domesticate you that the deal could be ridge because clearly they were positive signs coming out of both the usaa and as well as well. what could we say? what has happened so many times before where we get close and then everything falls out of that. yes, we should be is hoping that the now they do a more realistic a it seems so because everybody's a is burying and the ministries, some of these very ministries both already have the request to prepare themselves a and i a for the people who come from guys, and they were not a be 100 percent. they shape for sure. they really need the daycare today. go the game day and taking the grosses and the so this is one of the signed the legacy signs that the system is preparing. give save a for the absorption of a, of the dozens of people who may a. com is the hostages. a, let's hope that this is the reality. and not the only rush for thinking of politically netanyahu has been against a deal for months, what, what's changed? so the, the, him, what is changing for him right now as well i, i don't good because you want to know what's changed and it done young

some mexico's prizes and begging them us to present, to invite him to stop funding in his country to usaa because he said they were funding opposition groups and the lives was this is in convention this, at the end of this country international. the us government, specifically through us a id, as for some time being financing organizations openly against the legal and legitimate government i represent. this is clearly an interventionist act, contrary to international law and relations, which should prevail between free and silver in states. something would say this is just the type of the iceberg, rachel, lab, usa, what's a look? they say? so our, this is, if i was promoting democracy in other countries, others would point out, didn't say no. this is a white raging change to face, but we'll see us won't have any time. let's trust alive now to international affairs. um security analysts marks the boat for his pick and want may on full market to see you. yeah, the us has proposed, we believe a temporary bond on foreign, a grounds which could apply to military assistance for ukraine, but not

the government has this will have the midst of the tone to any potential of usaa. meanwhile, south korea, as flights and downplay the weapons capability, countries on an inquiry, what we believe north korea was exaggerating the capabilities of its missile system, including the flight distance and 2nd, pico kind of according to the analysis by south korea to us in japan. the missile flew about 1100 kilometers and there was no 2nd peak. no, it wouldn't be difficult to use such systems in a relatively small territory like the korean peninsula possible they are right. the missile won't be used in south korea. there's no reason to use the missile like us and south korea. north korea has more than enough to reach sol, which is not far from the border and reach any other point and known as our current balance. so i guess wherever comes from, particularly from the south. now, on the other hand, as a deterrent as a strategic web. this is a very active, realistic weapon. this is a weapon system that can destroy, for example, the port facilities in guam and why don't we do is the main logistics spa

i mean, the usaa can go good uranium and aluminum anywhere else in the russia can sell it to you, right. and the and then a low and then anywhere else in the world. so it, you know, it's, it's more political theater here. you know, all these sanctions and talks about sanctions to make, to make it look like all of the you trumps getting tougher. right. and the whole idea as to when it, whatever deal he is able to a broker where the russian over ukraine at some point later in the area. now he'll kill, say, say i did it because i got tough for them. the top slash silence. so i'm calling so also here's ministrations earlier. this is a big, it was diplomacy with the key to resolving conflict. and there's also verizon, it's called many of the, especially since binding inputs and express his willingness to engage in dialogue. off of the new president said no, the ration us apples, left phone, cut out. karen quite cowski says thomas rush, stevens. well, he is ill informed. ready i think part of it is uh, just speak to the american population to let him know, you know, he's very aggressively try
