united states today produces much of its own oil. it is not as dependent as it was back in the 1900 seventy's, the overthrown and murdered long time leader of libya. mark adolphe, he played an outsized role in shaping modern day opec methodology. how would you describe his efforts? i mean, was he just sort of like a guy trying to unionize these mostly, or a oil producing states or would it be like something else to dock? he was a true arab nationalist. he believed that the solution to the world was to unify all of the arabs, as they said, from the ocean to the gulf, from morocco to alma. now his porky personality often got in the way of his political objectives and he never did successfully unify libya with any other country. but he certainly had a dream puppy unified arab world, which would dominate opec even more than the our world dominates it today. let's shift gears a little bit and place them focused on saudi arabia. now the us relies heavily, i would say, even primarily on saudi oil, the u. s. a. saudi arabia, as number one cu

or the relationship between saudi arabia in the united states is very on equal or the united states provide saudi arabia with security, particularly against external foes. without americans support saudi arabia would have been toppled by masters egypt in 1900 fifties by saddam hussein. in the 1990 s, it would have been at the mercy of up to soviets. us support has been crucial for the survival of the kingdom. this kingdom provides united states with some of this oil. but the united states also produces a lot of its own oil and has increasingly gotten to find new ways of developing oil . and if you look at the future, not the next 10 months, but the next 10 years. as climate change increasingly drives american politics in economics, we're going to be less and less reliant on fossil fuels. that's a good thing, but it also means we won't need the saudis that much anymore. the saudis, on the other hand, don't have an alternative to the united states for secured. clearly, russia is not going to be able to provide security for anybody is losing the war in the ukraine. and the chinese aren't that

but on all the united states, those exactly united states was always the bill was 6. hello, russia from that project? i mean, since the 2nd since the end of the, of the 2nd world war that was the united states project with russia from european past. so you got this back, it's my knowledge is correct. i think that russia despise all the price. got put on by we can start dorothy was in russia. she'd never stop talking to europe. never. that's my, that's my, my, my understanding of jason in particular now in that period in which globalization, since, as we know it seems to be at the n or after 9, we need to fax, re signer in this war. well, you're getting way ahead of me. it's on my checklist of questions, right? you're going to get great minds think alike. ok. brad basically the same question, but you know, brad, because he says that you know, russian needs to keep talking to europe. but i mean, if europe wants to control the conversation, what is the point of having a conversation? ok, i mean, it has to be a 2 way street. it's not that way. right now. i don't think it'

after all, the united states is a big power. they need to really shoulder greater responsibilities rather then scheming for a wall with other countries, especially with china. china has a population of 1400000000 people, more than 4 times larger than the united states. and china has a much larger manufacturing capacity than the united states. china's production of iron and steel is many folds that to all the united states. therefore, for any one in washington to talk about, a war with china will lead it to their own suicide. i'm afraid it's much better to talk about peace rather than agitate for war. victor. gov, vice president of a center for china global. i think thank. thank you very much for your time today, sir. thank you very much for having me. thank you. all right, a testy exchange, next year, an rti is option locks the ones with the head of the movies. there are a group of private military companies, seeing by some nato, was out, church rushes, wagner couch for the discussion. next thing going on to product. ah, for oh,

i was in march or april last year in the united states and a washington, d.c., and representatives ofhe state department at the pentagon and the national security council, they all said that the german media makes such a great push in germany to push the german new government for the hundred billion euro for militarization and sending weapons and arms to ukraine. it must be something wrong if representatives of a third state like in the united states are saying the german press is working well. the problem is, the german mainstream press is so much involved, inc. within the atlantic council, transatlantic think tanks, and so on, so many editors, mate editors, chief editor inc. and the translated ash cooperated and the transatlantic think tank. that is the problem. we have the policy of interest of the united states and i believe not even the interest of the population of the people in the united states cometh the interest of the elite -- it is the interest of the elite, the neocons in the united states are having obviously the position that europe -- like in america in the 1970's, a c

do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and you will well and faithfully discharge the duty of the office you are about to enter, so help you god? >> i do. >> congratulations, madam president pro tem.

the united states in europe are fully united. this morning. i had a long conversation with our nato allies, german chancellor, sholtes friends, president mac groan, prime minister's nook, and the italian prime minister maloney, to continue our close coordination in there for support of ukraine. because you all know of incentives for a long time. the expectation in the part of russia is we're going to break up. we're not going to stay united, but we are fully thoroughly totally united. was spring, approaching, ukrainian forces are working to defend the territory. they hold and prepared for additional counter offenses to liberate their land. they need to be able to counter russia's evolving tactics and strategy on the battlefield. in the very near term, they need to prove their ability to maneuver and open terrain. and they need an enduring capability to deter and defend against russian aggression over the long term secretary of state, the secretary of, of the military, i be behind me, are they, they've been deeply, deeply involved in this, this

the failed plans of the united states are absurd. the politicians of this country have proved the importance of establishing peace in the world and the fight against terrorism. the economy is a key determining point . a strong economy is a strong point and an important factor in the country's impregnability and impenetrability. wealth has an effect on human materiality and spirituality. of course, the economy is not the goal of the islamic society, but it is a means without which it is not possible to emphasize and strengthen the country's independent economy, which is based on mass production and quality, justice-oriented distribution, and consumption as much as possible. extravagance is the managerial relationship of wise people in recent years, it has been repeated and emphasized by me many times because of its impact that the economy can have on the life of the society today and in the future. internally, there is a challenge, the external challenge is the sanction of the enemy's temptations, if the internal problems are correcte

latin america is historically perceived by the united states as such a kind of backyard foreign policyactivity that the soviet union showed in the latin american direction in the late eighties, just considered itself one of the states, well, in fact, interference in this backyard was impossible in any in any case to allow, and the penetration of communism communist regimes that were so strong in latin america in general, an example of cuba. it has always been before the eyes of the united states, but here it certainly is. e possibility, as in the same domino effect, the fall of some regimes, the spread of others, the panama canal zone. uh, it was precisely american territory. that is, there was an american garrison. which controls the zone and the profits from the nam canal went to the united states. well, in the seventies , the united states government agreed with the government of panama that in 1999. and the lease of the panama canal will finally end and the panama canal will be transferred to the panamanian government as the deadline approached when it was necessary to transfer the

regarding the support of ukraine regarding the weapons that the united states provides to ukrainel, of course, that ukraine wants more, it is absolutely clear hmm i think i have always repeated it, i repeat that the determining factor in this combination is the united states are provided to ukraine, there are two of the most determining such factors, the first is constantly analyzed whether russia can respond to the supply of this or that weapon to ukraine, again, the combination tripods eh want to prevent russia from using weapons of mass destruction i.e. nuclear weapons chemical eh bacteriological weapons and one more factor is how quickly the armed forces of ukraine will be able to use this or that weapon this is also in your ether i about a week ago well, i don't remember which day serhiy zgurets was a guest , i forgot his last name, he gave a very, very useful comment, or what to do to make american tanks appear in ukraine, we need to create a repair base it takes time, we have to teach the ukrainian crew, it takes time again, so i think that no one will inform us whether suc

and then a united states after, you know, united nations united states, i believe that also offer cuba not doing a most hi thomas in the monday and the human with that help because they, the spot they keep on people. is that what they show in the moment they refuse these things or not? i, they go there a day that actually they know i, they both the longest a, b, b, i used to use that is them by my addition to every guy that is, wow, this fun right now. if you, if you can see the man in the say i didn't, they have possible me a now, why are they in that amount in the, in bible they are demanding the end of the day. and the end of the day we are, you know, we have the right to the side. i did you sign a legal system that i have been kidnapped by only dictatorship for more than 60? i'm just going to jump in the room or if they get a chance to respond because she has a point, doesn't she? let's look at the recent protests in 2021. up to 700. i rested from those protests in human rights. i was actually, i, i was in cuba, 11th of july. i believe that maria was, and i've written about my expe

c, in the united states. how do you see the divide this beginning to develop, develop here over ukraine? well, the 1st the, let me just say couple of things about europe. so obviously the europeans have been pulled together with the americans by the, by an administration. we know what the biden did with regard to the war in ukraine . however, we are beginning to see strains in europe in terms of inflation, in terms of people not finding enough gas to keep themselves warm and, and, and so on. so it seems to me that the, that the americans and the europeans pulling together, it may be a done deal at least until $22425.00. if we do have donald trump or another donald trump, in, in the, in the, in the white house, combine that with europe in, in patients over the prices of energy and so on. and then i think you begin to get a different configuration. and china comes into, into that, we've already heard noises from japan just recently. and about, you know, that concerns about china and the japanese were pulled int

so, and because the united states, the relationship has been as, as stated, even by many american president and officials, the united states is committed to the facility and the survival of the saudi monarchy over the past few decades. and most of that source is not the as, as claimed because oil saudi oil in the united states is very minimal. but in terms of being a customer for american on was so there it is, number one and the saudi government. and the market has spent a lot of money in washington in there. and i say in general, basically buying influence in universities, media, reporters, politicians, past and current american officials and both sides of the democratic site and the republican side in congress and government. so that relationship is definitely a symbiotic relationship because you have a small group of people that is a monarchy or the those people who are now in control of the country among the monarchy, who require security and defense against 1st and foremost, their own people. and the united states have provided that security and protection in spite of any denial. thes

ladies and gentlemen, the honorable nancy pelosi speaker of the united states house of representatives. as speaker of the house, is my privilege to welcome you to the united capitol as we celebrate one of our nation's finest presidents, president harry truman. there's only fitting that this son, independence, missouri, takes his rightful place here in the rotunda of our temple of democracy, the united states capitol. now, at the time at this time, please rise, as you are able for the presentation colors and for the national anthem anthem. oh. oh. oh, say, can you see i'm standing. i'm what's up. oh, really is this time i. whose drives i'm trying. slides on. i'm sorry. oh so god sees. and the rock. bombs bursting. on the eyes and i'm like still. oh say does the stars. oh god no. more than of the dreams and oh oh oh. oh. the ladies and gentlemen, please remain standing for the invocation by senate chaplain dr. barry black. let pray the eternal god creator of great love lives. we praise you for this statue, dedication and that honors the laudable life of harry truman, the 33rd president o

and the meanwhile in the west farther north the united states and england were both laying claim to the oregon territory. so if you want to imagine the modern states of idaho and washington and oregon, but also british columbia up to up to the end of the southern panhandle of alaska. that's that's the oregon territory and they were sharing it which is fairly rare. that is a jointly occupied the orient territory. and if either one of them was good at no longer want to jointly occupy and draw borderline somewhere. they had to give the other one a year's notice. the mexicans living in new mexico and in california depended on american trade for manufactured goods and the government's depended on that trade for for revenue. the mexican officials there. there was very loose control if any between those places and and mexico city where the government is. so what's what's spain had believed and then and then later mexico believed that in order to control what they called the northern frontier. what becomes the the us southwest that that's so far from the capital at mexico. they needed to settle

yet they resent serious global threats both to the united states and western interests and our alliesround the world. how do you see the current state of play in the tourist threat posed specifically by the isis islamic state? >> i think you describe it accurately what's happening especially in iraq and syria with the islamic state. just in the last year we have seen the removal of the last two isis -- and terry on based on a raid by the department of defense but another just from local dynamics that really was the signal of the pressure that is multifactorial in syria and also in iraq. we have good partnerships with democratic forces and iraqi security forces. if you look at the stats that they have been able to put up against isis in syria and i back over the last year it's over threaded operations that have a significant impact that pets the threat at bay and yet we see isis' expansion across the african community and imitations of isis corresponding and afghanistan and ambition that might go beyond that immediate territory. even if there has been an amazing effort and the coalitio

do you solemnly swear that you will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic, that you will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that you take this s obligation frey without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and you will well and faithfully discharge the duty of the office you are about to enter, so help you god? >> i do. >> congratulations, senator grassley and to the whole family, congratulations. and let's do that. >> so glad i learned to read. >> congratulations to you. there you are. >> her name is skyler. >> congratulations. >> thank you very much. >> supporting the leadership of senator grassley, thank you, nice to be with you. rassley. thank you, very nice to meet you. congratulations ... [background noises] your name? reagan. >> like to meet you reagan. congratulations. congratulations to the whole family. congratulations. >> and right in front of grandma. [background noises] [inaudible conversations] >> some people on this site,eo please. >> okay. come on. >> congratulations. congratulations, jj. con

that's what the united states of nato is doing. in europe in ukraine, what we know they are doing, however less about china, too, do not forget. yes, of course, you see, actually. it's very interesting that you brought this topic up, because quite recently it occurred to me that both world wars. they were lost because the power that started them fought on two fronts. so this is exactly the same trap that hits the united states today, fighting on two fronts. she runs the risk of being defeated just as germany was in the position of being defeated in 1918 and 1945 today. it's perfect definitely not in the interests of the united states, but nevertheless we see how i would not say that it is the united states itself that is their purposeful policy. i would say that this is the policy of certain populist political figures in the united states who are trying to earn political points for themselves by supporting taiwan, anti- chinese rhetoric of various kinds of travel statements, and so on, many european politicians are now embarking on

which is the united states of america. i have reasserted, reaffirmed that president biden is a man with convictions who maintains principles, ideals to guarantee, to ensure as many others, men, women, in the united states and throughout the world. and the statue of liberty never, never, ever should become a symbol of void, an empty symbol. let me conclude by saying that my professor great poet, my master, my teacher, in 1930, he said that the wish of freedom, of liberty is the biggest fruit that has materialized, that is in the heart of humans. to be doing that we have to be free. the sentiments of justice are the children of freedom, of liberty, never, ever being slaves will we be able to be just and fair. thank you very much. [applause] >> now, let's begin a q&a session. ladies and gentlemen, the u.s. press, your excellency, joseph biden jr., president of the united states of america, will take questions from a journalist, a reporter from the united states. please. president biden: all right. i was having trouble hearing

resists the united states, is labeled on democratic, eventually criminal. any state that confronts or entity that confronts the united states becomes a terrorist state or a terrorist entity. he said, look, we have no problem with the united states. we won't, we don't chic partake. what is american? what we want is to keep what is russia and that he says, we're not prepared to give up. he went on into details, as was mentioned, that there have been assassination attempts by us sponsor groups as well as bio employees of united states intelligence agencies aimed against the wagner group. he says, there are plenty of with video, and his organization is the possession of plenty of videos that would prove this one african say the u. s. con label. the wagner group has an ontario strip since america's themselves have mercenaries in ukraine hill fighting against russia. the death done in us, one of the great threats to the western world is in a way, wagner, who has set out in a way to conquer the interests of some western countries. in particular, france, england, an

united states instead and demanded what's called the latest version based on nato, which the united states runs, of course, in which europe would be subordinate to the united states. this became a major issue with the collapse of the soviet union. mikhail gorbachev proposed a common european home from lisbon to lot of us that no military alliances, no victors, no defeated, common efforts to move forward towards a more or less social democratic eurasia. united states was strongly opposed, insisted on the atlanta system, or put in as in say, oh for the united states. it's highest wish preferred europe at least temporarily. it was in his abandoned search for independence. shanisha joining us subordinating itself to the states to which she seemed to which some would say they were already bases at ramstein in britain aircraft carrier for the united states for so so long we're running a little bit shorter time professor chomsky i want to get to something really disturbing in what you've been writing recently. i thought you said and coming from the pioneer of generative grammar, i'm saying that p

the united states. it's very hard to see how the united states can back away from where it's come to. and in fact, all the indications up that the united states is preparing to escalate those an article in the new york times of the other day in which was clearly us officials briefly new york times reported that they were planning to help you crane target of targets inside russia, including crimea, once the united states goes down this path, then i think it's all bets are off and, and then we really are in the territory of shooting was. so i wouldn't be quite so optimistic. well, because the nuclear power and it won't come to that, i think that it could well come to that simply because this is where we've got to. because once united states in box on this course, helping to target targets inside russia, russia will retaliate. the 1st thing it will do will be to target american satellites. it has to because it's the use of satellites that enables this targeting to take place. and then who knows how the uni

the united states government understands for well, these n g o r a tool of saw power for american foreign policy. i mean, if you look at the n g o site, again in the state of they've always consider themselves to be sort of the loyal opposition to the united states government. and they're happy to go to math against the official designated enemies of the united states government. but they don't want to come see united states government, they sort of policy for in a row. what can i say? you know, i can give you an example on yeah, i've done some pro bono work for the american indian movement. going back to 1992. i was there at their request o. c. o, special prosecutor, the united states government in san francisco tribunal for inflicting international crimes against indigenous people. people of color here in the united states, which that's exactly when i 1st got involved in dealing with american indian issues . so amnesty international ah launched a big campaign on behalf of indigenous people all over the world. ok. so they sent me this cam. i'm still on the board of the time. they sent me

of the united states. in new york. on the second question, i have not seen the video but i have been briefed on that video. it is deeply disturbing. let will me say horrific, from the descriptions i've been given. i want to give my deepest condolences to tyre nichols' family. i can't imagine the feelings that his parents must feel under these circumstances. the united states attorney has met personally with the family to express the condolences and express his own. we have opened last week a federal civil rights investigation under the color of law statute. which we will be investigating. we have been working in support of the state and local law enforcement in this matter. and we will continue to do so. i do want to say, and i want to repeat what the family has said. that expressions of concern when people see this video, we urge that they be peaceful and nonviolent. that's what the family has urged and that of course is what the justice department urges as well. reporter: anything you can detail more abo

and what is the amount in technological improvements the united states? and for president lopez obrador, how will mexico be prepareto receive all the migrants the uned states will be expelling from its territory and the new migration center in the southern part of mexico, what is it all about? and then after this summit, are we going to be seeing changes in migration policies and the way migrants are being treated? and finally, let me -- this is for president biden. what actions are you going to be implementing, what's the impact -- [indiscernible] -- because the cartel of the pacific is one of the inmate fentanyl producers. finally, another question, on energy sector consultations, president biden, prime minister trudeau, did you discuss those discussions about the usmca epidemic? president lopez obrador: very well. we did speak about migration in a very broad manner. of course there is cooperation with the u.s. administration and at the same time we have the commitment to protect migrants. what president biden has proposed is absolutely true. if migrants

but in iran, on the one side and the united states and israel on the other. since the founding of the islamic republic in 1979 war has never broken out between washington and terran. but nor has there been any real dialogue. the 2 enemies have repeatedly failed to reconcile their longstanding differences and consider each other as valid counterparts. for its part, israel perceives iran as an increasingly radical and deadly threat until the shia theocracy recognized as the legitimacy of the jewish state progress will remain impossible. for over 40 years, hostility has been the norm for over 40 years. the same deadly spiral of confrontation and tolerance and hatred with each side set upon destroying the other intent upon opening one front after another and thereby ruling out any possibility of dialogue and peace. ah ah ah ah a beginning of a story that moves us and takes us along for the ride. it's only about to perspective culture information this is dw and d w. lead from mines. oh mm hm. what are sports all about in winning fighting scoring. we say they were

cannot support an autocratic state because the united states cannot states should support a corrupt always, when we define certain priorities within ukraine, we must always understand that we can count on support and of the united states and the entire democratic world, when we will first be an effective country, a country that defends and defends itself, but when we will also be a democratic country and a country that will eventually overcome corruption within the state, in your opinion, can the future be our victory, we are all sure that it will be an indulgence for any government, no matter who it is now, and it was not embodied physically in our country, or could all this be the intelligentsia for the mistakes that everyone makes absolutely so for maybe somewhere even conscious or unconscious sabotage of certain processes and how we will be after the war excuse me for not asking the question wake up in a country whose society was used to martial law the thesis cannot be criticized because the war and here is our society, which exists and has the ability to ask questions, maybe i

but you don't want to come see united states government, they sort of policy for in a row. what can i say? you know, i can give you an example on yeah, i've done some pro bono work for the american indian movement. going back to 1992. i was there at their request. i was seeing a special prosecutor, the united states government in san francisco tribunal for inflicting international crimes against indigenous people and people of color here in the united states, which that's exactly when i 1st got involved in dealing with american indian issues . so amnesty international law launched a big campaign on behalf of indigenous people all over the world. ok, so they sent me this cam. i'm still on the board at the time. they sent me the campaign literature that that was going on all over the world. and guess what? they said absolutely nothing in there. i'm the genocidal plight of indigenous people here in the united states and canada. not a work. i've worked up in canada for what they call 1st nations up there. not a word. it eod i. but what do you do? it's just stuck. there it is. o

couldn't gave united states and gifted it greatly relishes, it drove europe into the pocket of the united states. there's been a debate all through the cold war back to the 1940s as to whether europe should move in an independent direction be what was sometimes called a 3rd 3rd force in international affairs which pressed most vigorously, but chose to goal deliberate us politic gestures of palm and others, united states instead and demanded what's called the atlanta sister based on nato, which the united states runs, of course, in which europe would be subordinate to the united states. this became a major issue with the collapse of the soviet union. mikhail gorbachev proposed a common european home from lisbon de la, reversed no military alliances, no victors, no defeated, common efforts to move forward towards a moralist, social democratic eurasia. united states was strongly opposed, insisted on the atlanta system, or put in as in say, oh for the united states. it's highest wish preferred europe at least temporarily. it within has abandoned search for independence finish. joining us subo

united states. lizzie espionage act, tonight's, it goes back to 1917 quarter of the harshest repression in american history. wilson administration bitter attacks on any one who questioned the nobility of a participation in the 1st world war. a major attacks on labor, on decisions on intellectual opinion. it is part of the repression as an enormous impact on american society, listed until the prison legacy. israel been used for essentially that purpose for over and over the most extreme was actually barack obama. ready or the current case is a sage is being charged under the espionage at the act should not be on the books in any democratic society. but to the main crime, this is exposure of materials that state once suppressed. you've been attacked her most of your life via circle made stream media, but do you think it's getting worse now? you might have to remind some people about what you and at the home and said in manufacturing consent to differentiate propaganda from, say, style in a soviet time

the united states, the you, it's not a country. this is disjointed, countries that are being forced against each other. and i just as you know, the globalization has created a natural relationship between russia and that you integrating both of these economies. i think that there is a natural relationship between the russian people and people in europe. here, there is a natural political relationship just as globalization has been fruitful for both sides in russian energy creating europe's industrial base. i believe that the russian people are inextricably connected to people here in europe, not least because they are european of course, you know, i think that we have to be clear that it's washington doing this. and i think that russia should continue to engage in europe because russia needs to be a political actor in europe. and that's also because the united it part of its grand strategy is to force it to compete with china by pushing it out of europe, forcing it to be an asian power enforcing china and russia to compete against

that explains, that means that the united states, as it was, after 9891991. the collapse of the soviet union that the united states is not just 1st among equals, but really the dominant power in the world. and we essentially bungled that opportunity the last time by invading iraq and squandering our own power and ruining our finances. there is a 2nd opportunity looming to met numerous domestic problems in china. and the other one is the potential disintegration of russia. if those things occur, then there really is no competitor to the united states on the world stage. however, there is ad, you're assuming, it's something kneecaps, china, and that's not a perspective we often hear right now. correct. i am i shy away from the china hawks. i am not convinced that we are inevitably headed towards a new cold war with china. i actually think russia represents the more dire and potent threat right now. china is been pretty careful, but china is domestic problems. i do not think that it is faded, that the united china will surpass the united states. i don't buy it.

the ukraine war brought europe and the united states closer together. but a domestic politics on both sides of the atlantic, pulling them apart. let's get to the bottom line. ah, when russia invaded ukraine almost a year ago, nato went from being brain dead in the words of french president emanuel macaroni to the most essential organisation for world peace. every staff how support the western but international order. see it right now, but are there signs that the cohesion inside europe and between europe in the united states is frame, especially in the united states, where china is now seen as a much bigger threat than russia. and folks would rather focus on the cost of living here instead of funding wars abroad. today we're talking with boris ruger, the former deputy ambassador of germany to the united states. and currently the vice chairman of the influential munich security conference which convenes next month. and jacob halliburton, editor of the national interest magazine, and senior fellow at the atlantic councils, eurasia center, and our very own
