u. s. almost has that it is used and number of times when it comes to sort of some of the parallels that we're seeing being drawn is there an extent to which we can draw parallels between the 2014, might on unrest in ukraine and what's happening right now in georgia, and what do you make of that western world there even if it hasn't gotten quite to that point? absolutely, i mean, what is really even more dangerous compared to that time is the attempt that is more than obvious for from nato and the us to destabilize at the same time, south get caucasus, meaning, georgia, maybe even supporting of the bay john, or adventure against armenia, which i would not exclude, and at the same time it is, it is the stabilizing will doevema that we've heard all these reports about, you know, ukraine being involved in the previous throne. there are tons of these, the region. there was also a stamped on the, on the life of the head of the region which, which was, which fortunately did not happen today because of t

u. s. and almost unprecedented.

u. s. in almost unprecedented ways. the toughest talk was served by china's new foreign minister who warned of catastrophic consequences in washington didn't change course. china's wolf warrior diplomacy was on full display with beijing portraying itself as the victim of western suppression, staunchly defending russia's invasion of ukraine, and blaming the u. s. for causing the dispute over taiwan. the white house insist that this doesn't change their approach to its systemic rival, but it may well be a new lo and us china relations. i'm nicole fairly kimberline and this is the day ah, we have on if the united states does not hit the breaks down and continues to speed down the wrong path, that will surely be conflict and compensation. we've been very clear in our approach. it's not change. we want an approach of competition, not conflict, please. i'm a, don't you? why does the united states asked china not to provide weapons to russia? why don't keep selling arms to taiwan jones and ultimately it's their choice to make,

u. s. defense funding, our private contractors estimates over the past year suggests independent recipients got more than half of washington's national security budget. and the u. s. inspector general almost galveston has one that could signal corruption between the government and the military. industrial complex you are bound to get corrupt elements of not only the ukrainian or the hose governments, but also of us government contractures or other 3rd party contractors to try to steal the money. there is just so much money going in and it's hard to keep track off. i'm not super optimistic that we're going to learn a lesson. i've been in washington since 92 and learning lessons is not in our dna in the united states. unfortunately. well, i want to show you the cost for ukraine's war effort. compare with those of other major conflicts. washington was directly involved. then take a look here. spending on leak laid to cave has actually surpassed the annual us funding of its previous war. in afghanistan, america is also estimated to have spent on ukraine about half of the money it did per average per year in vietnam. indeed, both the vietnam and afghan, some words were seen as and again a resi

u. s. foreign policy in u. s. interests. so certainly almost tone, i think, comes as a surprise to the state department in the not quite sure what to make of it. a representatives of the state department have had the usual and just rhetoric saying that they respect mexican sovereignty. but if we examine u. s. foreign policy, although all the way back to 1848 with the theft of one 3rd of what was mexico. we should remember the california nevada, arizona, utah, colorado, texas. all of this land belonged to the indigenous people. in fact, the entire divided snakes of america. and i'm low in the mexican people, do not forget this representatives of so many sovereign governments from olivia to brazil to venezuela, to cuba. now in mexico are saying that we will not accept this arrogant posture of monroe isn't. that defines all of south american, the caribbean, as the backyard of the united states. so this is very welcome news that i'm low standing up in this way. cisco has issued a report and russia is unlikely to be involved in the so called havana

u. s. has allocated a total of almost $6000000000.00 in assistant funds for georgia over the years. and as we know, nothing comes for free and this is exactly what local m. p. 's had in mind when considering the draft law on transparency of foreign influence. countries tend to use angie yos and private media organizations to sway public opinion and encourage opposition movements in countries of interest. the biggest share of the u. s. funding is directed towards antonio's, which means that this money benefits not our country, but their own agents. we see that there is absolutely no transparency in their spending. the public does not have any information in this regard. that creates risks. our country's a small state. naturally. it is vulnerable to various types of risks. so at this time, transparency is of special importance. georgia is already one foot in the u. ponds . having signed the e u association agreement and this law would jeopardize it the future with the was bought. not everyone seems to share these pro western views, as we've already seen from the scuffles in parliament

u. s. spent in an off year was almost 3 times as much as the $30000000.00 pounds great britain spent. and far more. let's bring in professor chara, taurus, spell a, c author, and law professor at stetson law. so 1st stop. how do you as election, campaigns spend their money? so there are $2.00 ways of thinking about the cost of elections. one is the cost to administer elections, and that's estimated to be about $2000000000.00 for a general election and the united states. cost of the federal action was over $14000000000.00 and why our elections so expensive and efficient and which countries have a better model. ah, the united states has expensive election administration because we have so many different entities that are administering elections. so we have a level of federal oversight which is actually quite small. most of election administration is administered at a hyper, a local level. so one way to think of the american election is that it's not just one election. it's really 10000 different elections running simultaneously. now it looks like there's been a decline in load or turn o

u. s. air force official says that the maneuver almost called one of the russian place to crash as well. all right, let's get the latest now from a corresponding washington mckellar group number killer according to the u. s. military, this incident was not an accident. what was it? yes, we actually heard from the pent again now that at 430 to 40 minutes, those russian fighter jets were in the vicinity of that us drone and only then did they approach it. and in the end and one of the fighter jets touched one of the propellers, which was described as a reckless and dangerous maneuver of by the u. s. side, which caused the drone to become an maneuverable, unmanageable. and then the u. s. decided to bring the drone down themselves, the u. s. military actually brought down this drone. so that's what happened in international as space, as was stressed by the tent pentagon. again, that was a question whether this was anywhere near crimea in the black sea, and the pentagon spokesman said, no, it wasn't that this was safely in international asked space. and that's also why there is a very found r

u. s and global globally are almost entirely unregulated.so anything that is on your phone, whether it's within the facebook app or whether it's in with within the tiktok app is fair game when you accept the terms of use of those applications, they frequently say we want access to any and all information any and all applications on your phone and you know all data on your phone, the microphone the camera and they can use those that will i think it tip talks case. it also reserves the right to monitor communications with other systems that are out there. so these are incredibly powerful and incredibly threatening applications, and by the way, it's true. it's not just tiktok . it's also social media applications in the us, and in fact, china does not allow western social media applications to be used by the chinese people. so facebook and instagram that blocked and obviously you know, the biden administration definitely sees tiktok as a threat and secretary of state. blinken says it needs to be ended in one way or another. whatever you meant b
