treaty the kremlin insists it is not violated the agreement and claims that u.s. and people listed missile interceptors being deployed in eastern europe could be violating the terms of the treaty. russia's tit for tat response shift the blame for the end of the i.n.f. treaty to the u.s. and even though flooding there putin says russia is ready to talk it's clear that the threat of a new arms race is real and some here in moscow are certainly concerned about that prospect. it worries me a lot i'm scared to could be a second cold war like the one in the soviet union. that flight time is only something like ten to fifteen minutes then we wiped out and they're wiped out and what for yeah the most the the i think it's really bad when countries only think of themselves and don't think about the whole world to superpowers should sit down and agree on something this is in the go but it's moscow says it will now work on a range of new high tech weapons sparking concern in russia and in many european countries about the possibility of a new arms race for more on this we're

attempt to mark any peace activist any activist for social justice is some type of a pawn of the kremlin again very much like the old mccarthy period which links similar people with with moscow. i mean i don't want to over stress it but i think it's worth pointing out that her position on the on if treaty is completely the opposite of president trumps you have both of them up rounded russian agents by the u.s. media is there going to come a point at which people will say you know this is kind of getting it not only is it ridiculous but it just doesn't make sense anymore i can only hope so your exact the right and again the idea trump is upon a pollutant did putin want him to back out of the i.n.f. treaty of course not i mean it's all silly and as you say to claim that gabbert and trump who are the opposite sides of this oppose pons of the kremlin shows that this entire line of argument is is specious an absurd to think about as announced of course she's running for the presidency in twenty twenty she's against interventions in foreign states against regime change she's she's pretty much

does that mean i'm going to be accuses of being aligned with the kremlin. like this is a dangerous mccarthyist tactic by saying leftist views are just the kremlin government's talking points. >> the three new facebook pages have 30 million views in less than six months. as to whether none of those videos are labelled with a russian audience? they don't care. >> the standard practice is to simply not mention them. because the audience is not interested. >> while 34 athic runs its business from berlin, they hired up to a dozen americans. they are contracted, not directly employed. according to mathic, to avoid labor and tax issues. >> a rare public disagreement. one of the top u.s. generals, in the fight against isis flat out disagrees with the commander and chief. why he says president trump's decision to pull troops from syria could be a big mistake. >>> an exclusive report from inside syria. the battle to air rad indicate isis. we take you to the front lines of the final battle, next, live. it's absolute confidence in 30,000 precision parts. or it isn't. i

rights and read in the yard to some of your now pushing the kremlin brought to everybody in the kremlin is like yes her the one machine is the one that we all know i'm. confused about that but i got to ask what what is so dangerous about polls the gabber that on the day of her announcement you saw mainstream media outlets like n.b.c. c.n.n. they put out an article reporting that she's n.b.c. reporter up the article reporting that she was russia's favorite c.n.n. claim that her campaign was off to a rocky start why is this like she's so threatening to mainstream outlets in the well i mean any of them also even the day that this thing that she had announced you had people major reporters tweeting out that she doesn't have any plans stop she's not doing any rallies is she even bothering like why is there what's dangerous about this is. one there seems to be this idea that before anything's even started that you can begin to start to tear down candidates and this is what we saw with bernie sanders from the beginning and so all they're doing is repeating the same this the democrats are repea

hypothetically — hypothetically, if somebody in the kremlin wants to put meduza down, they could declarese organisations undesirable, and every financial connection with this organisation will lead to a criminal investigation, and it should be a crime in russia.

the kremlin's toughest saber rattling since the u.s. withdrew from a treaty blaming russian treating. ot been ide has adhering to it. we have, but one side hasn't. so unless they're going to adhere, we shouldn't be the only one. >> reporter: but critics say president trump has given president trump a huge propaganda advantage. >> i think puts trying to stop the united states from deploying new missiles now that dwe have pul out of the inf treaty. he's trying to make itr costly us, and especially he's trying to exacerbate a between the united states and our european allies. >> thanks to andrea mitchell for that report. >>> new developments in a story we've been following. president trump said wednesday he directedectary of state mike pompeo not to allow a woman who fled alabama ton become isis bride back into the u.s. hoda muthana pleaded to return four years after going to syria. pompeo says muthana i not a u.s. citizen, but her family says she was born in new jers >>> in newark, new jersey, a school bus driver transporting special need

this is not happening in the kremlin. this is not actually happening in the crown is not inside it but it's happening in a big. hole near by the federation council in the state duma. all right. ok well it's still not happening yet as soon as he does we will go straight over to president putin what we're waiting for the russian president is trying to again reporting from the venue. are minutes away from the big event of wednesday perhaps the best way to explain what's about to start is to compare it with america's state of the union but a lot of our potent isn't making an appearance at either of the houses of the parliament known as the duma and the senate's in russia and the lawmakers are not coming to the kremlin as well we are at moscow's ancient merchants courts that is the location for the event and it can be anyone's guess what vladimir putin is going to focus on in the first place domestic issues or something that's going to be had the international audience so to say the highlight of last year's. fashionably late f

interfering directly in the internal affairs of venezuela a revealing statements i think from the kremlin here what's peskov said to mr prescott is that from our viewpoints the people of venezuela should go through the crisis that is currently convulse in the country independently they should be left to themselves to get on with it and i think that reveals a very different perspective. between what russia things is going on and what western countries think should go on so you know the west basically believes that a corrupt and autocratic leader should be forced to forfeit power if he or she uses that power threateningly or catastrophic really especially if that leader is not a western ally whereas russia think stats are corrupt an autocratic leader should be allowed to get on with what they're doing sovereignty is sacrosanct especially if that leader is a russian ally so i think that's a lot of what's going on here and for russia what's at stake if meds are a word to step down. well there basically there's a lot of cash at stake here yes there is geopolitics. russia treats venezuela as an

but the kremlin says it never intended to violate the agreement a russian foreign ministry spokesperson says the u.s. ultimatum is part of a strategy to dodge its international legal obligations for many european countries the end of the i.n.f. treaty brings back memories of the cold war and it stokes fears of a new arms race the german chancellor angela merkel called on both sides to continue talks still insists caught us first it's clear that russia has violated the treaty and that's why we must talk to russia on behalf of germany foreign minister haiku muss and myself will do everything to make talks possible again in the next six months. the agreements between the us and the former soviet union banned all land based nuclear missiles with a range between five hundred and five and a half thousand kilometers that marked an end to decades of nuclear instability during the cold war. experts now fear the end of the i.n.f. treaty could not only further damage the transatlantic relationship but also threaten the future of other arms control agreements. well for more on the story we're joine

donald trump seems increasingly flexible regarding the deadline of the deal also coming up with the kremlin using billions of dollars to prop up ailing russian banks piece people ask how much of the bill will have to be footed by taxpayers. i'm chris cuomo in berlin good to have you with us u.s. and chinese negotiators have come together in washington to resume their talks on reaching a comprehensive trade agreement washington is pressing beijing to make changes to its economic policies which it says unfairly favored domestic companies through subsidies and other support at the same time china's top diplomat is demanding that the u.s. respect china's right to quote develop and prosper. washington is pressing china to end practices the u.s. says include intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers from u.s. companies washington also one space to promise it will not devalue the yuan currency the measure would aim to neutralize any effort five beijing to counter american cherubs by devaluing its currency china says it's keen to reach an agreement with the u.s. . he won't. leave

yet because russia is so strong and so powerful in times old those very very deadly weapons so the kremlin strategic aim is to get the west of washington namely here to change its policy how so. well the russian act to do has meaning for a long time that they had the west should recognize russia as an equal i mean not so much here in the west the united states recognizes russia as an equal and europe should recognize russian military dominance and act accordingly to that and so russia has not being changing that policy much at all and it believes and puts in the not least the league said no no maintenance like maybe wrongly that russia has a rig achieve military superiority that it is ready one of the arms race and that the west should recognize that and take russian well but russia wants and give russia what russia believes is due a dominance at least in the eastern parts of the continent but we were just listening to president putin pst speak and he said he would wait until quoting him his partners had mature enough to conduct an equal meaningful dialogue what's the point of adopting wha

like wagner's private military contractors on the ground why we're seeing this rhetoric from the kremlin about. the sovereignty of venezuela and not wanting to back any sort of regime change and part of that is you do traditional russian foreign policy goals anyway they don't necessarily like to see autocratic countries coming under threat from below but secondly it's a signal to the u.s. into the e.u. and to to other powers that you know that russia does have interest. in venezuela they should be respected or at least compensated for somehow or otherwise moscow can look at these legal options these are their mechanisms for ensuring that even if there is a transition that it's an extremely difficult one and that they begin presenting obstacles to caracas rather then you know while coming any sort of new administration why does russia loan money to what some regard as risky bets well there's two factors to this part of this is due to the internal politics of the kremlin and the various players within there some of whom might believe that there is some sort of genuine advantage to this but

you in moscow this was expected especially after talks to salvage the agreement failed what is the kremlin saying. well there hasn't been any reaction from the kremlin yet but i can tell you it's unlikely to be a positive reaction russia has been saying all along that the u.s. has been addressing it when it comes to the i.n.f. treaty in the language of ultimatums putting it under pressure and that it's not actually willing to talk to russia and i think that is what we saw today this language of all that made him pay is saying russia has six months i think the reaction is unlikely to be good from the russian side especially because they have been denying all along that they are in violation of this treaty at all they presented just over a week ago the actual missile that they say that the u.s. says violates the treaty in order to prove to the world and to the u.s. that it isn't in violation and the russian side says look the u.s. isn't open to our facts it isn't open to dialogue we are open to that and i think that's the line that will continue seeing from the kremlin. alexander let's take

brent: the kremlin, particularly president putin, sees himself as a major global player again, or thate has respect again on the international stage. how does that go down with average russians? janis: i would say that national pride is something important, obviously. but if you look at the issues that are interesting to russian citizens at this moment, it is not the first issue that comes up. so, yes, this status is something which is important, which helped to boost support for the kremlin for some time. but at the moment it is really not the number one issue. brent: and the number one issue is the money? janis: exactly. right. stagnation, declining incomes, rising prices, and of course the pension reform that was started last year. brent: and he made promises in the speech today that within a year, things would improve. can he keep his word? janis: that is going to be difficult. this sort of spending that he announced today, it is not very much. if you look at the figures, it is probably an increase of 1% of social spending. so it is nothing that really the russians are going to fee

democrat to see god to the kremlin and labeled her a puppet. picks up the story. so n.b.c. has gone out of its way to inform us americans that we should disapprove of congresswoman tulsi gabbert answer twenty twenty presidential campaign why because it is backed by a vile kremlin conspiracy so what's the proof well they've got their evidence in order among other things one of their claims is brace yourself but apparently sputnik news and r.t. published articles about her site celebrated go bones announcement defended her positions in russia and i sent in a time just to choose a pool for most now r.t.m. sputnik have written about all sorts of different candidates but that's beside the point the fact that candidate who favors a non interventionist foreign policy was mentioned by news outlets from russia is considered to be a huge smoking gun but it gets worse she was mentioned on some obscure forums analyst's new knowledge told n.b.c. news the chatter relates to go beyond in anonymous message boards including those known to right wing troll campaigns a hot new knowledge you r

did the same in a statement released by the kremlin president vladimir putin said quote our american partners have announced they are suspending their participation in the deal and we are also suspending our participation we will wait until our partners have mature enough to conduct an equal meaningful dialogue with us on this important topic. putin also ordered his ministers not to initiate disarmament talks with washington and said russia would start work on new missiles the tit for tat moves come after america secretary of state and now that the u.s. was suspending the accord. it's the end of months of speculation and tension secretary of state mike pump aoe has officially signaled that the arms control treaty which has helped keep europeans safe could soon and if russia does not return to full verifiable compliance with the treaty within the six month period by verifiably destroying its eye and f. violating missiles their launchers and associated equipment the treaty will terminate this is the weapon that the u.s. is talking about the russian built as a c. eight a missile system

create a lot of additional support for the crime that this moment the kremlin particularly president putin sees himself as a major global player again or that or he has respect a good on the international stage how does that go down with the average russians so it's a bit a national pride to something important obviously but if you look at the issues that you know interesting to russian citizens at this moment it is not the first issue that comes up so yes you know this this status is something which is important and which you know helped to boost support for the kremlin for some time but at the moment it's really not the number one issue and the number one issue is the money exactly right. stagnation declining incomes rising prices and of course a pension reform that was started last year and he made promises in this speech today that within a year things would improve get to keep his word. that's going to be difficult the sort of spending that he announced today it's actually not very much if you look at the figures is probably an increase of one percent of social spending so it's

the kremlin knows what donald trump's doing when he says please hack the emails. and at least he's a strong leader for his country and we can probably drop sanctions. and crimea probably wants to be part of russia. and donald trump knows what's happening. no one needed to tell theucter party >> and he placed donald trump at the center of the most important discussions happening in the campaign and after the campaign. when you think about the trump tower meeting, he says don trump jr.fe effectively told him abou that meeting. and he said stick to the story. no russia collusion and michael cohen took the hint there. when it comes to wikileaks, he was involved there too. what he did was he put trump at the center of the conspiracy in a way that we cannot deny any longer that trump knew about the collusion aspect of this. >> it's not just collusion. the fact that donald trump, a presidential nominee spent months denying that ruggau was attacking united states when he knew or at least the people knew and maybe ea he did too and even after he was briefed in midaugust th

kind of interesting how you have two different sides supposedly working for the kremlin. absolutely. but you you obviously see that today in washington politics and the us media which is all very left and very anti russia. that you don't have to make sense you don't have to have any rationale or credibility or over that matter any evidence to stop making these kind of allegations the media has traded very strongly on the fear. that it is of two u.s. elections and so if the more you put russia into the headlines the more attention you get and i think basically most of the united states and particularly the media haven't actually woken up to the fact that the russian government is not the soviet government and that things have changed somewhat and russia is not a communist threat to the united states or the west at this stage all right thank you for your thoughts arthur and strategic analyst gregory copely it's been interesting to watch this one play out we'll see how it goes from here forward. all right telsey gabbert is just one of a growing army of prominent political fi
