u. s. power in the middle east, and i think one of the interesting things, and i think you can begin to connect some of the dots here. some of the stuff that the u. s. has done over the last 15 years. it's beginning to backfire now, particularly regarding using its power to bully other countries. and of course, you know, we've seen this in the russia, ukraine conflict, the, the, the way that the u. s. confiscated russia as far as the attempt by the western powers to under cut russian rockies economy. most recently by this oil cap machination saudi arabia reads all these things as well. and it seems that these same tools can be applied against it in india, that modi is seeing the same. i in latin america, i suspect all the latin american leaders are seeing the same. everyone begins to connect the dots, except the folks in the us who are imperial masika, you're absolutely right. it's back to just let me go to you. i mean, but it's more pernicious than that because if you don't want to play our game, we're going to punish you. we will even punish so called allies. ok. this is very interesti

u. s. a i d is currently led by samantha power. she is an obama administration darling at one time the u. s. ambassador to the un. i'm also a former adviser to president obama on his national security council. a lot of people up placed the ongoing, the still ongoing, a crisis in yemen at her feet squarely at her feet. she herself has lamented that president obama didn't do enough in syria. and as she advised him, she's very frequently labeled a war hawk. oh yes. now she leaves the country's so called humanitarian aid agency . how do you square her appointment in the binded administration with this new interest in the solomons? oh, this makes complete sense to me. the fact that samantha power heads an organization like usa, i. d, a is an example of an extension of what scholars might call soft power. first of all, you're exactly right, samantha power is a long time war hawk. she's one of the most neo liberals in a neo liberal administration. that's an a lot. it's a lot, she really was responsible for the war in yemen. she was in part responsible for the war in syria. she was in part respon

powerful winter storms. in decades. 2 dozen people have now been killed during blizzards. in the u. s. powers, la, they been restored in time for christmas. the so called bomb 5 clones left many stranded chapter times the reports washington d. c. the bronze of the storm on saturday was hitting upstate new york and the great lakes with snow full and high winds, many enough strand in their homes. for christmas. i lived in what you might call the stereotypical american suburbs if you can picture that and i cannot walk to the sidewalk in front of my house about 20 meters from my front door. thousands and thousands and thousands of people here and just in western new york state have lost power for a period of hours. and they are just coping with extra blankets and lots of christmas sweaters. despite an official ban on driving in some areas, there were is that many adventured up anyway, but the worst was over only to get stranded. this may turn out to be the worst storm in our community history. there are still likely hundreds of people still stuck in vehicles including individuals who tried

u. s. business on b? it's a hard to say at this point right now we're falling reporting from the wall street journal and the for sale is being considered by the very powerful u. s. committee on foreign investment. there are several different representatives from different parts of the government that are part of this committee. and right now, the pentagon in the justice department are pro forcing the sale. they say that there's a potential security risk by allowing beijing to have access to so much data on so many americans. but the treasury department representative on the committee is opposed to it. they say that such a for sale could be challenged in court. and so they're trying to find a different solution, but this idea of a for sale while speculative right now comes as 19 of the 50 us states have passed partial bands on the use of tick tock on government phones and computers. so this is something that's picking up steam of the u. s. a. the big spending bill that's coming out of the u. s. right now to that includes a provision right now that president biden could sign any day that would also ban of use of this app on federal phones and networks. the w

u. s. power is declining internationally. and one reason that you can present on why that is the case is the case to be done because they have been trying to throw the run in government for the last 40 years. and they have failed every year. every time they have to do that, more independent governments generally oppose this type of behavior because they realize that if united states is successful against these and then the next government may be their own government. and then the general public opposes this type of aggression from the united states. so when you look at even the countries that the government is following us on this, the general public opposes american history. and this just in there has been another gas explosion in a 3 story residential building. in the western russian city of the level local authorities report at least one casualty with residence being evacuated. we're following the situation as it develops and will keep you updated. the incident comes less than 24 hours since another explosion in this city

u. s. power is declining internationally. and one reason that you can present and why that is the case is the case of you done because they have been trying to throw that on in government for the last 40 years . and they have failed every year. every time they have tried to do that, why others countries are not responding the diplomatic sort of difficulties or some governments that oppose this type of behaviors? you know, the more independent governments generally oppose this type of behavior because they realize that if united states is successful against the iran, then the next government may be their own government. and then the general public opposes this type of aggression from the united states. so when you look at even the countries that the government is following us or this, the general public opposes american has them can i touched another issue as well just to get your thoughts and food. the e u, the g 7, including the u. s. have agreed to impose a price comp and russian oil exports going around $20.00 below around

u. s. is an unreliable partner and declining power. the u. s. withdrawal has been called one of the defining moments of recent rural history. after 20 years of its military operation in afghanistan, the pentagon quits in the face of the taliban advance and left behind thousands of people who had been helping the u. s. army over many years. a bomb attack by an isis linked group at campbell airports as people are trying to flee, killed at least 160 civilians, and 13 u. s. marines were western media outlets have described the u. s. polite from afghanistan as a disaster. and republican lawmakers say the blame ly squirrely with the biden administration. the biden administration repeatedly misled the american people about the real situation on the ground in cobble issuing public statements that were in direct opposition to the internal reports being sent by the state department and u. s. military. at one point, the state department spokesperson net price was encouraging people to make their way to the airport and telling the press the evacuation wa
