u. s. orbit. we'd be kind of be couple. well though we're still highly dependent on china for everything. i can use an analogy that china's gone into 1984 and the united states is going into blade runner. so china is highly controlled, it becoming more controlled, they're going to keep making mistakes like they did with bitcoin like they did in this year with the power shortage. you know, they told everyone to meet emission targets, they wouldn't let the coal producers, they wouldn't let the electrical producers increase their price. so they kind of slow walk electric production all the sudden there's no power. they're going to keep making these mistakes as they've centralized. as i've said before, china grew from capitalism. they were the wild west the capitalism, 20 years. finally, when they took over the world economy and they do own the world economy, keep in mind they produce twice. the electric chrissy united states does half of the world's raw materials flow into china for, for processing. their economy is far, far b

u. s. is now completely focused on great power competition. after they left afghanistan, so there is a short window of opportunity. i think that both moscow amazing see before the u. s . military kind of gears up for this great power competition. and they are trying to explain that the leaders are known to share a good personal bond. several countries have declared diplomatic boycotts of dating 2022 winter olympics. but vladimir putin has confirmed his attendance. the only major leader to do so. so far. katrina, you are does irritating. ah, let's bring our guests at joining us from oslo. glenn decent professor of international relations at the university of se, norway and an editor at russia in global affairs from new york. david l. phillips, director of the program on peace building and rights at columbia university. and from london, steve sang director of the china institute at so us university of london a warm welcome to you all. let's begin with steve sang in london. steve, this isn't quite a declaration of a new cold war, but it is an unprecedented declaration of a cooperative agreement between russia and china. what's that based on? well, it is based on a lot of come and inte

u. s. u k. kind of the to actually deploy troops, not simply advisors or trainers, but actual combat troops to the front lines of ukraine to deter any sort of russian aggression. now, going back to the meeting itself, it's all to say what we can expect. but as we say, speculation is been rough in the media with some pretty public figures. also commenting on what we can expect of the dynamic between the 2 leaders says what we got, this is not a match that should even be allowed. this is, take the new england patriots playing your high school football team. that's what you have right now. alone. trump no being who the patriots he's saying is a mismatch. i'm just wondering who has the band in his opinion. he didn't really say that they will ask the question, we'll have to find the answer to because both food is of course we'll be trying to play the best cause we'll be trying to a certain sell was obviously push. brian and the world view here. and if they can find some points of compromise, some points o

ready kind of stuff and, and yet if the u. s. government is trying to close it down and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official u. s. policy from reaching from reaching audiences, including audiences in the us, to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that, and i was surprised because because the united states, in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america we can say anything we want, you know, i can write the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden and not have to worry for a moment about a, the search secret police crashing through my door. but now. 2 things may be changing slightly and it doesn't the order. well. the number of countries, whether do cove at variance omicron is registered has more than doubled in just over a week. the world health organization has the strain has now been found in 57 countries . so far a new policy is a big introduced. ever fears that the rate of hos

u. s. military for raise that promised the way the same went of stability, peace and freedom. but with the growing list of foreign interventions, 10 fella perhaps if kind the u. s. consider a career change from the global policeman. tony blinking has a very difficult job and that is to try and put a good face on a, on bad policy on, on an administration that you know, promised the moon of a can even launch. we haven't had a foreign policy success in decades or invasion of iraq in 2003, of course, predicated on over a decade of, you know, sanctions based containment of saddam hussein. that change the entire middle east, which in turn gains the entire world. not for the better either. so, you know, the united states as a, has a problem. we are in a position where we have the, the power, the, the accumulation of power to, to make this stand and continue to make the stand. and right now, there's not too many nations that can stand up and prevent us from doing it. it doesn't make it right. we've seen the consequences of this. but for the moment, the united states no is a, is a superpower, lacks a moral compass, which nothing but fact low stories just after

u. s. economy and kind of muddy the already uncertain inflation outlook. so the new variant now poses another risk to employment, and in case it becomes more severe and businesses need to shut down again. so now you have greater concerns about the virus, reducing people's willingness to work in person, which would then slow progress in the labor market and ultimately intensify supply chain disruptions. and people might also start to hoard products. again, consumer staples electronics, other goods ahead of time. and this will continue to exacerbate the situation and further drive up prices and inflation. especially if we were to see another lockdown, in which case electronic goods that all have all have the already in short supply microchips, they're going to be the 1st to be snatched up. now chris, they want to go back to kind of what we were talking about there with the increase on the taper. you know, now we've been seeing the last couple of days, markets here in the united states. they've been kind of up and down the last 2 days . we're actually seeing

u. s, which is insistent upon having these kinds of sanction built into the u. s. defense spending bills and it's pretty significant for a couple of reasons. one is because the president himself has been indicating for some time that he does not want to continue to push forward on things and specifically over north stream too, because of pressure. he's getting from germany, the germans don't like this idea. remember, this is not a unilateral measure on the russian part. russia and germany together are saying we want the pipeline. russia says we want to send oil in natural gas pipeline. germany says we desperately need oil and natural gas pipeline, but it does as you know, all go back to this issue of ukraine. the idea is that by russia bypass the ukraine, that somehow this will be harmful to ukraine, or they'll be able to have greater leverage over ukraine. and so the rhetoric doesn't necessarily match the reality. and again, you have to sovereign nation insisting that this is something they both want and both need. and i think the us and finally backing away fro

kind of stuff. and, and yet the, the u. s. government is trying to close down and therefore trying to stop information, which is usually at variance with official u. s. policy from reaching from reaching audiences including audiences in the us to stop journalists from writing for these kinds of websites as a new step. and i think that and i was surprised because because the united states, in fact has a very good track record on when it comes to a free press. i mean, in america, we can say anything we want. yeah, i can write the most outrageous things about george w bush or joe biden and not have to worry for a moment about a the search secret police crashing through my door. but now. 2 things may be changing slightly and it doesn't the order well, me bringing 3 more. will you stories happening now? in fact, multiple people are confirmed, killed a numerous other still missing after a massive gas explosion on the italian on the sicily. look at that terrible. the bloss completely leveled buildings including homes, emergency serv

u. s. seems to be kind of on the tail end of what we're seeing. why weren't we looking for that variant sooner or or what was the what goes into trying to detect this variant? you know what happens is when south africa told us about it told the world about it. there was a specific pcr tests that that some countries use that you can tell really easily if omar corn was there, because there was something called an estrogen drop out, and that's actually likely how other countries didn't really fast. it does take a while to sequence and we do what's called genomic sequencing where they actually sequence of the virus and. really what ended up happening in the u. s is there were epidemiologic clues like yesterday the person who had come from south africa and a flight that prompted a test for him and then the minnesota person. there was an epidemiologic clue what's happening in new york is that looks like community spread. they've already verified that it's nothing to do with travel. in that case, it was it was just people around here. so that's exactly w

u. s. is, has fallen behind. and this new kind of hypersonic missile technology, there's no doubt about it. so the u. s. is unnerved by the latest test and, and therefore, trying to compensate by, among other things, talking tough, making threats, etc. but there's, there's no indication that russia is planning any kind of military provocation. and i said before, every reason to think that it simply is not the way the latter may behave. and this is whether you like, put in or not. but he's a very careful, very deliberate political actor. he doesn't engage in these kinds of this kinds of kinds of loose loose rhetoric and, and dangerous showdown. he clearly wants the us to back off to cease making threats and to try to lower temperatures, eastern ukraine. but ladder is lensky won't let that happen. and the, by the ministration shows every sign of going along the ukrainian government and in terms of the blame game between nato in russia. it's ben bingham fleming. over the years, always has done probably always. well, it's undoubtedly
