russia was very separate. the economy was separate and so it was for the rest of the world and that sort of when they worked and deepened and developed and became powerful. now we are back in a time of great power competition where the commercial rules, china doesn't follow the commercial rules these follow. so don't think they are fit for purpose. the question we are grappling with is can we make them fit, do we search for other ones and i think what's happening which in my view there's a lot of meetings and photo ops but not a lot of stuff there, just shows how hard it is in world great power competition how to create something that's much more comprehensive. >> rush: it is not just the postwar institutions that aren't fit for purpose but the new institutions either. china and india for example. or in the shanghai cooperation organisation which is stalled which is a mistake china should've thought about. michelle: there is this interesting sort of paradox where there is a tremendous amountbecause there are s

that could be good for russia, but maybe not. putin's forces are slowly advancing in ukraine, but at a staggering cost. the economic strain of war and sanctions is beginning to bite. my guest is vladimir kara—murza, the anti—putin activist, poisoned, thenjailed before being freed in a prisoner swap last year. putin can seemingly rely on the quiescence of the russian people. but for how long? vladimir kara—murza, in washington dc, welcome to hardtalk. hello, stephen. it's very good to be on your programme. it is great to see you there in washington. you, of course, have had pretty much six months now to get used to being a free man. are you used to it? well, frankly, it's still feels a little bit surreal because, you know, up untiljust a few months ago i was pretty certain that i was going to die in that siberian prison. and the prisoner exchange that happened on the 1st of august was a miracle — this is the only way i can express it. but it was in so many ways a human—made miracle because it was made possible by the relentless ad

we don't want a war with russia but the threat of a war with russia is what would make russia back down. guest: do you worry about the potential for security escalation there, either vertical or horizontal, something like nuclear war? guest: i do not, the reason because there are a lot of factors that mitigate against vladimir putin wanting to use nuclear force even though he threatens it all the time. they would be literal fallout for him, he also doesn't know what it would mean politically for him inside of russia. he's not in a very strong position politically inside russia, let's not forget about a year and a half ago when the russian warlord leader marched on moscow and if he had had a real partner inside the military establishment in russia he could have taken vladimir putin down. vladimir putin has demonstrated to be very weak in that instance. host: earlier this month, represented adam smith was a top democrat on the armed services committee as you both know, he was asked about the incoming trump administration and how a gop controlled congress might approach the conflict in ukr

china as a way to minimize russia. they are extremely dangerous as an adversary. the challenge russia faces now and really what they want and what putin strives for a sort of a multi polar world order where china and russia and the united states are all on somewhat level footing and dealing with each other. the problem russia has that china doesn't have is the united states is the world's largest economy. china is number two. rush is not in the top ten. in fact, my home state of texas has a larger economy and russia does here but russia, , so russa is focused less on the quantitative and more on the qualitative. unfortunately for us they may have a more limited tool, toolkit if you will but when you decide to use it there very effective and in some cases more dangerous than the chinese are. i'll give you an example. one area, china has a hard time, they can't get in a race with us where economically or with china, the have to compete. what they're doing in places like space, they are focusing on hypersonics and the kin

. . . , , russia began.proach the third anniversary _ russia began. sarah, as we approach the third anniversary of _ russia began. sarah, as we approach the third anniversary of russia's - the third anniversary of russia's full—scale invasion on the 22nd of february, three years at this ongoing fighting, you mentioned there the issues that ukraine's military has in plugging the gaps on the front lines, what is around like across the country? you the front lines, what is around like across the country?— the front lines, what is around like across the country? you know, it is difficult. obviously, _ across the country? you know, it is difficult. obviously, this _ across the country? you know, it is difficult. obviously, this country i difficult. obviously, this country is exhausted, obviously, the cost it has paid in nearly three years of war has been enormous, in terms of the lives lost, in terms of the damage to full—scale invasion on the 22nd of february, three years at this ongoing fighting, you mentioned

of russia. will anybody else if to sort ski the family defense use of the bill? so i'll skip crunch the 0 to and you know, just aggression later when you get the deal, you gotta shane your precious. can you get a feel secure trend of reviving the bonus, miscellaneous commonwealth of 22, the estimation of alexander the 2nd during the research companies was destructive of germany's intelligence that was involved in well, the reason when world war one began bills gave us $47.00 voluntarily turn the good working at awareness of the role and your name for security and you're right. good afternoon. there's going to what she said, so it is still pretty much any other window. sure, so, but she's considerable so crucial. joseph skis, opponents democrats, bremen, most of the leader of the ponies faction in the russian state, duma fame of poland. joining the war on russia signed a little scale or shift though still in the pitch. and that right now, could i ask him to levels gave him an analysis though i kn

i understand russia. so script that is when my sons day must go, i did not have the feeling that it was somewhat improved in some foreign country by just looks around with them. a milestone in the old inscriptions were in russian. we've already got you stripped and that's why i'm at home. i didn't run away from home. i returned home velocity, i've seen cry, muse, reunification with the brochure on my own initiative. i traveled to crimea when the referendum on reinstate cation with russia was held up in your store, within an eyesore with my own eyes, that there is nothing wrong with this. this was a true national impulse. so this is the true design of the people of crime me to re, you know, i, to the mainland. even then i had my 1st thoughts about anything. but it was not possible to implement at that time because of the, on the funding of ukrainian schools. that is, it was simply impossible to raise any funds for the move just to go home like an ordering person. you know? well, there are also threats offe

s, president, whoever that us present it is going to offer russia that russian will accept and, and russia's terms are unacceptable to any us president, an attempt by the donald trump administration to, uh, you know, play a role in, oh, he's going to cut a deal between russia and ukraine as if he some kind of neutral outside arbiter is just patently false. this is ultimately a conflict between russia and the united states. uh, on the united states. it is a proxy war, but it is a conflict to the us is losing, and trump owns that conflict. as soon as he comes into office and whatever, he may think of the average him and zalinski and in person in whatever, you know, political domestic gripes he has against them justified. he does not want to be known as the president to hand the ukraine over to vladimir pro. no, us president wants that on that record. so i predict that the. busy will continue, it will excel accelerate, it will escalate. and when porton talks to donald trump or his, you know, envoys or whatever and says yes, you know, oh thank you very much, but yet, yeah, it means net and then

the germany and russia wall retails at down and bloody battles. russia's allies, england, and france comfortably put their economies on a war fitting and prepared to come up, not just germany, but also russian territories to which the conditions were already in place. the better way of getting sick soon, but i was done schooling at the mill, which is thrash the especially impeding luxury is that if you have the bullets as most as lovely you subscribe was to 1917 the, the overthrow of nicholas the 2nd and the provisional government taking pallet proof disastrous from the battle from 1 march, the 2nd 1918. the bolsheviks who had 6 pallet were forced to sign the president of the russians. participation came to an end to give we run this through unless the town that i've seen you, fortunately, mutual, but you do have the courage that you'd have to deal with and has the rights to be completely independent in states and international matters and appeal to the opponents people petra grants, so the of walk us and so just deputies stolen was now free. get my bill. so let's get reverse the sit

we understand on the 1st of january, a 5 year deal between ukraine and russia came to an end. russia was adamant in 1st continuing that deal to ensure that energy flowed into europe, butts. ukraine, of course, oppose it. and we also recall the north stream attack in 2022, which rendered a great deal of russian exports to germany as well as the rest of the e. u, essentially meaningless. and this, of course, these 2 other alternatives, the blue stream and the church stream, both which run under the black sea serves not just russian or turkish and interests . but we understand that it also serves the interest of countries like hungry serbia, boston, hartzog, avina, slovakia, as well as greece. this is a significance, a step. this is a significant development if we take all of this into context. and we also understand that there's been a great deal of opposition or at least the slow but prime minister has been quite vocal in his position suggesting that the ukrainian leader of let him is unless he is someone who rooms your begging and black mailing western nations in the hope of extracti
