china's assistance, its diplomatic assistance to russia, its military assistance to russia and its economic assistance to russia is indispensable to the conduct of the war on russia's part, and we could go into the details if you all wish, but with respect to taiwan, one of the things of course that we don't know, in fact, but we can speculate is that china is learning the lessons of russia's combat against ukraine in ukraine more than simply as we do reading the morning papers. one would guess that china is intensively briefed by the russians of the conclusions they draw. of course, china will have its own view of that, but the battlefield experience that the russian armed forces have had, especially from the syrian civil war onward, is indispensable to an army, military force which is not fought in decades. so lessons learned must be an important dimension of china's interaction with russia as the war progresses. just one other point about russia and china and the war, it's striking to us that despite the fact that china has paid a price in europe obviously for the war and china's support of russia, despite t

russia, russia is a poor teens. concern of a many, many years has been the approach of, of nato towards the russian border. so the border that he was talking about between your train and well as he was saying, is that border towards russia. is that going to be a border between nato and russia, between the european union and russia, that's or what's on the table, and it's a very, very complex situation. you know, as you speak, it makes me realize we do have something from zalinski on nato. let's pause and listen to what he had to say just moments ago or. but our army alone is not enough to and we need what you can provide weapons, training sanctions, financing, political pressure, and unity team. 3 years or full scale war have proven that we already have the foundation for a united european military force. and now, as we fight this war and lay the ground water for peace and security, we must build the forces of your so that your future depends only on your opinions and decisions about your are made in your of course it's only theory, but something like this may very well be necessary in pressing when you are the leader of ukraine. but the question is all about practicality here, because as you know, the us just days ago

ever accept the sort that the sort of conditions that will impose because the russia will impose beca'a'se the that russia russiak this isjust not going ending the war. so i think this is just not going to end any is just not going to end in any satisfactory way at all. we have the _ satisfactory way at all. we have the us _ satisfactory way at all. we have the us envoy - satisfactory way at all. we have the us envoy in kyiv today. is it for him today. is it possible for him today. is it possible for him to smooth over of the to smooth over any of the ruffled feathers, �* do you see ruffled feathers, or do you see this as a visit that won't bring anything? well, it depends- _ bring anything? well, it depends. if— depends. if kellogg brings ukraine and europe into the discussions then there is possibilities, but at the moment you have and the over the heads of . overnment overnment involved. so think it is unlikely. i think it is unlikely. other principles. _ i think it is unlikely. other principles, do _ i think it is unlikely. other principles, do you - i think it is unlikely. other principles, do you think. i

[video] >> we are at a critical moment. as the were approaches its third anniversary, our message is clear. the bloodshed must stop. this war must end. president trump has been clear with the american people and many of your leaders. stopping the fighting and reaching an enduring peace is a top priority. he intends to end the war by diplomacy and bringing both russia and ukraine to the table. the u.s. department of defense will help achieve this goal. we will only end this devastating war and establish a durable peace by coupling ally strength with a realistic assessment of the battlefield. we want, l

they will come up with alternative resources because neither russia, neither china nor russia, they work through ngos the ground both russia and china, they work through state to state channels. if ngos are involved, they are geos in the name only. they are. the good news. they are the government organized, non-governmental organizations. there are fewer of those that russia works with mostly in serbia and a handful of other locations. but still all of that funding is strictly controlled by the state and china also works through the government channels. yes so it is going to affect now that you brought it up, i think it's going to have a trickle down effect on civil societies in those countries. so there will not be really competition, but definitely an effect will be felt on that duration of the civil society and non-governmental organizations that traditionally received funding from u.s. embassies or field offices have shifted about, yes. yes. yeah, didn't even think about it, but i think that is one of the trickle down effects that may potentially, um, that we may potentially observe. and if i can follow up on that ques

russia cannot fill in that gap. i found in my search that sometimes the volume is less significant in terms of getting at the desired outcomes than just being there. i will use an example of russia that i looked very, very closely russia's aid is like a drop in the ocean of assistance. russia has done it so strategically, placed in the areas where either the united states will be scaling back its assistance or really strategically countering what the united states has done. just a perception of russia and china being somewhere back in the country at the time of the united states departure has a very, very significant impact in terms of this country is supporting china's russia foreign policy and this country is allowing china to have access or place investments into the strategic areas that they would not have otherwise allowed them to place their investments into. so, again, it is the timing. when the countries find themselves in the dire situation when this vacuum is filled, even resources coming considerably less, what they would have gotten from the united states. it is how it is perceived and how it is framed by china, by russia is what it will have an impact on the foreign policies. so, that is first and again i d

russia. russia killed a. can you tell us what we did today? we're going to a digital story next present that will only walk you in. and we the injection this to say yeah, good, the beautiful what do you say sweetheart? is wonderful and beautiful and breath taking the same time. here we are. happy to be here. i was working for red hat during the time that we were looking at moving to russia. i didn't know what i was going to do for work when i got here, but i had some ideas for remote work and this sort of thing. and then i got here and then finally realized, no, this was not feasible to do so. i started looking for a job opportunities while i was waiting for replies to my c, v, i decided to start a youtube channel about our family life. and roger maybe as rick florine. hi, briefly everybody. i thought you might like a little introduction to our family coming side. so finding a house is not the problem. finding somebody who will read you is a completely different problem. here's clay to. she's a 2nd. notice i know there is definitely in understandably, there is paperwork that's involved with renting, especially to foreigners. this is my internet. oh, the only thing employees. oh, and many people don't want to do that paper work and i understand you just want somebody to pay you money to live. there's. this is just tony right. 3 to us 3 me. so it takes, i think, a lot of

and so russia accounts you talk to russia, you negotiate with russia, you under make sure there is an understanding with russia, ukraine, unfortunately for trump, for personal reasons, and political we is, is a historical reasons. it does not count for him. so these, these early talks are definitely about the bilateral relationship, which is, which is good because we have to do that before we can find out what's, what the ukranian people deserve. which is, please note that it's a neutral piece. it is a piece that doesn't threaten anyone, a piece that is profitable, you know, in fact, you know, we, we know pieces profitable. it really is where we talk about how much money you can leave. only a few people make money for more peace. everyone becomes wealthy in a peaceful fit, and by and you know, care, you know, care, and after all of the bloodshed and all of the violence, there is the, the, there is no hatred of ukrainians, and russian russians don't hate ukrainians. okay. you're with a us a id help, ukranian spread, russo phobia around the world. but after everything that's been the la

and huge, huge boulder and the we are now you bring us are now a talking russia, russia very deep into its territory. and just russia would shoot, you should be worried because it has a huge territory, but this territory is really, really unprotected. so again, i mean. busy don't think speak ukrainian school retreats. don't think that you bring us will give up just because some statements of some of big political leaders . it's a razor is, is you're going to have to pay for all of this. in the end, reconstruction funds on supplies. peacekeepers, the americans don't seem to be wanting. want to be involved the toll. so what leverage what your path is, if it's the one that's got a for the bill at the end of all of this. well, that's the big question. that's what the europeans are horrified about. they want everyone to come in to pay. they want multiple countries to where is there? uh, you, in peacekeepers perhaps uh, showing up in ukraine. so with all these facts and details need to be worked out. it's early days. we don't know, we don't have anything yet from the trump administration on that. so that is something, you

remember the russia, russia, russia! it's gone. >> judge jeanine: i think they gave up.st their credibility. they know that the american people didn't buy into it. they know there was no want to sell it to anymore. i think what is amazing about this, both you and jessica reference it, you know, you've got prime minister from japan, and then we had netanyahu earlier in the week. got modi coming in from india and then you've got president trump, who is talking about a relationship with north korea. you know, this is a president who believes in talking. he believes in having discussions with leaders of foreign countries. because you can't just shut down the world the way joe biden did. he didn't talk to anybody. he didn't even go to the g20 photograph, didn't go to the dinners. he went to bed. it was just crazy. and, you know, i spoke to ric grenell today, and i talked to him about what happened and how he got those prisoners back from venezuela, and he said simply talking. there was no money exchanged. there was no prisoner exchange. you know, maduro, we went there and sai

russia and at worst is and has long been a russian recruit. and look, i get that is easy to dismiss all of that as nothing more than russia, russia, russia, hyperbolesly dismiss, just like they dismiss the mueller report and the first trump impeachment over strong arming ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky. but seriously, but seriously, you can't tell me that if ronald reagan were to rise from the grave tomorrow and read what donald trump, a republican president, said, that he wouldn't be stunned and think he was anything but a putin flunky. today, trump flew into an online rage at zelensky because he dared to call out one of his lies. he wrote a long screed on his social media that read like a russian propaganda sheet, accusing zelensky of being a dictator without elections, a point that putin, who's been in office for 24 years, literally made on january 28th when he called zelensky illegitimate in an interview with russian media just a few days before he spoke to trump directly. days after that call, defense secretary and former weekend fox host pete hegseth and vice president jd vance capitulated in advance while on european soil to every sin

the media is back to its russia, russia, russia hysteria. ays and whether or not it's part of his deal making. your reaction. >> well, president trump campaigned on a pledge to end the war in ukraine as quickly as a possible, so it's not surprising to see that he's working to a negotiated peaceful set element there. we had -- settlement there. we had a lot of people who claimed to be adults in the room who were willing to have a measurable casualties in this war, hundreds of millions of our taxpayer dollars without europe doing much to support their own defense or weighing many at the level they should. so i think trump is negotiating this seriously and is explaining that, you know, with all this money, this being a proxy war that we are engaged in, that we do have quite a bit of say on wanting to end this on as good and favorable terms as possible. maria: right. and those terms could include putin getting more territory. nobody wants to see a bully win, so what's your take in terms of who's getting the upper hand here? >> well, this is a ver

caller: russia should stop attacking them. russia started the work. russia should pack up and go back home. host: how do you get russia to do that? caller: you continue to fight them as long as they are being attacked. like if somebody came into your home and taking over your home. lay down your arms, i'm taking over your home. your life belongs to mina. -- your wife belongs to me now. host: let's see what pete has egseth said about the administration's approach. [video] >> we are at a critical moment. as the were approaches its third anniversary, our message is clear. the bloodshed must stop. this war must end. president trump has been clear with the american people and many of your leaders. stopping the fighting and reaching an enduring peace is a top priority. he intends to end the war by diplomacy and bringing both russia and ukraine to the table. the u.s. department of defense will help achieve this goal. we will only end this devastating war and establish a durable peace by coupling ally strength with a realistic assessment of the battlefield. we want,

russia that i look very, very closely. russia aid is like like a e ocean. russia has done it so strategically, placing it in the areas where the trend will be like scaling back its assistance for like -- something in the united states has done. again it is a perception of russia and china being somewhere back in the countries in need of the type of the united states departure has a very, very significant impact in terms of countries supporting china's and russia's foreign policy. these countries allowing china to have access or placed investments into the areas they would have otherwise allowed them to place their investments into. so again it is the tiny, when the countries find themselves in a dire situation and win this thank yous filled, if the resources that are considerably less than what they would of got from the united states. again, it is how it is perceived and how it is framed by china, by russia, is what it's going to have an impact on these countries foreign policy. so that's first. and again i do think china will benefit from the united states, even

russia. this time, there's na cloud over his russia cloud over his administration. but he also said that he stop the war said that he would stop the war ukraine and on between ukraine and russia ukraine and russia on day its two weeks in day one, and its two weeks in and still strong. and it's still going strong. and what reaction are you seeing playing out in -.. . ito . ”7 7 itotrump'songoing washington to trump's ongoing comments about he wants the comments about how he wants the us to take over gaza?— us te take eeeféaea? . -.-. not us te take eeeféaea? . wwww not seen us te take eeeféaea? w wwww not seen as serious us te take eeeféaea? w wwww n that an as serious us te take eeeféaea? w wwww n that we're serious us te take eeeféaea? w wwww n that we're more us us te take eeeféaea? w wwww n that we're more likely us te take eeeféaea? w wwww rover we're more likely “ us te take eeeféaea? w wwww r over leefer�*fte likely “ take over greenland and the canal over panama canal than take over gaza. this is not what americans voted for, or his supporters. his supporters are isolationist, they more isolationist, and they were tired of 20 years �*war were tired of 20 years of war i

russia to keep the pace. for example, here in the next region. so they have been the, they have been completely deaf to the latest. well, it to the latest pools by russia to at least say something to a police, condemn, and at least quote for say, an independent probe into the discovery, into the revelations made by russia and into the discovery that the russian troops have made in those care. but each now, but so far again, everything has felt as full and on death fee is. yeah, the lack of response by the wes this very different say when we've seen similar allegations being, let me the game slash it. can you just tell us more about those? indeed silence is quite deafening here and especially goes uh it is in very style contrast as to what we hear from the west when you, craig, it's uses russia of doing something as horrific as, uh that the russians are accusing key of all. now, for instance, back in march and 2022 as rushes as the russians live. i didn't know if it's didn't volt uh, back when uh, the tubes between russia and ukraine was still a thing. uh they, they left the cube region and in the small town of butcher, just outside of the ukrainian capital, the ukrainians have said that they found bodies of civilians shows up in the streets and they choose rush over century mass murdering ukrainian civ
