near the experience that i had in the middle east.but that and that kind of censorship is now it doesn't matter whether. it's msnbc or fox or it's wholesale. so, yes they're the same people and they're and know you go back and all go all the way back to the wars in central america where their primary job was to discredit what. we were reporting on the ground. that's what kagan's was. and abrams was. special to be polite, but that's their job and and they are beating drums of war in ukraine now i it pains me to be here and agree with henry kissinger but in fact he was right on ukraine this is extremely dangerous and even the new york times wrote an editorial this idea that zelinsky is going to all of the territory in ukraine, including those parts that have the ethnic russians, is a fantasy. this is the new york times. so they wrote an editorial, i think in may saying this. and kissinger said of it correctly that, we we can't corner and humiliate putin. he's a major power. and there has to be it doesn't excuse what putin did because as

yes, we see a rather high popularity of the participation of countries mainly in asia, the middle eastnd africa from two important components the first situation is either economic cooperation - these are those countries that have fairly deep economic ties with the russian federation, primarily due to possible purchases of weapons from russia or for example, the purchase of agricultural products, these are the markets in which ukraine was less represented, the second important component, if we are talking about the countries of the middle east, asia, then this is precisely the opportunity to build with russia political relations in such a way that these countries become conditional silent blinkers for stolen russian funds because we see the first countries to which the russians began to flee, which have funds, it was precisely the dominant country of the middle east in relation to asia, then here, of course, in the face of china, russia still continues with itself to represent and there are some soviet technologies that are still interesting to china, although there are very few of the

the more than 5 years we've been actively engaging with was active us across the middle east. in north africa, the we saw prisoner obama dispatch as a special on voice. frank listener junior, whose father, by the way, was frank was in your senior a long time, c. i a official, frank, was there junior as a background as a diploma. and also has been accused of having his own links in the ca went to basically tell him president mubarak, you've got to transition. hi, david groves, a policy research or at the rand corporation, which is a non profit institution that helps improve the policy and decision making for research and analysis. that means corporation, eh, what would it be important to change this to the maybe county a lot more. i look for the tickets for the food, all very talk to me to the stopped all my so the, the phase of it has been tag a little bit like of young man led me to say that a lot. i'm the going to most of the top it just into to go sweet. a mentor could be, is allow me to move it up to you for that because the civility the letter in the beat, the record from

we are seeing a steady erosion of us influence in the middle east.has been going on since the beginning of the russian operation in syria, which reversed the trends that were formed there after the arab spring, that is, the united states, despite the presence of its troops in syria in iraq in a number of countries. they are nevertheless lost, influence. we see that in iraq they have reduced. the number of its military bases remaining are regularly attacked by iranian prox, that is, bases are being shelled, and attacks are on american logistics convoys, to the americans periodically. iranian proxies are being bombed there along with israel, but this does not help iran's influence much in iraq and syria, it only grows again, the main consequence of the arab spring for the entire region, that is, weakening the league of nation- states, destroying them or, uh, making them, well, weakly capable. they actually cleared the ground for iran, so a strategic land corridor emerged. tehran take, which goes through the hierarchy or you, that is, the iranian receiv

the more than 5 years we've been actively engaging with was active us across the middle east in north africa, the we saw president obama dispatch as a special envoy. frank listener junior, whose father, by the way, was frank, was your senior a long time c, i a official, frank, was there juniors and background is a diploma and also has been accused of having his own links to the see. i went to basically tell him president mubarak, you've got to transition. hi, i'm david groves, a policy research or the rand corporation, which is a non profit institution that helps improve the policy and decision making for research and analysis. that means corporation, eh, what would it be important to change this to the america? any a lot more to look for you to get for the food. all they need to talk to me through the stuff to my so the, the phase of it has been diag or, but like, i'm young. got me, let me to say a lot. i'm the proponent of going to most of the yeah. don't exist into to go suite a mentor could be, is allowing me to move it out to you for that because it's so just letting the be to lo

and since the middle east, we see the same desire for liberty learning in the hearts of young people. they are demanding their freedom and the, the, the, the protest movements in all of these countries was triggered by converts intelligence operations. that's not to say that the mass movement is, is the fabrication of us intelligence. but the timing of these events was not something which was spontaneous in any, in any way, american government. as any government. the only looks for what they believe is the best interest of the country over the united states. every administration is that for 5 years, we don't want to be busy about the prospect of housing, so it's going to be disastrous in the future. no, i'm going to go with a 100 percent investing into the stuff. i just sort of try to call and get a main day from the job. and most of my the la la clinton's a james last one that key and digital certificate authority, stock delivery. if i need to go back to g, i'm general product and that will be done. and actually we still audience are we ultimately went to carousel city club as well.

this sum of 2004 june, announced the greater middle east project. washington's goal was to turn the middle east into a free market paradise like the turn poland, and the countries of eastern europe was struck there. the more than 5 years we have been actively engaging with was active as across the middle east and north africa the we saw president obama dispatch as a special envoy, frank listener junior, whose father, by the way, was frank, was your senior a long time c. i a official, frank, was there junior as a background as a diploma and also has been accused of having his own links in the c. i went to basically tell him president mubarak, you've got to transition hi, david groves, a policy research or the rand corporation, which is a non profit institution that helps improve the policy and decision making for research and analysis. that means corporation, eh, what would it be important to change this to the america? i need a lot more to look for the tickets for the food. all really talk to me to the stopped all my so the, the phase of it has been diag or, but like i said behind me, let

today, the united states has increased its deterrence power in the middle east region, which it shoulden able to use against us, because of our deterrence power, it cannot. that is, the emerging countries of the global economy, the powerful two-wheeled countries are actually emerging in the so-called international and regional arena. path of the countries the peaceful coexistence of the south has followed the internal strength of the islamic republic of iran with the god-given resources that god has been able to show the islamic republic of iran its own international arena, which can force the photo. iran, along with four powerful countries in the world, in the field of economic allocation in 2010 to 2012, the combined gross output of these four countries is 13.6 tenths of television with 40% of the world's population. iran about 50% the world's population will become the economic power of brics, and today i joined another country except iran, five countries , and if 50% of the world's population is a member of the international organization of argentina , let it be the united arab emi

in former soviet states, officers and middle east, we see the same desire for liberty learning in the hearts of young people. they are demanding their freedom and the, the, the, the protest movements in all of these countries was triggered by covered intelligence operations. that's not to say that the mass movement is, is the fabrication of us intelligence. but the timing of these events was not something which was spontaneous in any, in any way. american government, as any government, only looks for what they believe is the best interest of the country all over the united states. every administration is that for 5 years, they don't want to be busy about the prospect of housing. so it's going to be disasters. and the future in the email tool is with a 100 percent investing into the stuff. but there's still a shot at going to get out of main day for the job and move them out to the lady clinton. a james glassman, that key english at a sort of cigna saturday stopped over the if i need somebody to g. i'm general. alice done phoning and i'm going to be telling actually we still audience a

and so syria makes marks the, the only excess of russia to the middle east, limited tween, sorry to the east submitted to reunion, which means she can control the south on flank of the nato from its naval base in tough to yeah, the coastal syria. so this is strategically the big picture here. yeah, absolutely. see the geographic importance of it in that sense. um, what about this humanitarian situation that we've just seen a little bit about in that report to have a sense of who this is going to benefit? is there a political winner as bad as it sounds to say that from seeing this that the definitely is behind us? that is the winner of this game over the summer that we've just seen. because putting what you did is he saved a sock, maybe terribly, to help him regain control of the, the big areas within syria. that headphone under position control afterwards. now he's interested in working on his rehabilitation internationally. so what we saw over the summer for exactly into the strategy, putting himself blocking the humanitarian cross border 8 in the security council while afterwards givi

we know there has been a d diversification in the middle east.f you look the public investment fund and they play a key role in the diversification and investing in risk assets has the attention of financial markets. saudi arabia may not necessarily be recycling as much of its surplus in the u.s. treasuries in the future because it is driven by the need to diversify its economy. it is looking at the longer-term ambitions of that country. there is a lot of analysis. of course, the comfortable position to try to hold is what is the brics trying to achieve? is it a de-dollarization agenda? it is about global trade. that may be an ambition better served by the use of local currency and that trade. it doesn't necessarily have to be only the currency. this will get a lot of attention. look at what the uae and india have already done in terms of repeated trade for oil. >> right. also, argentina is a country i watch closely. i have relatives over there. it was interesting recently they have been engaging in bilateral trade with china. denominated in that

after all were only from the middle east .s is another matter in that the brothers of this video tried to spread the european union 's external border security agency francex to human rights organizations, and together the international human rights movement in eastern europe and central asia also applied to some lithuanian human rights organizations, where we answered we know about your problem, and then silence. and why because russians in the european union, regardless of political views? these are second class people. how did the same poles during the refugee crisis on the belarusian-polish border. lithuanians continue to throw out refugees from the middle east to belarus, sometimes alive, sometimes not. sergey karnaukhov is in touch with us today , political scientist associate professor of the department of the russian academy of national economy and public administration under the president of russia sergey what is happening with russian oppositionists today are they really far from reality? if you look at these shots,

of course the me least, the middle east decades, all of the turmoil, more discounts and much of which at minneapolis independent, doubtless with the leaf. yeah. you know, the gun in iran in 1952 in the west. western oil companies that overturn the democratically elected government, the homicide, the at b p. c, i a, the, the rule book, you know, turn it over and over a regime change which led to huge conflict in the, in the region. and at the conference, we also have the syrian defense minister talking about their position and their view of the global picture. it's not a lot show when human autocratic western countries are aimed at continued to own and plunder the natural wealth. all the countries of the middle east thoughts violating the freedom and independence of the countries of the region. the yes continues to ponder, series and natural resources and support on formations with impunity. this picture of this global picture now where more and more countries are looking to russia on china as partners uh, the idea of the western and sort of the strategy of divide and conquer being rep

the middle east of the balkans does not work out and it did not work out. to provoke a war is ukraine was next to the russian population. related close practically the majority of russians, so nothing will end there, you understand, they started there, so as not to finish, how you should not be naive. i accidentally got shot. sat down at the table. guys shoot. no need. there will be a special going on, just like the middle east will never end. here are two fronts, world war iii, and so will shooting in europe shooting in the middle east you said it right, and to all our economists. i would especially like those who are fans of the reserve currency hmm dollars. let's listen man, who is very clear explains, in general, who pays if the reserve currency is, yes, the world does not know about it, but they funded all the battles in america in the middle east, they finance america's war in ukraine against the russians this is what it means to have a reserve currency country with a reserve currency funded by all the rest of the exploited situation. i think most cou

searches for virus mutations and uses them to further it's hundreds of migrants from africa in the middle east arrive on the small tiling island of lamp and doing stuff in the mediterranean. they share their experiences with us, the just after 6 pm here in the russian capital. this is our to international with the latest and world news today. i'm fiorella, isabel. great to have you join us threats and future stability around the globe happened to watch words of the past couple of days in the russian capital. as moscow hosted a conference on international security. more than $800.00 delegates from $76.00 countries took part in his opening address, the russian defense minister said the world, the reno was evolving, giving a voice to the previously voice plus is the direction of the special military operation. put an end to the domain and so the collective waste and the ministry sphere. its ability to impose its interest in various regions of the world has significantly decreased. the ongoing changes have increased the role of the countries of asia, africa, and latin america in the world. system

wasn't cargo there for a week or more during the middle east peace talks? >> yes. there is a time with carter was over a week during, almost two weeks for the peace talks as clinton was there although he went to the summits in japan in the midterm. president carter also with their drink w 1979. he came back and get that malaise which is what they called a talk about the condition of the country, what was going on we had hostages taken in tehran and i run. all this is goings on he supported himself almost two weeks working there during that difficult time in his presidency. but typically president so for a weekend. quick staff asked a good question. how did eisenhower get naming rights to name can't david date just have someone go out with lumbar and paint and redo the sign? >> i like the second explanation. i can imagine there's something sign from the shingle law to camp david. what to check the archives togetherer. when a president chooses not to visit camp david very often, how does that change staffing and operations? quick staffing operations do not change bec

the more than 5 years we've been actively engaging with was active us across the middle east in north africa, the we saw president obama dispatch as a special on voice, frank wilson or junior, whose father, by the way, was frank, was your senior a long time c i a official, frank wizard junior is in the background as a diploma also has been accused of having his own links to the c. i went to basically tell him president mubarak, you've got to transition. hi, i'm david groves, a policy research or at the rand corporation, which is a non profit institution that helps improve policy and decision making for research and analysis that ends corporation eh, what would it be important to change this to the america? i need a lot more to look for you to get some food, all very talk to me to the stopped all my so the, the phase of it has been diag little bit like us have you on me let me in a say a lot. i'm the queen to most of the yeah. don't exist in digital coll suite. a mentor could be is allow me to move that up to you. but i think i just received a letter in the beat and look at some junk.

we'll see, he weighs in the middle east increase and droughts where we're sending east africa research as a one in 5 for holes. drug in that region were found to be dry or contained water, unfit to drink. my few trust code is the head of humanitarian policy. at xerox, i'm and he talks to us about the reports, it looks fine. advisors really is going to be a, what's a crisis. and that's a fairly complicated story because as the world hates, thank a lot of people think about this expectation. they think about these kind of hot, dry regions, but actually it also means more rain in the out and see a more water coming down. but in short as pounds of time. so it might actually have more rain, but having a flood and dropped cycle effecting different countries. and so as each country gets hit, that will impact the warranty. in some cases, it's most better. disease in some cases is going to change the types of crops that can be growing, that is going to drive patents of migration and people having to move to new areas . so really we have to act now to address that process. the challenge with all

i've been calling that experience while in the middle east it was mostly open to brain. was that and nbc a, our loan tells a deal with pods and it was that it was during their sense in the central african republic when the group 1st became famous or what others have called infamous. after the murder of 3 russian during the less to a supposedly there. so i'm going to documentary about wagner is activities. the case is still shrouded in mystery. and there are many theories as to what actually happened to them. as for locals, they have always expressed gratitude for the groups presence and support of the with the health of the wagner group. in our soldiers, we know that things will get better. water is, what do i truly believe that the wagner group will do far, much better than france? minnesota operation and ukraine began and baldness switched focus. even though he was described as ruthless, and that times vicious, he always seemed to have the utmost respect for his spiders. in public, at least these guys are heroes who have defended the syrian people, as well as the peopl

you'll see the experience in africa in the middle east really came in handy and syria, for example. we work mostly on open terrain and then the ukraine. there were a lot of fields in northern africa. we gain huge experience in urban fighting. such experiences really helps to lots noise, just the bread. you know, africa, we get into lots available, urban combat experience. while in the middle east, it was mostly open to brain, was that and nbc a our with loans, how to deal with pa does. and it was that it was during their stance and the central african republic, when the group 1st became famous or what others have called infamous after the murder of 3 russian during the less to a supposedly there. so i'm going to documentary about wagner is activities, the case is still shrouded in mystery, and there are many theories as to what actually happened to them. as follow goes, they have always expressed gratitude for the groups presence and support of the with the health of the wagner group in our soldiers. we know that things will get better for us. why do i truly believe that the wagner

these are people who have passed the military path in africa in the middle east, they not only in ukraine and not only in the donbass participated in hostilities around the world. nothing compares to the experience. why because the army, for example, constantly conducts exercises, that is, the army can train in two cases of military operations? and exercises, and here we have a unique opportunity on the territory of belarus there are fighters who have gone through fire and water and they are training us. and so is the president. here is a very good trolling of our polish colleagues. uh, that means with a possible trip , and pmc wagner on an excursion to poland but as a politician, i want to say something, and if they suddenly go to see, uh, and our border guard does not notice that we are and here? if so in general, figure it out, we talked to the poles here and there, so that they somehow refused to cooperate with us at the border. why do i have to watch who goes to them? well , someone is coming, or the main thing is that no one comes to us. of course, i also troll, because we don’t wan

can lead to endless wars everyone knew for centuries the struggle for the middle east has alwaysa part of the world history of politics roman emperors and napoleon soviet general secretaries of the president of the united states everyone was there and everyone fought for its influence and for its capabilities, but here i would have been on the periphery of civilization and few people imagined that our destiny and our history and our development are incredible reminds me of all these regions that have always been the center of destabilization for the whole world and now it is our turn and many people in the world ask whether the third world war will not start in central europe, and whether it can happen that nuclear weapons will be used right here in central europe, and whether it can happen that it is in this region that the war of man-made disasters begins, it has already begun we can say that the blowing up of the dam of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station is the beginning of this war of man-made disasters. i think that we should talk with you about the conflict of civiliz

>> are certainly the historic moments most people recognize the middle east peace summit, work with the state department to welcome president clinton meeting yasser arafat and having a photo shaking his hand, watching from the sidelines as president clinton spent two weeks trying to forge the peace agreement. watching president bush welcoming the blairs to couples getting to know each other much like as you would moved with their neighbors as you move into a neighborhood. there very poignant things to watch on the sideline for even you get to serve there, see things, you have to remember you are in the role you get to know some personal things about the families but you are not of their world you have to maintain that corm. i will tilt two stories that are a more personal nature. i think it helps to relate to the families. the first one is the final clinton weekend four days nonstop, hundreds of guests coming through, dinners, musicians performing in the chapel, just a wonderful event we said goodbye with the hanger that night with the family some walking to the helicopter at 10:00 o'cl

under the pretext of hunting for sheets, they unleashed more than one war in the middle east, this ishis is afghanistan, this and syria the americans behave quite e not as straightforward as many of us try to imagine, they really participated in raids and some of them were very successful including they destroyed some of the leaders of the isis organization, which banned us in fact this strategy is embodied in life and still is, because in general , one september changed american identity. it has changed your sense of security as an american citizen. understanding that they are not protected allow. uh, whatever, exploit these phobias, these feelings by the american elites in 2003. uh, this hmm , one might say terrible massacre in iraq took place. and many iraqi officers were taken prisoner, imprisoned in constitutional camps. and one of them kenbuko just became a kind of hotbed or even a school of terrorism, and now from 2003 to 2011, and 25,000 people passed through these camps. and from them. eh, not only i can say that i am also abubakar al-baghdade. uh, the founder of this state,

you know, the middle east is getting funding piece, funding to try to follow china as a broker, that they talk between the saudis and they're trying to do the same thing with the turks and the syrian. so this is worrying the western powers, not because they want peace in, in the middle east particularly, but because they don't want to lose the momentum behind russia and china. the pop soldier in china was as conference. i use the platform to warn the west off regarding taiwan if i want, of course, the territory the united states over he says is chinese territory. and here's this one china policy. but over if he then is advertising to send weapons and cause further, if you like, disquieting, the region also mentioned by sort of a show you at this a conference was the idea that's in the, in the pacific stuff, nasal. the north atlantic treaty organization is also looking to influence countries in the in the pacific. this defense of alliance, now trying to open another front against china and russia in the east. of course, none of these narratives will be reflected in the western media,

the rapid american disengagement from the broader middle east. in afghanistan in 2021. we only had about $5000.00 us military personnel on the ground . that was not what was producing a trillion dollar price tags. those were the price tags associated with the big difference of yesteryear. so yes, in afghanistan discussion is certainly worth having. and i understand the other point of view, but i did favor trying to preserve what modest amount of hopefulness there was still in afghanistan. and there wasn't a lot who certainly was more than other than that. i mean, clearly the americans were but with for her and i mean i, you know, why is it that? and then when the americans leave, as you say, get more disengaged. p starts breaking out with syria with the wrong, with the b starts breaking out in between the 0 period. every tray, a piece starts breaking out in latin america. wherever the united states just engages from peaceful is as you actually want a response to that. i mean, that's just such a sweeping rhetorical over simplification. i don't kno

i do, i do, i set up some of some of the conflicts in the middle east that even if the united states was not directly involved, set the context for the words that we were later involved in ourselves. so in that sense, i do see my way through the 67 more of the 73, lord cetera. but thank you. thank you for having the let me give 2 answers to your question. the 1st answer is very selfish. i'll admit that i'm selfish, which is that this was a good time for me to write the book, because i wrote it primarily during the cold and shut down. and when you're trying to write history and historians know this better than i do, because i'm not a real historian, i, i dabbled in this history, i've entered, admire and consumer of history my whole life. but i am not a full time professionally story and it does archive or research, but you need to be able to just sit with your thoughts and almost imagine yourself back in that time period. if you're going to do anything like engaging writing, that captures the feel, captures the motives captures, you know, what was really the driving people's actions a

we decided not to take money from the governments of the broader middle east region at a time when we thought that we should be not accepting money from non democratic regimes. that was a big decision that happened about 4 years ago, and that was in a sense weighing the same kinds of considerations that you are putting forth. that even though we weren't being told what to say by the saudis or the moratti's, there were concerns about perception. there were concerns about potential allegations that we were influenced more than we were. we certainly always spoke our minds. people wouldn't work here at they couldn't bring that, they believe because as we all are, as is stubborn independence scholars would like to be able to have our own voice told you might go on the books at the thank you so much. i to thank you. that's it for the show will be back on monday, ahead of indian independence day with one of india's most famous politicians and intellectuals, indian national congress and funeral to chelsea through. but until then you can keep in touch of our less social media of it. so incenti

. >> carley: three years ago, president trump signed the abraham accord, with israel and middle eastdeal hasn't stopped president biden from criticizing his predecessor. >> president biden: not much i agree with my former predecessor on foreign policy. we are weaker, not stronger. >> carley: rabbi lakestone, senior advisor to donald trump ambassador to israel joins me now. good morning, thank you for joining us. three years since president trump announced the abraham accord. tell us what they are and why they are important in middle east and here in the u.s. >> abraham accord created new paradigm, for 40 years, premise there can be no peace in middle east until you resolve the issue and everything was on hold and secretary kerry in his last public speech when asked, will there ever be peace in arab nation and israel, he answered no, no, no. one of my favorite clips to retweet or repost. august of 2020, president trump hosted phone call with the leaders announcing there would be a peace deal between uae and israel, first peace deal in years. bahrain, kosovo, all signed peace treaties
