the world has promised. the american soldiers would be welcomed with open arms with flowers and with sweets. while a swift victory was guaranteed, we are in the square where the americans tore down the statue of saddam hussein. but what many people don't realize is that he was just yards away in the streets behind me. watching events unfold. bus loads of people were brought in to create the impression that it was ordinary iraqis that tore down the statue. it was to create the narrative that the people who supported the us led invasion as the us struggled with heavy losses private military contractors were brought in. but they, too were involved in war crimes in the atrocities against ordinary iraqis. civilian here in this whole square, one of the worst massacres took place at the hands of the notorious blackwater. private military company as they escorted to a u. s. military convoy the mercenaries. oh, on fire, killing 17 and wounding 20. either the word blackwater for me as a journalist is associated with s

i only want to say the 3rd world, but the world it's been prevented from developing and become modern for the past. matthew, i refer to it is the global majority. and because that's exactly what it is here, let me go back to andrew in, in hong kong. i guess what really gets american foreign policy people upset is that china is proposing piece around the world, you know, brokering day, you know, saudi arabia and iran. you know, that that was a tough one to do. the united states was not in a position to do it because it's huge of sides. china didn't choose aside. that's why we have a piece processed their potential piece process. put it that way. go ahead, andrew. well, i think that, dan, it's your politics a lot. usually dictated by philosophies as this dictated usually about a change of power. our power in them, you can all the power and to political power. and all of these dynamics are changing all the time. after the 2nd world war, of course, the only and largest and most powerful country. and i have been the united states and they were have been able to call the shots and, and they

or multi polar world . how would you explain or describe these terms to them and the consequences of each? well, i think it's an inexorable process that's happening before our eyes. so, when we're talking about a unipolar world, a perfect example would be though, the world economy, after world war 2, when the united states exercise almost complete control. i mean, certainly there was a trading going on back and forth. ah, you know, china with australia and russia and china and all you know, of all of these economies actually became integrated into the global economy. but, um, it was dominated by the u. s. and using new military force. and we now have about $800.00 bases around the world. another nation comes close to that. other u. s. military budget is approximately a 10 times aug, though that was more than the next 10 largest militaries in the world combined. and most of them are us. so that would be a perfect example of a unipolar world. the idea of a multi polar world is one. that is what we're seeing t

well, it will be a larger world and it will be an older world. i mean, this is the key thing to keep in mind. this process of demographic transition towards longer lives in smaller families, it brings 2 major changes. one is growth because the death rate tends to fall before the birth rate in our society is figure out how to keep people living longer saving children from premature death. and so forth, and that, that's what causes the growth is the decline of the death rate. eventually then societies figure out, well, we don't need to have as many children in that situation in order to keep in or just replace that generation to generation. and so the birth rate comes down as well. and in that, so, but in between those 2 changes, there's a period of growth. and so for the european countries in north america, the richer countries of the world, this happened, you know, a 100 years ago that we were in this period of growth, are really coming to an end of that period of rapid growth for asia and latin america. it happened much during the latter half of

, or the rest of the world, the majority of the world. you know how, how the long historical memory. and they know that the united states has been ripping off the world for the last 70 years. and john steinbach is sticking around to unpack more on this issue and coming up next nato way supposed to be a joint effort to combat the cold war against the soviets. but has that objective shifted to simply maintaining the u. s. lead world order? we'll discuss it when we return. that type ammo will be right back. ah ah ah ah, the cold war ended or so we thought when the world witnessed the fall of the soviet union and the to germany's re united that was in 1991 just before bill clinton came into power here in the us. but as more and more white house communications from that period become public, we learned that perhaps nato kept the cold war alive, at least mentally. i'm john steinbach is back to continue the conversation with us . and so john, ah, 9 countries are known nuclear powers. the us, russia, china, the u. k. france, india, pakistan, nort

well, we don't have a single religion in the world and different religions for different world views. and within different religions we have different sex. and therefore, just like at the beginning when i was talking about church, you know, when they say church and state should be separated, then they say therefore religion and state should be separated. which in a way, assumes this hierarchy, this, your central clarity hierarchy because the church in europe shouldn't be a part of the state. therefore, no religion should be a part of say, anywhere else in the world. because if, if it doesn't work in europe, obviously doesn't work anywhere else. that is implied that europe is superior. whether you're religious or secular in europe, your is. so even even the religion that you don't accept is somehow superior to all those other religions that you don't accept if you get what i'm trying to say. so the experience of the church in latin america, the experience of as far as in different parts of the world are different the different sacks of different use. so each different societies and com

during world war two of the --, others. but people didn't understand there was this similar holocaust that created victims of communism. and so that's the initial impetus. but this took so long because initially the foundation was focused on building a memorial and there's there's a memorial to the victims of communist them that is on on federal parkland. and we just celebrated the 15th anniversary of that memorial this past summer. and then we were building up educational programs over the years. and then the museum was always there as a dream and an aspiration. and needed money for it. and then we were able to research right. build and get everybody here designed, fabricate and and get it done for it. opened in june of 2022. how much? so don't have a full count on that yet because we are in a leased space and we need many, many more millions. so if any of your viewers would like to donate, please do so. but it was it was millions to do what we have here. i'm not sure of the exact amount, but i think probably around 10 mil

you are the only nation in the world that today uses almost all military technologies.ere are no armies anywhere at the moment. from poland, which already entered ukraine this week, even germany, which was criticized for its lack of haste, finally released the brakes on heavy weapons, anti- aircraft cheetahs of the air defense system airisti is almost one of the most important diplomatic achievements of ukraine on its front this year a whole division of diplomats worked endless contacts by western leaders at the beginning of the year the visit to kyiv looked like an incredible breakthrough once again the governments in poland, the czech republic and slovenia were the first to dare, but the real boom began after the visit of boris johnson on april 9, so far the visit of ukraine has become a necessary step for every european leader, it's like touching the symbol of freedom and confirming his commitment to the principles of a democratic world to kyiv by february of this year to kyiv until february of this year, look at all the world reports for about 15 years, exactly 16 t

through the crypto, certainly there's reparations throughout the world. and then lastly, with respect to credit suisse, we're talking about. ready to a different animal, i think it's just it's, it's a, it's coincidence of timing that credit suisse is coming under massive pressure at the same time as these regional backs. i mean, grant it, it's not go incidence in the sense that people are scared about their deposits because of what happened to the fail in the failure of std. so gate and signature that people start to get concerned around for a week. but chris reese, that's been floundering for a number of years now and there have been questions around credits with his ability to continue. they've had leadership changes. they've had a raft of scandals. and they've been skating on thin ice sort of say, for a long time now, this is just exacerbated the situation. but in terms of what the u. c. b is going to do. right? really related to credit suisse crates, which is a much, much larger institution by magnitudes of, you know, a couple times greater than these

we should be living in a more peaceful world. but the point that i'm trying to make is that despite all the sanctions and despite all the pressure under this system under this, under the credit constitution, that is religious. iran has had significant successes. and a lot of the problems that it has is because of sanctions, because of foreign pressure because of animosity from western countries. all right, we'll leave it right there. professor mohammed mirandi, thank you so much. so for all intents and purposes, it sounds like the policies arrive at decisions more based on exceptionalism, rather than religion these days. all right, that's going to do it for this weeks episode of modus operandi the show that dig deep in the foreign policy. i'm your host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning and we'll see you again next week to figure out the ammo ah march 20th 2003 u. s. army and its allies invaded iran. a minimum of 7. was it m b a made a was 2003, u. s. president george bush declared victory in the iraq war id. the project a

when the world was one, it was the, you know, end of nation states and one world government was here and of history. and they seem to still hold on to the delusion at that script still applies to the current age despite the fact that reality has completely changed from their ivory tower. and i think you see some signs of major infighting amongst different factions of oligarchical interest. right now we're some are saying, oh well maybe we should like live to fight another day to board this plan. i think the jeffrey sachs angle is, is playing a role in that. and then on other angles, you have the more fanatical neil con drive of just, you know, we can do nothing but what we're program to do, which is had gemini with no negotiation. and that's scary. it's a very, very proud of, that's how we end the program. it's scary, it's certainly as gentleman, it's all the time we have a want to thank my guests and toko houston and in hong kong, and want to thank our viewers for watching us here in our tea. see you next time and remember, ross stuck rules ah ah ah. i had to miss the phone with me,

the most influential and most productive nation in the world. understandably proud of this preeminence. we yet realize that america's leadership impressed deeds depend not merely upon our unmatched material progress, riches and military strength, but on how we use our power in the interest of world peace and human, better. throughout america's adventure in bringing government, our basic purposes have been to keep the peace, to foster progress in human achievement, and to enhance liberty, dignity and integrity among peoples that among nations to strive for less would be unworthy of a free and religious people. any failure traceable to arrogance or our lack of comprehension or readiness to sacrifice would inflict upon us grievous hurt, both at home and abroad. progress toward these noble goals persistently threatened by the conflict now engulfing the world it commands our whole attention absorbs are very beings we face a hostile ideology, global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in unhappily the danger it poses pr

we keep hearing these terms, multiple charity, the end of the unipolar world, order, the whole new world multiple, well this, that, and the other keeps on going. every week we've got foreign ministers coming to moscow . they're not coming to moscow. the going to beijing. we're saying all these, these strategic partnerships happening with the see of the bricks i see on the global south. i mean, you know, the whole idea for the past year has been the isolation of russia. and yet when it's actually done, it kicked off a string of new developing partnerships and some of the most g o. strategically important parts of. busy the world jackie, tell us about the importance of the brick alliance which your country is a member of nash, lucy. i think her brakes is an addition to a number of interventions and developments that point to a minute global and international of forces economically. and i think there's also been a realization on the part of wrestles what that's for too long. russia has been utilized effective as the beauty of north america and western years. and so i think there's a realize

he wanted his own superpower to show the country to the world, the third world, and in urmia, america, syria , america is good. iraqi operational north and stealth and or with the shape of the safa atom and it doesn't work. it's very clear that we should do something. the british flag, 106 esperances, for escorting ships , are under the contract of france and france, which belonged to iran itself, but iran had already paid for them before the revolution . to break the authority of iran, france put scorpion. lasalle fox kit super tanker oil tanker. this is the name of these. they are the ones that you want me to take from here. you are in maritime reconnaissance from close up . when the political and military officials go to the imam together, the first convoy is coming here to camp. what day do i have? i wish. i want. say that if the caravan goes safely, what should we do with a broken branch? the imam said, "well , the political officials said that the political issues are behind this, the international politics of the quran, and what should we do ?" boiling water will pass in the ne

the world had been poisoned. we were right on the edge of a battlefield and all the instruction was still there. and the prisoners of war, prisoner of war, camp were assigned to help these french rebuild trying to rebuild. and you would go into the homes of these families and there they would have sitting down with reading with them what food they had, sharing with a prisoner or the german who had been helping him. and you would say, but this is a this is a prisoner. this is a german, this is your enemy. and would very germans are bad people, but not this war. he's exploitation. so i saw what happened when people were put and working together and i came to realize how much the people were exploited by the government that was sent into the area and we saw what starvation was. you can't imagine. it's like in the first world war, germany not destroyed, but they were starved as everywhere. food was stolen everything honestly was no food. you can't imagine what it was like. you see a big crowd looking in at a window,

world cup. but the decision has been made. let's pray for the burst of any of my good. yeah. so that when i and let's fix our football 1st, there are a lot of problems we face in our football association. let's do it needs to be done for our football lab, or what the label seaver port, the wall cuts on the horse mission, indonesia, following protests against israel. als participation. israel qualified last june, quite sports ever under 20 world. come. but the protest here in jakarta erupted only 2 weeks ago, demanding that israel not be allowed to, but it's a mean it was all triggered by the governor of bali asking the government not to invite israel al, to their bali stadium, indonesia and israel al, do not have formal diplomatic allegiance and support for the palestinian cause and the world's most populous muslim enjoy. the nation runs high experts now fear that the clash of politics and sport has jeopardized the entire countries reputation as host to big events. gallagher, m is that is about

around the world, into poll and unesco. the united states has enacted legislation that criminalizes and bands the trade of iraqi antiquities. who have urged european countries to enact a similar act in order to impose strict controls and laws to band the trade of looted antiquities from rock. we've heard many other stories about the u. s. invasion of iraq to mark this grim, i've mostly say with us for more human interests. so is, and all the details about the lunch campaign throughout the day. well, that's all for this new segment. option rental fee is up max on going underground annually, but at the top of the out ah .

the world's trade covers 75% of the world's population and the area of ​​the planet, that is, all thebers are very astronomical numbers, but it is clear that the dialogue group is an international organization that has an organization and has a binding legal executive power. anyway, in this recent meeting of issues the war zones of ukraine have been placed and by stating that it should be agreed upon by the united states, the european union, russia, china and at least the countries, and there was no agreement on the content of the statement because the united states and western countries were trying to condemn the phone in this proposal. omid 20 wanted the voice of the southern countries to be in the 20 meeting, but due to the prevailing atmosphere of conflict caused by the war in ukraine, where the western countries were completely against russia, of course, russia and some other countries did not accept this point of view. do the criticism that the group entered the club of great powers and emerging powers , you can find this group of developing countries, weak countries, war in ukr

us leadership around the world, based on america's increasing leadership around the world. long changed at us leadership around the world. every country on the continent is different, has different needs and, and different expectations of american leadership. that's the power of american convening leadership. what they're trying to do, which is basically challenge american leadership. but no matter how many times kirby says is a large part of the world see things differently. this is become more evident after chinese president changing paintings, landmark meeting with president vladimir putin in moscow. walker g, that chinese russian ties have gone far beyond bilateral relations, over the last 10 years, and a crucial and vital importance for today's world order. a relationship is built on contributing to the progress of mankind were guided by the principles and the un charter. and it did to an unbiased view, were always ready for peace in dialogue. we firmly stand on the right side of history. the main cause concern for the u. s. and was described as the west worth nightmar

here and all around the world.as americans, we know there are times when we must step and accept our responsibility to lead the world away from the dark chaos of dictators, toward the brighter promise of a better day. almost 50 years ago, we began a long struggle against aggressive totalitarianism. now we face another defining for america and for the world. there is no one more devoted, more committed to the hard work of freedom than. every soldier and sailor, every marine, airman and guardsmen, every man and woman now serving in the persian gulf gulf. know how they deserve deserve. and. and and. what a fitting tribute them. to see. what a wonderful fitting tribute to them. each of them has volunteered. volunteered to provide for this nation's defense. and now they bravely struggle to earn for america, for the world and for future generations, a just and lasting peace. our to them must equal to their commitment to their country. they are truly america's finest and. the war in the gulf is not a war we wanted. we wor

what kind of world information platforms should be fought and not just offended, this is a fact .act is that keeping the focus of attention for a year is already a great achievement. therefore now it will be much more difficult to simply applaud for the exit of the president of ukraine, we will not have to fight for every platform . and i emphasize that this year, despite the fact that there was a documentary, a good film co-produced with sweden, denmark, germany , finland, house of chips, but the film nominated by ukraine is not or presented by the oscar committee of ukraine, it did not get the klondike nomination. therefore, it was necessary to focus on supporting real films that could win. this should have been done, including house of chips. i did not i remember that he was like this, he had such support and publicity at all levels, it was necessary to do it or take the same film by athinivskyi friedman fay freedom in fire , that is, from a very film that could absolutely win in a mass film, so what can we say, we must act and i must once again tell you to understand that the

own trading post colonies there all over the world, and so he is the world certainly now.tion is global. she dictates that china hmm must rely on an ally who will cover if necessary. you and the resource rear, because really now that's what else ms. gynecologist said, that 98% of rare land metals, europe comes from china, this should be put an end to, therefore, australia plays such a key role not only in the pacific nato well, in this eight of economic nato, because here , in fact, a military military bloc and economically will be hand in hand, respectively, because of australia they will go , rare earth metals. instead of chinese, respectively, therefore, australia receives nuclear submarines as a privilege. and this is the same not notorious. the spread of atomic weapons is already here again, two powerful blocks of confrontation and poles of confrontation are invested, respectively, on the one hand, europe on the other hand, southeast asia , that is, respectively, eurasia, the eurasian continent as an anti-anglo-saxon mood and , accordingly, such an octopus in the form

world pride is in town. god save the queen!ld pride is kind of a touring jamboree held in a different place every other year, and, for some, sydney is the perfect host. it's going to be the queerest, biggest celebration of pride we have ever experienced in australia. you think mardi gras is big? this is mardi gras on steroids. it's so free. yeah? yeah, like, i've only been in sydney for a couple of years. _ i came from tasmania, - so sydney's pretty awesome. it's just nice to see everyone out and about celebrating, even friends that aren't in the community. just everyone gets together for it. 45 years ago, what we call our "'78ers", in 1978, a group of people marched on the streets and protested for equality. a lot of people were brutally attacked. a lot of people were put in jail. from then was, really, the start of our first public pride movement in 1978, which has now turned into our sydney gay and lesbian mardi gras parade. this is the first time that a world pride's taken place in the southern hemisphere. so i say to peopl

multi buller world, world court styled to defend seriously they, they had religious i did to the end. death is impossible under a global global dominance of the eligibility. plaza ah, technological technol, century technocratic wester of western had gemini, is incompatible with his lamb. so islam are finally after our week to re, will become the real player on the global scale, the not regional divide it and manipulated by the west. saw all the reasons for all muslims in the world to support ration, rick, to regard it because it will be they are victory immediately. the same for all, for the same was true for i lettered america, and the same is true for africa, but i don't think that they could seriously ah, help us. ah, meantime, before we uh, we can get this victory. so everybody really use the results are objective results of the rectory, but nobody will help us in the critical way. so it is very, very, very particular. is it ation? we should win ourselves and only winning. we're laying on, oh ah, our own powers. the other will build our side we in this war we are fighting as well

secondly, there is a major change in general, the geostructures of the world are collapsing the world and many countries of the world are well aware that they are now betting on the west at the head of the united states, this outgoing is futile. and civilization is the outgoing leaders, uh, no matter how relations develop now. they will no longer remain the economic financial political e leaders of the world. in addition , cooperation with them is simply dangerous. well, if you use this, well, maybe throw them slang, it doesn’t cost anything to deceive , betray, break, uh, this word, and therefore u country not the west are looking for partners for themselves. uh, in uh, other regions of the world. and in this sense, our country behaves perfectly, uh, adequately folding the situation and directing the vectors of its foreign policy movement, uh, other regions of the world, except for the west , this is really africa . this is china, the middle east, and i think that this is a strategically correct orientation. well, in general, including andrey evgenievich, you will agree even in journ

speaks the world listens. when we act the world follows, who we are the world wants to be. it does not have to be troops on the ground. it doesn't have to be money. just saying things as america is leadership. if you are not even willing to call out the country that killed somebody people around the world, then where is the leadership? other countries are waiting to condemn them. they want to see us do it first. >> under the biden demonstration, this is a great topic, again i hear this from so many folks across the state of iowa. very important issue to us. under the biden administration the southern border has turned into a national security and humanitarian crisis. i have been working in the senate to crackdown on the cartels. you just talked about the epidemic of fentanyl. we need to see that the flow of fentanyl and human trafficking is stopped. what are the three steps he believed we could take today. not only to secure the border, but also address the fentanyl crisis. that is not only killing americans along the border. but, killing our men, women, children right here

it's already fading around the world. people are pushing it out, there is nothing in the united states economy is one 3rd of the work, the economy at the, at the time when the populations buy from sun. i said whether you agree with us politics or disagree with them, like them don't like them until we meet here in the seventy's, the diminishing and it's going to be yes. that would be something more and more with that. but that doesn't mean that we are going to part of a sudden with a push button. disregard the, the, the relation with the united states. well, us national security and intelligence expert melvin goodman phase washington pushed saudi arabia closer to china, being an unreliable partner. goodman, who previously worked as an analyst for the cia on the state department, made those comments to journalist option returns on his show going underground. do you can watch the full episode here saturday.
