he responds such contempt from u. s. media for the current difficulties faced by so many has led to wide spread condemnation. with many americans bemoaning and out of touch media that is alienating its own audience. i don't see a thing, therefore this thing must not exist. this person calls himself a journalist. can't wait to hear a 3rd person commentary on gas prices. everything's fine in my bubble of reality. his milk is 300 percent the price. it was 2 years ago, but wages have only gone to 3 percent, and inflation is outpacing growth. abundance doesn't help or so please rename your show to literally anything that doesn't have the word reliable in it. it's false advertising. so the chasm in communication between the public and the press is widening major channels like m s, n, b, c, and c, n n. have seen their respective prime time spot nosedive by just under half of that whole tool viewership. but it's not just the democrat liberal media that's losing touch with its base. fox news viewership is down a 3rd from the sam

u. s. global thunder. strategic forces exercises 10 u. s. air for strategic bombers practice options of nuclear weapons use against russia almost simultaneously from western and eastern directions. based on what was spoken about at this meeting, it looks like the u. s. military aggression is actually bringing us, is actually bringing russia and china closer together. the chinese defense minister at the meeting said that the u. s. is using the same aggressive military actions against his country as it is against his russian counterpart. we did hear from the russian defense minister again, who outlined what some of those actions entailed admissions this year. lucia records a significant increase in the activity of us strategic bama ation. in the past month, around 30 flights to the borders of the russian federation have been made, which is 2 and a half times more than in the same period last year. it's likely a joining of these 2 eastern powers wasn't exactly what washington expected to result from. it's increased the nuclear posturing either one of them is a serious force to be reckoned with for washington. but both of them together, that could be

so this is the proposed resolution from u. s. congress to us congressman, in particular, us steve cohen and joe wilson, one democrat, and one republican who say they won't recognize vladimir putin as a russian president. should he run for office and be re elected in 2024? they have cited the amendments made to the russian constitution back in april. the effectively reset the previous presidential terms and gave putin a green light to run for office in 2024. of course he's serving currently the 2nd 6 year term. it would allow him to ruin in 2024 and then in 2020, at the end of his 1st 6 year tim, theoretically, but it's exactly that which has upset the u. s. now, despite the amendments being voted for by 77 percent of the russian population, the u. s. is called a violation of the laws of the russian federation and going against completely everything that russia should stand full on the international arena. the 2020 amendment to the russian constitution were enacted in violation of the laws and

now this proposition for the resolution has come from 2 u. s. congressman, in particular, it's come from joe wilson and that steve cohen, they're citing the amendments made to the russian constitution signed in april or by vladimir putin. they were one with 77 percent of the russian vote, but they called this is wilson and cohen. i'm talking about here, they've called them complete violation of the law of the russian federation and going again pretty much completely what russia should stand for on the international arena. now we can get what they said in a little bit more detailed in a short clip. here. the 2020 amendments to the russian constitution were enacted in violation of the laws and international commitments of the russian federation. the waiver of the presidential term livid resulting from those amendments is illegitimate. any attempt by vladimir prudent to remain in office beyond the end of its current and final term shall warn non recognition on the part of the united states. now as you can imagine, this has precipitated a swift rea

u. s. companies from trading with anyone linked to the cuban state sanctions also make a complicated for international companies to do business with cuba, especially because so much global trade is done in u. s. dollars. so it has to go through banks and the u. s. u, but still has trade worth hundreds of millions of dollars with other countries like dana, spain, and germany. but the u. s. embargo makes it all more time consuming and more expensive. what's clear is that cube is ability to provide for its people, which let's face it is supposed to be the cuban model. well that's being squeezed like never before and gone. our cube was rich friends for decades, it could count on the soviet union. but when it collapsed than the 1990 s. so did q was economy. that was cuba last big crisis in the 2000 cuba found a new friend in venezuela and benefited from dirt cheap, venezuela oil to use and re sell. all shipments are way down because of us sanctions and the collapse of venezuela economy and oil factor and it's left cuba struggling to keep the lights on. no more power or no, i reckon if the val

the rising oil price comes to spy jo biden's decision to release millions of barrels of oil from u. s. strategic reserves over the coming months. auntie correspondent kellum often assess, is from new york, with the move could actually save biden's plummeting approval ratings. jo biden's claim is that the u. s. economy is recovering better than literally anywhere else on the planet. now this comes after the commander in chief announced he was going to open up the country, strategic petroleum reserve and put $50000000.00 extra barrels of oil onto the market in coming months. many of dismissed this move is simply a publicity stunt not in the least because it only covers no more than a few days supply. i understand that joe biden will be announcing an attack on the newly brimming strategic oil reserves, so that he could get the close to reco setting high oil prices artificially lo it, we were energy independent one year ago. now we're at the mercy of opec. is this anyway to run a country we're experiencing higher prices because the administration and democrats and congress, a waging a war

from the get go. but i have to say the u. s. also has really been having a reduced relationship, a historic relationship between the 2 countries as really getting to the lowest level. there was an open protest that happened in front of the u. s. the u. k embassy. there was a leak of zoom conversation between your leadership of the past and for land bus address. so the u. s. then from you countries talking about post the video was linked by a key to a historian named named jeff pierce, who is in toronto. so the relationship has really suffered. so what has replaced that historic relationship between the u. s. n d r. this countries including u. e, about prime minister abbey himself, the man who said he would lead this fight from the front. well, according to the chief ben spokesperson at the prime minister, still in the battle ground, he's giving a leadership. he has said, there are many people that are joining him and his footsteps and signing up and the hundreds they said in the thousands, perhaps there are also famous ethiopian

from its increased nuclear posturing. either one of them is a serious force to be reckoned with for washington, but both of them together that could be a major obstacle for u. s. foreign policy from the pentagon analyst, marco maloof, or the suspects, the u. s. didn't see russia in china's movies coming when you consider that, since the disasters pull out of afghanistan, the united states is once again been trying to agitate both on the on the western front, with, with nato and in the black sea area. and now in the, in the pacific, somehow to try and rectify it's abysmal failure in after 20 years, an afghan. stan, and i'm afraid that the united states is beginning to overreact and, and you cannot blame russia and china now to decide to band together and deal with this constant. irritant. i think that it is, it is a surprise, somewhat to washington, that the 2 have united and all that they're doing really is looking back on the good old days of the cold war when soviet union and, and china even though they were aligned with one another somewhat, there was an ability to play one off against the other. that's not going to happen today. and they rec, hold corona

u. s. sanctions on their own banking sector, which came into effect in november of 2018 after the u. s. withdrew from that nuclear deal. so the iranians had said that prior to going into vienna for the talks on november 29th, the foreign minister said that as a goodwill gesture, they would like to see $10000000000.00 of funds released from the americans. now that hasn't happened and we still don't know where this money came from as well. but it certainly seems like if the news is to be confirmed by other officials inside the country, that it's going to be seen as a goodwill sign that it's an olive branch before all parties convene in vienna later this month. and certainly before these talks take place, doors, there have been several diplomatic maneuvers on several fronts. certainly the u. s. m. boy, for iran is in the region. he's making his way around the middle east. and we've also got the radian deputy foreign minister alibaba, connie, who's heading the negotiations delegation to vienna from terror on he's been in europe. he was in germany friends and the u. k. yesterday. and he is currently in ma

many cubans have relied on remittances. money sent from their relatives abroad, especially those in the u. s. and that's an important source of dollars for the cuban economy to. but even that top isn't flowing like it used to under president trump, companies like western union were banned from sending cash because they work with a bank in cuba owned by the military. so that dried up a big source of cash and cubans can hardly rely on their own currency the best. so just can't buy them what they need. got even worse when the government de valued the paso back in january as part of a major currency reform would have created an enormous inflation. so the price of food, especially where, where it's a huge mass. and then you add a pandemic which is cut off another economic lifeline for cuba tourist dollars and all those pressures. well, they seem to have pushed cubans to speak out against their government more openly than ever before. more people in cuba, i've lost the fear of being depressed and that going on to streets. people is seen the generation after generation. the time goes by and they ju

u. s. once the u. s. forget from other nations doesn't have to apply to itself. so they can demand saudi arabia, push, pump more oil for our own domestic economy and then force other nations not tasks do the same with bitcoin. we have a consensus, reached every 10 minutes, not once a year or once every few years at various international conferences at which they get to exclude major stakeholders. for example, china, china is over 25 percent of the world's carbon emissions, and yet it's not attending this. why? because of, you know, economic competition between it and the boss at this fiasco conference. so the boss doesn't want them. they are the bosses like a, you know, the empire, the emperor is angry with china for out competing them on so many levels and therefore they're not attending. so what sort of consensus is possible to be reached without one of the major stakeholders being there because of the censorship, essentially, the censorship of theater system, whereby one, the biggest stakeholder could be the boss. you don't get that in bitcoin. if once a tow s
