u. s. for seeing africa as an arena for geo political games between global powers. that's in response to the u. s. defense chiefs earlier comments that the continent needs to be swayed away from russian and chinese influence. we're witnessing the purity expand. it's footprint a on, on a continent on a daily basis. and that creates the problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not already. or we see russia continuing to peddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent and show the combination of those activities by those 2 countries. i think that that bears watching and certainly i think their influence again, can be the stabilizer. also on the issue, we have the u. s. could view china africa cooperation with an open mind. africa is not in arena, a big public gamble, but let alone the target of all the treat trasha from any country old person. washington should respect the well, the african people and take concrete actions to help africa's development. instead of concentrating his efforts on smearing and attacking other countries, we spoke with joe altman, host of the conser

u. s. defense department is mulling over whether to send more troops to ukraine to track the vast amount of weapons being pumped into here that's according to n b c. news. washington says a small number of soldiers are already assigned to making sure a weapons reached their intended recipient. however, their only central visited 2 locations outside here to track supplies. officials are said to be came to pick up the pace of the checks before january when they will be much more pressure for accountability from the house. republicans meanwhile, have a look at this new visual graphic has been published by an independent american data scientist about washington's a, to ukraine, each dot representing a $100000.00. you can see the red dots represent military aid, blue for the key government and the yellow dots, humanitarian aid, total some. what over a $100000000000.00. interesting, a side note here. the original video depicting the flow of aid goes on for more than 2 minutes. while i discuss this with a former pentagon senior security policy analyst, michael maloof, he doesn't believe account

u. s. defense policy, unless mike maloof, who sees present them putin's visit to bell rouge should serve as a warning. i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the west that if ukraine continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing and that they could activate. c s t o, which include members of, of kazakhstan, are media, kyrgyzstan, and tajikistan. that would be a and under the c. s t o, like nato's article 5, c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of new killer, of course, he's already stated, he's not going to be using nukes unless that mean, unless the federation itself is massively attack. and i would presume that by native companies in poland and germany have applied to secure deliveries of russian oil over the next year. that's the spite western price camps on sanctions continually targeting russian industry. they had of the oil pipeline company trans, sniffed, believes that businesses in europe are increasingly looking out for themselves. a good deal of

u. s. defense policy analyst, michael maloof, who said president putin's visit to belarus should serve as a warning to give i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the worst that if ukraine continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c s t o, which include members of, of kazakhstan, are media, kyrgyzstan, and taj. because then that would be a and under the c. s t o, like nato's article 5. c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of new killer. of course. he's, he's already stated. he's not going to be using nukes, so, unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively a taft and i would presume that by nato russia haslam, the used decision to impose a price cup all natural gas supplies, calling it a violation of fundamental market principles. the kremlin has warned it's not considering appropriate contra measures. this is a violation of the markets pricing process. any talk of a ceiling is unacceptable. it will take some t

u. s. defense budget is confrontational towards russia and it's totally unprecedented. it's aimed at long term destabilization of the european continent. the usaa legislation seeks to provide $850000000000.00 to increase funding on troops, weaponry, ships, and aircraft. as well as security assistance v crane and pie one. it includes $6000000000.00 for efforts to deter russian influence in europe. cross now live to discuss this with former pentagon owl is michael maloof. michael, thanks for joining us here. art awesome. now this would be the biggest defense budget in us history. isn't washington concerned about foot high spending? well, it's, it's authorizing program. so what, what comes after that is going to be the real nitty gritty and, and sticky wicket in the appropriations. and that is going to the end that by the time that that gets, you're going to have, you're going to have a republican controlled house. and that, that's where the, the deals are going to be made. and it is, it is the highest and it's allowing new programs. it's adding, for example, with the f $3

u. s. is supposed to provide compensation within 90 days of such incidents. but for many that has not been forthcoming. former president senior security policy on his bike who thinks the u. s. defense department will never acknowledge. the real number of civilians kills off the top of my head. i would say that it's far greater than anything the defense department ever admitted to when you're dropping bombs from aircraft at 20000 feet on to a heavily populated area. the inevitable is going to happen, you're going to kill a lot of people and they're not all terrorists and fighters, particularly in the, in cities, even in the areas that are in, in, in syria where isis concentrated the heavy concentration of bombing that, that occurred. ready the, the inevitable result was a lots of death that went and reported. there is no way that we could get in the defense department to get to get in to verify. so they just didn't bother. of course, you had these other groups outside groups that were reporting the killings and deaths. but the defense department's argument is, well, we can't verify it, so that's fine. what's going to be the consequence, even if you do reports, what's the consequence

u. s. defense department having awarded him as a soldier who had a neo nazi tattoo. the soldier covered up the symbol of black son during the award ceremony. the anti defamation league earlier said the, as of the target is the, is an extremist group with ties to american near nazi organizations. investigative journalists, alex rubenstein, says the u turn is a hypocritical acts of white washing. the anti defamation league is closely connected to the democratic party. it's, it's current president, jonathan green. black was a administration official of obama. so one might expect it to feel particularly sensitive to issues of national socialism. neo nazi isn't that sort of thing on their, their proximity in their inclusion within the no democratic party propaganda machine forces them to, to whitewash the as a battalion because of as obs, importance to the war against russia, which is of course, you know, something overwhelmingly supported by democrats. meanwhile, a you couldn't delegation, visiting the u. s. congress white to their shoes, the flag of the domestic republi

u. s. defense she conveniently forget about at least the need for lead mission in africa and even the extent to which the americans are focused on the security on the continent . well, establishing and number of endless military bases for the drones, for the war ships and just military bases are in general without necessarily providing their promised security of the ability to the continent did was under the obama administration bed. the united states really wrecked havoc on north africa and they've said of a litany of insurgents. as we've seen, the hardest movement grow, even stronger within the se, hell region in africa, that was all started by the toppling of the get down feed government and killing of mom on that as somebody who was seen as symbolic leader in africa and somebody who aged in continuously supported the idea of the united states of africa. and for some reason, mom and that fee represented a threat to the west that he had to be taken out that way. but unlike ukraine, when most of the aid the seems to be going from the united states perspective, and african leaders are watchi

u. s. defense secretary sets out his own priorities. we're witnessing the purity, expand its footprint a on a continent on a daily basis, and that creates problems that will be eventually destabilizing if they're not already. or we see russia continuing to puddle cheap weapons, employing mercenaries across the continent. and so the combination of those activities by those 2 countries i think are that bears watching. and certainly i think their influence, again, can be the stabilizer, is really disappointing to hear these kinds of warnings. still being lamented when american president joe biden, from is a relationship of mutual respect with africa and one that will be different. but there are to, rick is still pretty much the same. the commons by you as a defense. he really was almost expected by african countries. i mean, african countries have only as for one thing, and one thing only can you, can you let us make our own decision when it comes to who we want to trade with? who we want to be friends with? because only we are the custodi

u. s. defense policy analyst, michael maloof, who says, puts in has the live with a strong signal to the worst. with his recent visit to bella, ruth, i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the west that if ukraine continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c a c o which include members of, of context on our media, kyrgyzstan as because then that would be a and under the c. s t o, like nato's article 5. c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step. short of new killer. of course. he's already stated, he's not going to be using nukes unless the main, unless the federation itself is the massively attack. and i would presume that's by nato. meanwhile, in the dorm bus, the city of dunham has suffered yet another suit of overnight or 2 restraints for a green forces with a hospital court in the line of fire. the 2nd time in 24 hours. he is one of the largest at the 15 heavy rounds into the regional capital. the shells hit the medical center for

u. s. defense of history was we would want to put pressure. you start to stop libra, whereby negligible completion of the national community. i think i've done so far, you know, everybody i knew of london was on to settle destiny. what they did is should i do that to detrimental to it? i said also i'm back is where pass wanting to to group pension fresh on into that to just mr. much. i just one stop before school i took off their post. now community should i'm sure that the easter also want to a lesson piece between them and the about us giving independence to what to from time to finance, to you straight to products that will not work. we're not hot. we'll know how to do test. what is true, the better for us? well, to have a 90, i begin to, well it's we have to want to talk to do and buckle. want to call shuttle diplomacy with new bass that i'm interested in the across. she should be able to actually to, to solution well, you know, for our traditional sunday program from moscow here on ne things suddenly got very, very busy. whereas we usuall

u. s. defense policy analyst, michael maloof, who says, puts in, has delivered a strong signal to the west with his recent visit to bowers. i suspect this is beginning to do is send a signal to the west that if you crane continues to hit russia with missiles as it has been doing. and that they could activate c a c o which include members of context on our media, kyrgyzstan, ashika, se. then that would be pe and under the c s e o, white nato. article 5, c s t o has article for an attack on one is an attack on all. i think it's mr. brewton signaling that this is going to be the next step, short of new killer. of course, he's already stated he's not going to be using nukes unless the main, unless the federation itself is massively attacked. and i would presume that by nato, meanwhile, in the dom bus, the city of dyess has suffered yet another series of overnight artillery strikes where you granted forces with a hospital court in the line of fire for the 2nd time in 24 hours cares red, she launched at these 15 heavy rounds into the regional capital. the shells hit the medical center as well as

u. s. defense industry. they making out like bandits. that's where that money is going. so that's nicely boosting the america, the economy. and you're americans are really suffering as a consequence. there aren't any casualties. there's no, this is different from iraq and afghanistan when americans are losing light, then are losing line. you gradient losing lives. russians are losing like, but the americans don't care about that. the european economy is gradually sinking into kind of globally relevant the americans are quite happy about that. they've always wanted to eliminate europe as an economic rival. so i don't see the incentive for the americans to cut and run from ukraine unless they believed that ukraine was on the brink of defeat. and therefore, you know, america was racing humiliation. and you know, from what i can gather from the voices coming from the administration, the, the united states doesn't believe that ukraine is facing an imminent decreed. why thing? i think you make a very good point that ga, certainly be noted by some european politicians in the pa

u. s. defense contractor raytheon admitted to helping the u. s. government call the shots on military targets v crane, but they seems like things are coming into focus. so they, what do you make of the timing? ah, as, as we can draw inference from the numerous aid packages that the white house is approved. we know that a large portion of that stays within the us and goes through the likes of lockheed martin and raytheon, who are some of the primary benefactors of this ongoing effort to prolong this unnecessary of suffering down in that on bus region. as to what extent is the us now i direct party to the military conflicts in your eyes, and how do you think russia could oh, should respond to my in my personal opinion. and it is us, is the primary shot color, not just with regards to the, the conflict itself, and the, supplying and arming and overseeing and orchestrating numerous, numerous actions. but also we see in the political and geo political field of bullying, european union members to join such as poland trees, who have no business in thi
