on this conflict, former nato secretary general hans fob rasmussen, lambasted michael in an interview last summer over michael's lack of military support to ukraine and over the french president's insistence on a diplomatic solution to the conflict. and just last month, we learned that diplomats from the baltic states and other e u countries were lodging formal complaints with their french counterparts over michael's insistence in an interview on french t v. in december, that russia be given security guarantees in any negotiations. so it's pretty clear that even a neutral position like michael did have, or one that favors piece and negotiations over escalation is now viewed as not just unacceptable, but hostile to ukraine by the western establishment. and well, the pressure is just ramping up on all sides to abandon any neutrality whatsoever to finish politicians launched a campaign with in europe to make germany a hand over tanks to ukraine. of the logic is that if other similar countries could pledge german leopard tanks to ukraine than it would embarrassing for germany not to do th

earlier i spoke to defense analysts february 14th, who ceo of political consultancy rasmussen, global. i asked him if the new tanks heading to ukraine could be a game changer. and the conflict is clearly a concerted decision by both the united states. france and germany took to cross your threshold here by delivery, not main button tanks, but as close as it gets to main things like some things that will allow the ukrainians to operate more in more consistent areas in this house and in the us. so in that sense, i think this is an important not to say good change, or this is an important step forward to basically prepare the ukrainians for possibly ukraine and see what comes off and see in the, in the or the stream. our word vehicles and light tanks are one thing that berlin, like other western allies, is still under pressure to send, have a more modern battle tanks. do you expect western allies to shift into that direction eventually? i would hope so because the reality is that for the moment the solution to this coffee is a military solution and unless we're providing ukrainians, we'v

he is the ceo of the political consultancy firm rasmussen, global welcome back to d, w. mr. po, t at france, the usa during the have agreed now on sending armored vehicles to ukraine. how do you see this changing the situation in the country and on the battlefield? these clearly a concerted decision by both the united states, france and germany took to cross your threshold here by delivery not made but on tanks. but as close as it gets to maine back and things like that. some things that would allow the ukrainians to operate more in walking distance areas in this house and in the us. so in that sense, i think this is an important not to say good change, or this is an important step forward to basically prepare the ukrainians for possibly ukraine offensive control. and see that in the early spring are word vehicles and light tanks are one thing that berlin, like other western allies, is still under pressure to send, having more modern battle tanks. do you expect western allies to shift into that direction eventually? i would hope so because the reality is that for the mom

brought hundreds of protesters on to the streets of istanbul. leader of the danish party, hardline rasmussen, pollute and set fire to his lamps. holy book with the permission of swedish authorities during his speech. she also brandon turkeys, president an islamist dictator. polygon is known for organizing similar stunts in the past, and was convicted of racism in denmark after posting an anti islam video on social media. an exclusive interview to our roughly video agency. the politician says he fears president her to one will hijack the issue. i think it's important to show out again that he can not take sweden hostage by, by taking freedom of speech and making it into a defense matter. i would never burn a koran in turkey because it's illegal there. so i have to respect the turkish culture and the rules and turkey. and i think arrogant has to do the same. he asters, respect the rules in the holland, and then morgan sweeten. and here we are allowed to criticize islam. we feel that he is and that person and he wants to make her what you call it the abrupt limbs. but the most, the best thing w

the turkish embassy in stockholm rasmussen ballou done holds both a danish and swedish nationalities. he was granted permission by police to state the rally. the swedish foreign minister says the government doesn't endorse pollutants views and that a slum volvic provocations are poorly seldom concealed. who has more from his stumble. all reactions by the turkish authorities say the same thing. they condemn this process, and they accuse swedish authorities for giving permission to such, such an act that in their terms and courage, hate crime and is i'm a for, via, as with and, and that's why the reaction from the turkey side from the turkish politicians have in har so far and at a turkish foreign ministries, calling for it and, and other countries and the west to take necessary measures. because for the, for on these kinds of process just provoke, different actions, different emotions in people. this is what they have set so far. of course, the process are not limited. with on burning, there have been protests targeting true care for the last couple of weeks since finland and sweden ar

of the center for russia, europe, asia studies and in berlin is olaf bunker belinda, director of rasmussen, global a political consultancy firm, a warm welcome to you all and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story at teresa, let me start with you today, how significant is this decision by the u. s. and germany to send tanks to ukraine? and does this constitute a turning point in the conflict? well, there's been a great deal of diplomatic wrangling going on. even within germany, there was a lot of divisions. we saw adelina bareback making statements that were different than chancellor shelters. so i think it's a very positive signal that they finally agreed to do this. it would have been much better if they had agreed to do this. months ago, because we timing is everything, it will take a long time to get this to ukraine, including the u. s. abrams tanks, it will take, you know, 2 months to get those out there. so the spring offensive is coming and everyone's quite concerned about this. but i think that at the end of the day, we have to remember, you know, germany has a lot of

americans don't even know why ukraine is on a map, executive vice president of the eurasia. santa l rasmussen say, is washington provoked, the russian special military operation as it has been involved in ukrainian affairs for years. us have been probably the primary instigators and i would say behind provoking this, this special mental, very operation that we were we're behind the cooler 40, most likely we are behind, very suspiciously. you have our hand potentially in the north stream explosion, and we've been in ukraine for quite a while. i was even before 2014. we've been a new frame the both with modifications to the bio laboratory facility, as well as the arming ukraine and training there for this. and i think the, the areas increase significant lee in 2014 and beyond. i mean, mr. palm paid, you know, we've been looted to 6 years, but i would say we'd been there longer than a no to nato campaign conference has been called on for a long day. and then you hope conway whole was pressured into counseling. the booking that's just want the iconic holes official starts with openness and inclus

the new rasmussen poll out says that in the country, do not raise unless there are spending cuts and these people get it. we want to pass a debt ceiling, but we want to pass a responsible debt ceiling and that means the debt ceiling that starts moving us on track to a balanced budget. now, biden may be for an irresponsible debt ceiling, but remember, in 2011 as vice-president, he sat in negotiations and negotiated a debt ceiling that had significant spending changes. so, he can't say it's never been done because he personally did it. >> how do you think it's going to play out and over what time period? >> oh, i think that speaker mccarthy is going to win. i think it's very significant that senator joe manchin has called speaker mccarthy and said you're right. >> and other centrist senators say we've got to do something. when you look at the spending cycle that biden and the left wing have, it's unsustainable and ultimately cost our children and grandchildren a huge amount. at the rate we're going now we'll end up spending more just to pay interest on the debt than we'll pay for natio

think tank, earl rasmussen earlier, most welcome. why do you think the netherlands is seemingly not keen to jump on board with the u. s. when it comes to restrictions on china? well, this is, it's a major china, it's 1515 netherland a s. m l directly ships about 15 percent of giants chips to them directly. so to accounts for about $2200000000.00 of annual sales. it's a major you know, it's a major part of their industry. and so this would further related, it kind of force europe would once can bear the brunt of us sanctions, if you go in this direction and it's really kinda questionable, i mean chips are used in so many things you could easily categorize the dual use type of thing, but what the i think what the u. s. is trying to do is to prevent the development of china's chip industry because a s m l is the sole producer of the extreme, ultra violet photograph the technology which is needed to to develop the most high a high end technological chips. and, and so that's where the focus is the focus to try to get them involved, but th

but we heard from geopolitical expert rasmussen, who says the dutch government appears more interested in promoting economic ties rather than getting involved in g o economics. fmi technology association is looking for the you itself to come forward and having a consistent policy, which from my understanding they do not. i mean, as with a s m l, i would not want to be playing this geopolitical game. and here i want to do business, and i want to provide the best opportunities here. so i think there's a lot of business already. businesses that are complaining about within a call away across europe. this would just be one more instance on top of that from one of the actually the largest, one of the largest semiconductor providers in the, you know, in the industry in the world. and so this is, this is, i just put a bad taste, i think, across the industry. and i think it would further further aggravate geopolitical la tensions and industry tensions within europe and, and also ultimately with between european partners and the us. yeah. south western professional partners doing everything the

for that i want to thank senators such as schellingly hughes and jesse teal and sarah rasmussen in particular to get the he reform to my desk to be signed. they refused to accept possibility that it still would end up as just another casualty of the clock running out in jun. there'sen someone else i want to introduce you to who played an important role in getting this bill across the finish line. she's a champion for -- [inaudible] she refuses to accept things the way they are or how they've always been. if katie boss is here today, and i want to personally thank her on behalf of all alaskans and every survivor that may feel like they don't have a voice. or worse, that they're not being heard. in spite of pain it brought to her, katie raised her voice. katie believed that speaking up would help keep others from experiencing what she's gone from and that speaking up would insure that justice would be served on those who victimize others. in the end, we almost let her down when the passage of that bill was in general. ty. thankfully, we didn't. and i want to read you something he wrote in lette
