue. now as recently as is week, never report citing senior pentagon officials, including under secretary for defense policy calling call, who said that washington simply wasn't ready to take that leave of sending tanks abram tanks to keep citing maintenance and training issues. now, even nato supreme allied commander, europe, or us, general christopher can volley said this week of western tanks, quote, there is not a particular weapon system that is a silver bullet. a balance of all systems is needed. so these statements by actual u. s. military experts clearly diverge from the ideologically driven take of politicians who keep framing western tanks as some kind of magic solution for military victory for ukraine over russian forces. on friday, zalinski made a direct request for the new tanks to the nato defense ministe

the u. s. and buster to the south american country has been meeting with peruse energy minister to talk about quote, issues in the mining sector. the very same on voice met the defense minister the day before, the qu, leading many to question the timing of the talks. the nation's natural resources have long been a target of the u. s. according to the us, the president petrocca steele, who drew attention to the issue, rights after december. the visit of the us ambassador to the government palace was neither unreasonable nor in favor of the country. it was to give the order to take the troops out to the streets and massacre my defenceless people. and incidentally, to leave the way clear for mining exploitation. peru is a key global producer of copper, silver and zinc. the mining sector mix up a significant part of the economy, accounting for some 10 percent of g d p. lena is also an export of liquefied natural gas, which shipments are heading to the e u. u. k and asian countries. latin america,

the u. s. is pursuing in asia. lighter miscalculation and the slightest misperception can lead to catastrophic results, particularly for the stability and security of the korean peninsula. and this is what south korea is trying to do is try to look for a middle ground in order to really alleviate the escalating situation. but at the same time, trying to spearhead areas where it would be more secure, so it does not want to escalate the situation further. but however, because of the reality on the ground, there's really not much of an option for south korea to do or for north korea and the other side. you have to understand that there is a significant inconsistency when it comes to us foreign policy, particularly in asia. so what we can expect is that is the grant in the grander scheme of things, you know, in asia, particularly us hopes to improve its image and strengthen the geopolitical position and effectively balance against china's rise. but given the current reality isn't of asian, politica

the u. s. department of justice earlier stated it has seized the assets of russian entrepreneurs amounting to more than $30000000.00. however, that is the tip of the iceberg, as washington has frozen the $300000000000.00 belonging to the russian central bank . i can april 2022 biden proposed a congress authorized felling assets the belong to russian citizens. however, a move like this does contradict us law, which does not the middle thirties to sell foreign property. well, let's cross live now to economists and political analysts. i'm joining us live on this program from moscow. great to see you today. so thanks so much for coming on the program, just straight off the top of your head. i mean, what do you think your opinion all this the seizure, the freezing and selling of russian assets when it does seem a bit like a well, a unilateral move by washington at the unit lateral move is very dangerous. in many senses. the most important thing is if you are not guaranteeing property ownership anym

and as for in the u. s. secretary of state, just days after an iranian military facility was attacked by drones to her and did not blame anybody officially. but there were careful reports in both american and israeli media that israel with the u. s. support may have been behind the so tag mcfall coming here to israel blinking sat and an interview that all options are on the table regarding the ran in friends including military. so very, very bowling moment. but i have to say that the ra tensions even closer blinking came to israel at the time of a major escalation and a dramatic tweet in these rally palestinian conflict that he himself called as circle of violence. america's top diplomats said that washington is committed to the idea of 2 state solution and that anything that contradicts this idea could be hung full to ease railey security in a long term and could damage change drills, identity as a democratic jewish state. he also said that both sides should work together, hard to try to de escalate the si

and would bring the u. s. to negotiate, alan, do you see the major push fact as being as res maria says, people escaping tara, getting away from a dictatorship? or is it the economic factors, the di, economic conditions that people are living and without hope of them improving in the near future? what is the major push back to that from cuba? there is no doubt that most of these are enormous migrants. i'd say all over latin america. and i mean, you know, here in britain we also have a massive increase in illegal immigration from people who want to improve their lives. now at the top of this, you have a price on someone talking about will have being on fire. but we should step back a little and say, well, who has the cuban house on via and the cuban house has been set on fire, as you said in your introduction, not just through the most comprehensive and longest engineering of sanctions of sanctions regime against one single country that the united states located against cuba. but since 2019, the trump administr

the u. s. federal reserve bank has been caught red handed, trying to toys the facts, as it clearly manipulated numbers and it's report focusing on global military spending. at 1st glance, the data seems to show that china spent more than $900000000000.00 on its military in 2021 which would far exceed the u. s. total of about 770000000000. but upon closer inspection, washington's defense budget is actually reflected on the right axis, while the military spending of china and other nations is shown on the left, which is a scale of much smaller numbers. now here is what the chart would actually look like for a proper and fair comparison. we can clearly see that washington spent the most on its military and 2021, totaling some $770000000000.00, leaving beijing in 2nd place at only $270000000000.00, which is more than 2 times lower. however, the u. i should spend even more on its war machine, at least that's according to an american military, industrial lobbyist who claims the country isn't ready fo

now other u. s. states have followed suit and pass laws regarding government devices issued at the state level. and now it appears that what we've been hearing from u. s. officials from media and from other voices in the united states. this claim regarding tick tock and it's supposed danger to national security. it's not exactly based in reality i, we're hearing that apparently the intelligence agencies didn't have any data on it themselves. they were simply following what was said by open sources and by media reports. but that hasn't stopped them from saying it we the f b. i do have a national security concerns about the app. it's a parent company is controlled by the chinese government. we've been warned repeatedly by our own intelligence agencies that takes hawk as a security threat. heck, the director of the f. b. i has testified under oath that tick tock poses major security risk. so i think everyone agrees are a privacy danger to america, to our national security. we shouldn't have the communi

the u. s. itself is reportedly also finalizing plans to send its abrams main battle tanks to ukraine. that decision is expected to be announced later this week. american officials have so far declined to share any details, rushes a master to the us as the move would show the world who is really the aggressor in ukraine. an analysis of the whole sequence of washington's actions demonstrates that the americans are constantly raising the bar of military assistance to their puppets. if the us decides to supply tanks, then justifying citrus that with arguments about defensive weapons will definitely not work. this would be another blatant provocation against russia. no one should have any illusions about who is the real aggressor in the current conflict. we claim president, please for even more western weapons, while calling his country a big business opportunity for our suppliers. we've got the details on how ukraine is turning into a testing ground for nato weapons, and the details of who is maki

the u. s. mer tickler for the attack given that they provided the weapons, knowing civilians could be targeted with them. and as you say, they share a details about what they're going to attack with washington. so how does washington defend itself from that charge? not at all. it's not the 1st time, and we know that the western media just talk about this. i remember nearly one year ago, mary. okay, when there was this well attached, whatever it was on this, on the birth hospital and some days, some weeks later there was to, to a text to a text on the hospital and don't ask the west. the media just didn't talk about it, it was a big show where they said, well, this where the russians and they have been to another another question, but they just don't talk about the west and media doesn't tell the people what's happening. and i'm sure that they will not get to know what's happening now, and this is the way it works. if this does emerge in the west, if this incident does gain traction, do you thi

the u. s. senate foreign relations committee held a hearing on thursday that kind of slipped under the radar in the mainstream press . but it's really a classic example of how washington decision makers get drunk on their own nonsense . and then just start trying to change the world. the subject of this hearing was countering russian aggression ukraine and beyond. and despite being with the democrats right now and victoria f e u newland, we'll get to that. the 2nd who's now serving at the state department as under secretary of state for political affairs in the biden administration. new and can't help but side with republican senator ted cruz. when it comes to being relieved that the nord stream to pipeline that was supposed to send russian gas into europe via germany was blown up center cruise up like you. i am. and i think the administration is very gratified to know that lord stream too is now as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea. that would be senator ted cruz repre

the u. s. secretary of say, also claims as country has been a force for peace in the region, seemingly forgetting washington's use of atomic bombs on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki at the end of the 2nd world war, killing hundreds of thousands and maybe many more. washington failed to apologize for the atrocities committed nearly 80 years ago. when we spoke to the vice president of the center for china and globalization, victor gao who says that re arming japan poses a danger to countries in the region. particularly when talk of nuclear weapons is involved it will be completely wrong for the united states to try to re lease the potential aggressive things of japan, which will be a curse to many countries in the asia pacific region. i would urge secretary law in austin to be very cautious when he uses any words involving on nuclear weapons. it is absolutely wrong for the country like the united states. talk about nuclear weapons, all using nuclear weapons against any country in t
