are now not enemies, they will say, now russia is never considered by china as a full-fledgedlet's say in terms of status, yes, a partner , that is, russia, before the invasion of putin's politics, it could claim to be a pole of attraction for a certain number of countries, and china, in principle, supported the attack on russia. yes, if it did something to be a pole of attraction for those countries that would even central europe, yes, and of course the post-soviet space, now putin has destroyed it all and china is actually revising its strategy, now it understands that if er russia has lost a lot, it is on the contrary making it worse because it just started, putin started this er war and thus deprived china of peaceful peaceful development, and that is, deprived china of existence. that is , you er war of russia against ukraine is the same challenge for china as the challenge from the united states, but completely different let's say so, and he should respond to this accordingly, understood. thank you , mr. oleksiy oleksiy koval, an international journalist. which member of

, that is, china helps russian the diplomatic front, when china adheres to it, everyone else adheres to it and what china says you know well, okay, russia says that it wants peace and rank says that it does not supply us with drones, and the north in russia, more precisely, drones, and north korea says that it does not negotiate with russia about supplying them with missiles. so you don't believe them, and the chinese are basically the same as iran , russia and north korea, only he is higher in level, that is, he is the main one there, if you can say so, and precisely financially thanks to china, iran , russia and north korea are still surviving diplomatically thanks to china, and russia, iran, and north korea are surviving because they are at un meetings. look at the voting every time questions are brought up about these countries. china abstains because chinese words and the words of sidzempin are the same lies and propaganda as well as the words of his three partners, allies or proxies. thank you for, as always

the u.s., japan, china, russia, north korea and south korea. china hosted those talks and they signed on to u.n. security council resolutions against north korea. that is no longer the case. china is not willing to cooperate on north korea. in fact, if anything we are seeing the china, russia, north korea axis coming together, he could hearing even more closely -- cohering even more closely together with the events in ukraine, with these north korean launches and with the chinese activities and exercises across the taiwan strait. host: we're talking with victor cha about north korea. please dial in this morning, we divide the lines, republicans, democrats and independents. you can also text us, include your first name, city and state. victor cha, describe the internal political situation in north korea right now. guest: so, you know, this is a country that's just been ruled by one family since 1945. the kim family. kim el sung, the first leader. now kim jong un, the third leader of north korea. it is a totalitarian system. there's no freedom of

one month, china imported liquefied natural gas from russia. more than half of those shipments came from that terminal. -- terminal in the arctic. china's arctic ambitions, this was its goal in trying to obtain a strategic foothold in greenland. it does not end with the economy in trade. been trying to buy them in the -- a military base. 2016, try to move again. it should be deep concern to everyone in america today. officials warned of heightened espionage there. ccp has deep strategic mode tensions in the arctic. where are the tools that america has and what should our priorities be respect this? we started this right. we did not complete it. we hosted military exercises with our partners. we built our icebreaker fleet. created new senior military buzz for arctic affairs. increased american security and readiness in the arctic. i appreciate the fact that the biden administration to do so. there was when we left and remains today a great meal -- a great deal more to be done. america needs to step up. even as the arctic council is suspended, we

help us understand the complex political intricacies of china and russia. a has declared that it will support russia under the leadership of putin. what does this show? well, really. it was one of the phrases from the speech of the chinese minister of foreign affairs . he supports china, if you can quote it so clearly, that he supports russia under the leadership of putin in internal matters, yes. that is, there was no talk of china’s support for russia’s aggression, in fact, on the website of the russian ministry of foreign affairs - this conversation is presented with the phrase that china supported russia in the ukrainian issue yes, in solving the ukrainian issue, in fact, in the chinese version it is written that er supports putin's russia in rallying and leading the russian people to overcome difficulties and eliminate disturbances of some kind internal achievement of strategic goals of development and further affirmation of the status of russia as a great power, because the quote from russia, er, sounds in chinese and it does not say anything concrete,

are you surprised that china is above russia on this list? >> no, victor, i'm not. i think over the long-term which is what these strategic planning documents have a tendency to focus on, china is undoubtedly the much greater threat because it is a rising power with much more power, more capability than russia has. russia is a failing power. russia is a diminishing power. it's becoming more any diminish every day they continue to fight the ukrainiukrainians. when we talk about weapons, i think the focus is the primary risk on china is yet another emphasis that this administration has not -- does not believe that there is any indication yet that russia is interested in using nuclear weapons because if there were strong indications of that, there might be a change in that national security document. >> yeah. colonel, these two challenges, russia and china are not happening completely separate from one another. obviously what happens in ukraine is potentially impacting what china does related to taiwan, but just draw the line for us of how one challenge influences the o

and therefore neglect russia here, they simply cannot even a weakened russia, even russia, which has framed chinarussia, which has demonstrated its weakness and look, there were these valdai monologues of putin , and the expert who talked to some of you in front of you said that all this rhetoric and all these anti-western theses were from putin, they were aimed precisely at such countries as india and china, who said, let's give up let's do something together. let's do something, well, in fact, give up what these countries have in the west and somehow start cooperating more fruitfully with russia . how about in china, they treat such calls positively? really does not leave hopes of forming some kind of coalition where it would play an important role that would oppose the west, that would gather ukraine, which has its own problems with the unipolar world and the dominance of america in the world, as they see it, and that is why they are trying, well to really rally around such an anti-western opinion. well, it is in the global south, let's say . it is very widespread, where in general it is perce

between the countries amounted to 750 billion dollars, which is five times more than between china and russia will block access to the technologies and finances of the western world, moreover, china understands that its army is not ready today. and the example of the failed russian invasion of ukraine further illustrates the ineffectiveness of the military tool. putin, why should they do this ? and i think that the nearest g20 forum, so jakarta in indonesia, in november will already give, well , conditionally speaking, public confirmation that china and the united states agreed among themselves and this actually means that they will share the legacy of the russian federation, this fragment of the evil empire at the beginning of the russian invasion. china officially adheres to neutrality, but in the west this position is considered rather to play along with the kremlin. russia, when after his re-election for a third term, his hands will be untied, there are already markers of such negative participation of china in russia's war against ukraine. north korea's initiatives north korea is a count

china. we have fallen behind russia and especially china as a pentagon to weapons a supply of time over the largest defense spending. the world is at a disadvantage when it comes to 5 to speak with hello and welcome to international growth. are seeing life from moscow. just past the hour, i'm at where i to mommy. let's take a look at today's top stories. we start with the updates from the conflicts ukraine, relentless shelling of the center russians diversity by quinn and forces killed, one civilian and left 6 others injured in last 24 hours. the local administrative office and a bank in the city center have been severely damaged early on thursday. shockwave from the shilling shattered windows and nearby buildings and scattered glass and shrapnel at the administration site. theater has come shortly after they put in declare martial law in the full new territories. that recently joined russia. the russian president says the decision to impose was a little comes in response to terrorist threats from ukraine. meanwhile, on the other side of the front line, a raise cyrus have, sanity course. so

russia. now, china and russia are so different. china is the emergent power and russia is declining power. obama and president obama said it is no more than regional power -- in 2014 he said that. the china benefit from the post-covid war air -- the relationship with russia was weakened by the process. and also, even china wanted to promote a cooperation in partnership -- not alliance, china never use the term alliance with russia partnership with russia. china cannot -- offer it at the expense of a new country -- the eu is the largest trading partner with china -- surpassing our country the final data has not been released yet. but particularly china did not want to see that the block -- policy back to cold war but having said that, chinese leadership has not condemned russia. or the invasion. because china their view is if you want to condemn you should also condemn nato's eastern extension. but most importantly, chinese leaders feel that they do not want to see russia a delay defeated by nato and the united states. why? because if that happens, the next one will be you, china. >> like to

that is , it is about 40% of all chips that russia currently receives from china. to be defective and not working. yes, this is also interesting. not at large factories that have been stopped, and russia may also buy these fakes from some small companies, and they produce a low-quality product, and now there is a problem, this is the internal consumer of news in in china, ordinary chinese people who little by little are starting to change their opinion and their attitude towards these events, and the term that this is really a war is gradually being introduced, they have influence from within the chinese on e-e in the company of china and can they push the chinese government to some kind of more public e public- changes in public rhetoric in this conflict because the authorities form in- if they see that the people start saying something wrong, they began to correct these narratives because they are advancing drop by drop about the fact that this is still a war, it can only be with a further compartment, yes, that is, you understand, i will say. maybe our viewers do

ukraine has put pressure on countries that may have been ready to align themselves with russia. shortly before the war, china and russia declared that there were no limits to their strategic partnership . but so far, there is little evidence that china is willing to break western sanctions on russia . but russia and china is growing bonds under the leadership of food. and then she does appear to have one water tice element from joint opposition to a us lead global order. beijing, under she jan, paying has seen her as allied in their common resentment of the united states and the u. s. at global leadership, as, as a superpower, and what they see as interference in their domestic, internal affairs, criticism of their political systems, pressure to change their economies address, human rights, et cetera. and so that alignment is probably gone further than most expected. china may want the united states to stay out of business, but the reality is the 2 countries economies are deeply entangled. despite detentions of recent years, which saw the country slap tariffs on each other goods from china and the us remain

and its allies have become increasingly reliant on china and russia also range of sectors. at the same time, china and russia are using their economic leverage to coerce democracies into giving into their political demands. the question before us today is how the united states and its allies can better respond to these challenges. congress has a vital role to play in shaping that response and we are delighted that congressman michael mccaul is here to discuss this crucial subject matter. the -- center recently released two reports exploring these issues. the first report entitled "democratic trade partnership, ally shoring to secure supply chain" which proposes a framework for the u.s. and allies to ordinate against economic challenges posed by revisionist take autocracies. the second publication, " democratic technology alliance edge that favors freedom," proposes a new body through which democracies can better cooperate to lead on developing advanced technologies and norms consistent with democratic values. we are grateful to be joined today by dr. matthew crane egg, actin

, and russia declares even more close and even more honest, which means ties with chinais? is an alliance possible, who is russia for china? for ukraine and whether china treats russia in general how to really get a partner china always defends and will defend its national interests first of all because it has far-sighted goals of the revival of the nation e.e. the restoration of the role and place of china in international and world relations, therefore russia is a temporary and tactical partner on this historical at this stage, china can simply take advantage of these relations in order to actually have, from my point of view, time to realize their goals , that is, russia provokes aggression, distracts, distracts the attention of the euro-atlantic world there china is engaged in the development of what it, by the way, china quite calmly commented on all this, mainly how to stop the conflict and you, i agree with you, the conflict should be stopped, just like that, that’s right, it’s exactly the roots in confucianism and pretended to be sizma, it’s not conflict, dao he

some people argue hijacked by russia. china and russia so different. china rising power. russia declining power. as a china benefit from cold war era, and also even china once promote corporation, even partnership. never alliance with russia. partnership with russia. particularly, china does not want to see the block policies back. but having said that, china has not in debt -- condemned russia for the invasion. china's view if we want to condemn, we should also condemn eastern. most important, chinese need to feel, they do not want russia fatally defeated by nato because the next one will be you, china. >> we will go to questions. xi jiping is different from vladimir putin. vladimir putin is a rare and dangerous combination of all-powerful, risk taker. that is terrible and a leader. you are a ms. calculator and a risk taker. --miscalulator. >> very interesting statement that he come up not to go that far. i think china wants to make point that if u.s. and nato continue push for taiwan, that china have to go. if not, it's china's interest to stop you came threat and to go

so do not doubt that china will help russia even if this help leads to economic sanctions against chinathe decline of its own chinese economy. i always said that you can save yourself only if the economic crisis in china destroys this regime if the economic crisis in russia destroys this regime if the economic crisis in iran destroys this regime only chinese russian iranian peoples can help humanity to survive at all or to disappear from the face of the earth, there are no problems, have you worked in russia for a long time in moscow, or have you felt that for several decades, russians are also beasts and that they will go to war against ukraine, how did this manifest itself or vice versa, there was no evidence of this, how they treated ukrainians and non-russians in general there to be honest, i don't really understand when they tell me that the russians became such beasts in a few decades. i am very sorry. the soviet army behaved like this in all the territories where it started the war or even in those territories where it came as an army the liberator is the story of the crimes of t

china. that is , it is about 40% of all the chips that russia currently receives from china, they turned outective and not working. yes, this is also interesting. they are produced in some artisanal productions, that is, not in large factories that have been stopped, and russia may also buy all the fakes from some small companies, and they produce a low-quality product, and now there is a problem, this is the internal consumer of news in china, and the average chinese who little by little we heard that they are beginning to change their opinion and their attitude towards these events, and er, little by little , the term that this is really a war is being introduced. some kind of more public and public - changes in public rhetoric in this conflict because the government forms an in- if it sees that the people start saying something wrong, they began to correct you who are advancing bit by bit about the fact that it is still a war, it can only to be with the presentation of compactness, that is, you understand, i will say. maybe our viewers do not know about this, in fact, as soon as the war b

but you tube material get put out for us is lagging behind russia and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons, officials and make fools warned. and julia panel on the matter. on tuesday, sponsored by raytheon, a major pentagon supplier we had fallen behind russia and especially china. every time we did war games and certain scenarios around the world, we found out that when the rated states was facing an opponent and had developed hypersonic abilities, if we didn't have that capability, we last testing is something we're behind on. we're behind china, into even even russia, for that matter, horsing things, capabilities and offended, so from such weaponry is also being questioned as a congressional ripple ones. the countries radars are, quote, insufficient for tracking the russian and chinese miss os high was like missiles flight these 5 times as fast as than the speed of sound they also can maneuver was traveling to their target. in 2017 russia became the 1st country to feel such weapons to play in the job as the service miss out. the range of such weapons in moscow has also includes

china with its power can be more dangerous than russia. it has the ability to project its philosophy and authoritarianism to change the rules of the basic international order. now we see that china and russia are cooperating with each other. this is a very dangerous trend. i think that in response, democratic countries should cooperate to prevent further the spread of authoritarianism , mr. minister, what help does taiwan provide and can provide to ukraine in these difficult times for our country, starting from february 24, the people and ivaniv expressed great support for ukraine, we condemn russia's aggression and agree with the united states of europe and japan regarding the introduction and strengthening of sanctions against russia. next month, we will provide humanitarian aid to ukrainian refugees living in eastern europe, poland, the czech republic , slovakia, the baltic states. we have collected a humanitarian cargo for ukraine of 562 tons, we will continue to do this. i personally spoke with some mayors of cities, in particular kyiv

china is named as a potential growing threat. so the nuclear issue applies not only to russiafor the time being again in china, where leadership in the global economy is at stake three xi jinping china has secured the status of the world's second economy, however, the coronavirus pandemic has made significant adjustments to the country's development until 2020 , annual gdp growth about 6% in 2021 was above this, the world bank predicts total gdp growth this year to be less than 3%. it's all about politics zero tolerance. everyone expects that the third and fourth quarter will generally allow the weather to get , more or less moderately high growth rates, but if we compare with many other economies in general, china is in a good position and it must be said that china has created first-class infrastructure. there is a huge amount of capital accumulated, so to speak, a bag of money, which china will certainly actively use in the restructuring of relevant industries. the expert is now clarifying china, including on the party congress should find a new model for the development of

is far behind russia and china, when it comes to hypersonic weapons and it has consequences. we have fallen behind russia and especially china, every time we did war games and certain scenarios around the world, we found out that when united states was facing it, had developer's gonna keep building. if we didn't have that capability, we lost testing is something we're behind on. we're behind china, even even russia for that matter. i really am is also at least 5 times a state of sound. they can also maneuver was traveling to the target in 2017 russia became the 1st country to feel such weapons, deploy king jolla to serve this missile. moskos also also includes the avalon god glide vehicle carried by intercontinental ballistic missiles and ship cruise missiles. the us for it's paul is not explained to deploy hypersonic weapons before next year, early washington capabilities offended, so from such weaponry is also being question. as a congressional report warns the countries radars on quote, insufficient for trucking, the russian and chinese missiles. the concerns over the hybri

challenge comes from powers that combine authoritarian rule with revisionist foreign policy russia and chinas russia is an immediate threat, free and open international system. it recklessly tramples on the basic laws of the modern international order, as shown by its brutal war against ukraine, china, on the contrary, is the only competitor, at the same time seeking to change the international order and strengthening its economic diplomatic military. and the technological power to achieve this goal is a strategy that means that china represents the most serious geopolitical challenge for america. well, first of all, how do you compare. uh, what challenges russia and china pose for the united states and secondly, uh, don't you think it's very difficult to reconcile what the biden administration is trying to reconcile on one side. global struggle with russia and china this is the central axial thought. uh, the whole strategy, on the other hand. this is multilateral cooperation to combat the climate change pandemic and so on, because, uh, the history of the pandemic has even shown that it does

if it doesn't want to import these things from china, from russia? yeah, i think it is stronger like refining capacity this in the european union, definitely strongly european core collaboration. because it meets high investment in, into refining and building up refining capacities. and it's not the short term solution but am needing to long term investment that needs to be done down. and yet to get everything. the member's id, like a short of the german institute for international and security affairs. thank you for your thoughts. china is not only dominating the rare earth's market, it's also home to more than 80 percent of the world solar production capacities to change that i'm at a growing demand for less expensive energy. we're leaders are meeting at the international solar align summit in new delhi in india, they're pushing to diversify supply chains and manufacturing of solar panels. over $100.00 countries are represented at the meeting, sharing a common goal, have a listen. we go have the goal of ensuring solar as the energy source of choice

they are more opposed to china, russia, but russia mixed up his plans for the invasion of ukraine, heve in the series across america, debunking the myths about nuclear deterrence. the atomic bomb dropped on japan accelerated the end of world war ii nato expansion, we understood from the very beginning that it would be a curse in russia in the ninetieth gorbachev. promised no expansion. not only bushy-baker. and leader after leader, but since the nineties , the alliance has increased by 14 countries, and now there are 16 more of them, ambassador burns wrote in a secret memorandum. no, then no, don't cross the red line america and canon and nice warned about this and it's not the pacifists apologists for the cold war abiden trump sent more weapons. more instructors. russia was provoked, but still it was her monstrous mistake to invade. and now she pays a big price, he is convinced that miro's ignorance of the history of history in particular by the americans allows politicians to manipulate the name, i compare what is happening now with 1979, when on christmas the ussr in toxins, afghan

worsening and such an alliance of countries is being created that, for various reasons, support russia definitely chinaresources of russia for its geopolitical strengthening, this is iran, which has existed for more than 40 years under sanctions. and it can also be said that the countries of the third world and traditionally have ties with russia , the same syria and caragua, and we are all we can see from yevhen sambori's vote at the un and for russia. i think this is such an argument that if we do not win, we can not defeat the ukrainians on the battlefield in an open confrontation, then we will destroy them morally , and this is the reason for all these attacks on the infrastructure. to intimidate a ukrainian, but we know perfectly well that ukrainians should not be intimidated and that we will continue despite these terrible efforts. and what is most important is that foreign diplomats working in ukraine are themselves witnesses of this. and this, i think, is the best example of how it will be the west should react, because if we speak conventionally, that is, look, i want to clarify, that is, in t

we chose the word acute carefully, unlike china, russia cannot systemically challenge the united states over the long-term. but russian aggression does pose an immediate and sharp threat to our interest in values. -- and values. putin's reckless word choice against ukraine, the worst right to european security since the end of world war ii, has made that clear for the whole world. the nds is also clear eyed about other serious threats. that includes north korea's expanding nuclear and missile capabilities. in while, -- meanwhile, iran is moving ahead in its nuclear program supporting armed proxies and drones that russia uses to terrorize ukrainian civilians. we remain vigilant against the ongoing threat from terrorist networks. as well as from climate change, pandemics and other -- they do not respect borders. the nds has been charged to defend the homeland, to deter strategic attacks against the united states our allies and partners. and to engage in combat when necessary and to build a resilient joint force in defense ecosystem. we moved out -- under the nds in three ways. forging int

initiative, and the rest of the world decided not to use transit and routes through russia. china did not interfere and did not violated the sanctions imposed on russia he did not impose sanctions but he did not violate them instead china directs most of its trade to and through central asia all ding ping and really upset the balance in chinese politics he consolidated power approaching the level of mao zedong he also humiliated his hujintau's predecessor by leading him to china's liquor congress. this was a demonstration of great political power . russia does not need these ding-pings. russia is the junior partner in any partnership with shortly before the invasion of russia, china talked about an unlimited partnership, but the most obvious limitation is that china does not violate the sanctions imposed on russia. the ambassadors wanted to clarify the role of iran and the formation of a new axis of evil. we understand that iran supplies russia with unmanned aerial vehicles that kill our of civilians, now iran has promised to supply russia with ballistic missiles of different rang

is lagging behind russia and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons. that's what officials alex was of admitted during a panel on the martha swanson, boy with young a major pentagon supplier. we have fallen behind russia and especially china. every time we did were games and certain scenarios around the world. we found out that when the united states was facing it had developed hypersonic abilities. if we didn't have that ability, we lost testing is something we're behind on. we're behind china, even even russia for that matter or for the defend itself. and such weapon is also being questioned as a congressional ripple ones and countries radar are, quote, insufficient, the tracking, the russian and chinese missiles. now harvest sort of missiles fly at least 5 times the speed of sound. they can also maneuver, walk, traveling, so that targets in 2017 russia became the 1st country to feel such weapons deploy in the king joel as a surface missile. mazda is also also includes the avalon guard glide vehicle, carried by intercontinental ballistic missiles. and

china, russia and draw analogies, in the meantime, due to a huge number of factors, and i will give youple. china russia before of the last moment were the main competitors for the market of many balkan countries. i know i can give examples of russian companies that lost in tenders to chinese companies that took away, for example, aluminum plants in serbia, there is metal production and so on and so forth. and we are already living in a completely different era, and uh, what would happen if. well, of course, the conversation was absolutely even yes, it was absolutely drizzle and the whole world was completely already in 2013 in similar situations, the smell was about to intervene in syrian civil war and a different situation. i would like to pay attention. why is serbia, in general, small? yes, serbia is smaller than belarus 7 million citizens without oblique serbia is surrounded by nato and the european union around. it is completely tied to european, european market loans. most of the economy is and it is connected with european banks and so on and so forth, and yet, as serbia is beha

. >>> despite russia's brutal and unprovoked war in ukraine, china is still the biggest threat to the united states. that's according to the new pent gone national strategy out today. it describes russia as a dangerous but declining world power while china is by far the most consequential strategic competitor for the coming decades and the most serious challenge to u.s. national security with a rapidly growing military and the power to reshape the international order to beijing's liking. >> unlike china, russia can't systemically challenge the united states over the long term but russian aggression does pose an immediate and sharp threat to our interests and values putin's reckless war of choice against ukraine, the worse threat to european security since the end of world war ii, has made that very clear to the world. >> reporter: according to the pentagon, russia has a stockpile of 2,000 tactical weapons. the national defense strategy warns that vladimir putin might use the nukes to win a war or avoid defeat if he's in danger of losing, case in point, ukraine. let's bring in michael

arabia, meanwhile, has expressed its intention to join the brix because it is likely that india china russia brazil south africa prefer partnerships to economic dictates.

by the way, what other nuances can there be in china's vision of russia, because it is clear that putinat it was going to attack ukraine, well, for me it looks a little unrealistic . i think that he clearly lied. to react, how is china reacting to it now? well, of course putin lied he flew to the beijing olympics with one goal, where he wanted to negotiate with everyone and warn him about the start of the war against ukraine, that china was not ready for this adventure, it was clear at once. but the results of this inspection for china turned out to be shocking. china, first of all, is outraged at putin because he mobilized the so-called collective action today, that is, china believes that putin early alarmed the states on facebook and now there is a response on the possible actions of china in the same taiwan will be completely different and therefore of course, from the point of view of china, from the point of view of russia, putin is acting in the role of such a panicky violator of the convention as we remember, that is, that person which with its adventurous activities created pro

he also made clear who qualifies now as an ally to russia, topping the list, china, which is declared a no limits partnership with russia. and there is also something personal here for putin as well. today he called chinese president, she's in being a close friend. here is part of what, what the report and said to day he begins by lashing out at the west, debated at the state the historical period of undivided dominance of the western world affairs is coming to an end. the unipolar world is becoming a thing of the past. we stand at a historical frontier. after all that he will resume will quite recently, machines have kirkwood, we thought that we were turning into a semi colon in human emotional dealing business. we could not do anything without our western partners, look at a short of the merchant. previously, we can't make financial calculations. now in the shrink of new books. we won't have the technology's new sushi compatibility and we won't have the markets. junior student took a while, have to do is click on that and everything falls apart and but no, nothing fell apart. you an

i think they are both focused on the same thing. >> bret: are you worried, marie, about the china-russiaerned about the future of china for a number of reasons, including the leadership and how they have really console dated power. but i do think there is an opportunity to split those two countries even further and that vladimir putin has the potential to overplay his happened here because china likes stability. however they define it. we don't always define it the same way. i do think if russia were to use some sort of dirty bomb. use some sort of nuclear weapon. i really think we could further slip from china. despite our deep concerns with china on other issues. >> bret: last thing very quickly. there is concern on capitol hill from republicans about this administration and china considering all the deals and everything else that happened with china. >> well, yes. there has got to be concern. the world is full of bad keep our eye on china. we have to keep our eye on russia. keep eye on, too. these problems will not -- we can't just shut our eyes off to them and let's say stay out of i

is far behind russia and china when it comes to hypersonic weapons and that has consequences. we had fallen behind russia and especially china, every time we did war games and certain scenarios around the world, we found out that when the rated states was facing an opponent and had developed hypersonic abilities, if we didn't have that capability, we lost testing is something we're behind on we're behind china, india, even even russia for that matter. hypersonic missile fly at least 5 times the speed of something. they can also maneuver while traveling to their target. and 27 seen russia became the 1st country to feel such weapons deploying the kin. joe or to surface missile mosque was, are still also includes the oven guard guide vessel, which is carried by inter continental ballistic missile on the zurich, on anti ship cruise missile. the us for its part is not expected to deploy hypersonic weapons before next year. the earliest when washington's capability to defend itself from such weaponry is also being questioned with a congressional report warning that the countries rada
