that's for my pentagon senior security policy unless michael maloof joining us. thank you. well, breaking with its colonial pulse. now molly has chosen to rename some of this historic landmarks on the newly formed the lines the saw hill states. the government is hoping to remove any mention of from says colonial administration from public spaces. now this is a move that mirrors simulate initiatives that are being taking place in neighboring media and also in the key no faster any place names will affect the country. so when state is reaffirming ties to historical for some need is we've been hearing from some of the locals who have welcome those changes. i think the no news here are the different alliance of say, health states: presidents, abraham troll, or a see me going to and up dural home on a t on e. then they are all officers, captains, and general setup. when i came to visit this monument and i am very happy with, i think, renaming this monument is a great initiative before we pass by this monument without really paying attention to it. but thanks to this name change,

michael maloof has been offering some insight into the p s t p t s. the crisis. griffing us veterans. well, it's clear he has a the p t s d. when you're directly involved in something like this and you are killing people directly. it does have an impact on if you're engaged in more, it, it eventually comes back and punch. i know, i know this and it's, it's a, it's something that some people, many, most people can do with some cannot. and the fact that he was involved in the targeting and, and the actual killing. i think it, uh, that combined with the fact that he was home on leave is that he was having the miracle issues with his voice. and i understand that there was instability involved here. i don't know which side. i think it all just gained up on him and you just pull the plot it terms of the united states and the left, especially in the last 4 years. we have been totally less, not only in keeping our guard up for terrorism, but also in helping our soldiers, who have been returning from the battlefield. and we still have folks out there we have f

of their so that so the cost of $5004.00 pounds of the student senior security policy. honest michael maloof, terrible times. why? cuz we don't like to see these uh, these devastating things happening in now on the west coast, especially, you know, of this sort of time of year. but these headlines, i mean, they're quite strongly out there. i mean, the headlights haven't exactly aged well either. i'm the, i'm you sending firefighting good to you. crane. now i laid these all hands on deck . let me will sort some uh, you know, on this, on the find the, the firefighters club handle what's going on to, well they, they could have if the proper preparations were made um, years ago, as you pointed out there in donald trump's 1st administration, he actually told the news, some of the may of the day, the governor to clean up the the for us and um, and none of none of that was done. none of it also key diverted. uh, he destroyed some dams that would have allowed water coming from northern california into the southern california because they wanted to protect uh, some tiny little fish. and um, and so, s

all right, let's cross live now to michael maloof, a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the secretary of defense. so my goal, trump is now talking of trying to pressure rush and making this post on social media threatening taxes, tear ups and sanctions. if russia doesn't reach a deal now, even though talks haven't even begun to take place because of course, the ones it gives me now is refuse, is quite a difference from what he was saying during his campaign. why are we seeing such a you turn now to, i think because he sees the imperative to try and resolve wars. so he can focus more on what is of interest to the united states. ukraine really isn't in the national security interest of the united states. it might be for your but it certainly is not for the united states any. and he is much more a us centric as we, as he's demonstrated by focusing more on grade one, panama, uh, canada. he's not looking at europe or, or eastern europe or any, any of those places, safety. however, he does have a shift now to asia, but that is more of a competitive nature. and i had and les

we spoke with former principals security policy, alice, michael maloof. he said the devastation is partially the fault of california is democratic leadership. if the proper preparations were made um, years ago, there in donald trump's 1st administration, he actually told the news some of the may of the, the, the governor uh to clean up the, the for us. and um, and none of none of that was done. none of it also diverted. uh the destroyed some dams that would have allowed water coming from northern california into the southern california because they wanted to protect us. uh, some tiny little fish. and um, and so kind of, you know, as an environmental matter the, the political authorities there, all democrats, so i might add, were fully aware of all of these instances. they instead began to disperse some of the equipment. and they did not ensure that the facilities, the fundamental facilities and the ability to, to obtain water was, was done. so if i can have a threat to impose sanctions against the plane over the last a decision to come, guest suffice the

early i spoke with the full append stone going senior security policy analyst, michael maloof. he says he had strategy in cost reveals its desperation. well, it's a big question and it continues to be question. the only conceivable notion that i can think of is that they were trying to establish leverage so that different when the 2 sides set down and negotiate the ukrainians, them would have some leverage to give back a 3rd story in exchange because that's not gonna happen. i think russian forces are pretty much contained ukrainians this around and they can't, they can't really feed in additional supplies without the vin of detected and knocked out. so i think that the strategy was questionable, i think it was a desperate move and yep. and in doing that, they some of their more experienced horses from the doing this area, making that even more vulnerable, that, that now is allowed, russian forces to take, take over a very strategic positions, cut off about what's your assessment of the importance of this settlement to ukrainians, and of course they've lost it now. yeah, well t

to this former senior security policy analyst in the office of the us secretary of defense and michael maloof told r t. it is ukraine, which should be pressured sooner. go shade. those must go, as all was said, it is open to talks, is zelinski who refuses to negotiate with the russians. he's made that very clear. try these to take the pressure. and so lisky to present is already said he's ready . nobody else. so, you know, let's, let's get the story straight here let's you know, and, and trump needs to get better information, better intelligence. and i think he's working on that. he's already beginning. he's already kicked out by the way of the panic on those responsible in the pedagogy for ukraine. so he's replacing them with other folks. this is just the analysis, the, the, the naming of a new on roy for, for, for uh, not only middle lease, but also for to the eastern europe. and i think that we're going to be work and he's given he's given a general kellogg is emissary for ukraine and russia, $100.00 days to work it out. now now that trump is officially in office, i think a rush. it will p

i was mind cool. maloof. michael was a pleasure to see you. thank you so much again for joining us today. ok. the international michael, we just had visit that warning from the right across. well do you may so the warning a bio live which contains samples of the boat virus, not cove at 19. a boat of ours could be a risk of an outbreak of mid heavy fighting in that part of the democratic republic of congo were clearly uh, it raises some very serious concerns for the potential of a spread of there's, there's no security and, and, and people among other pathogens is highly, highly contagious. we saw that a number of years ago during the, the obama administration, when uh, there was deep concern about him and he bo outbreak. and that might be one of the reasons why they use that as a cover to establish labs in these kinds of countries. but, but they are these countries, this a lot of people in terms of, in terms of the stability. and there's, there's a, a culture of colonialism that still rings throughout, throughout these countries in that whole
