well, so are other states that are weakening today. on the one hand, the unitede hegemony of the united states, yin is weakening, and against this background, their independence, their character , their ability to withstand pressure , these states that you called oleg, please give you a word. the international system is, first of all, how the relations between the great powers, that is, its key nodes, are built, and the rest of the states. e can influence or influence, of course, in one way or another on these connections. but uh, if we remember why the system is called, for example, bipolar yes, that, apart from the soviet union and the united states, there were no other states there, dozens were quite powerful, like in the same china india there to some extent, there yugoslavia and so on , but bipolar, because there were two superpowers, there was a european concert, the new of which is that there are five key great powers interacting with each other, therefore, of course, middle-sized states and even small ones, which have, say, strong-willed leaders and know

eh, probably even the united states today is not impossible to call a full-fledged superpower. they are one and only and cash is really without being near the bloc of the state, which they rely on themselves cannot resist. let's say. this is an incredible situation, of course, in which everyone united against the united states about this. but if this happened, the united states themselves would not cope with this, therefore, by and large, if you approach it very strictly, then probably there is not a single superpower in the world today . though of course, of course, the united states deserves this status. much closer than any other country in the world. it's easy, look, viktor nikolaevich correctly noted. let's still define our definition, please, colleagues. on the screen what is a superpower, so that everything becomes clear and understandable to our viewers, a superpower is an independent state with huge cultural, political, economic and military potentials, including a superpowerful nuclear potential, a superpower has superiority over most other states, which allow it to e

to say that we should to be very careful and very circumspect when dealing with the new united states congress today, because yesterday or the day before yesterday, a very serious sociological study appeared in the united states, which shows that the republican party has reduced the number of votes for providing aid to ukraine and here there are problems. i am afraid that there will be problems, although i am more or less inspired by the optimistic statement of secretary of state blinkin if he believes that bipartisan bipartisanship is the policy of the united states and will remain unchanged and that a healthy core of the so-called reaganists in the republican party will support ukraine in the time when we see that the radical trumpists are unfortunately refusing to support ukraine and are demographically populist shouting that look, you are coming to gas stations there with increased prices for gasoline, why give money to ukraine, i hope that ukraine in its foreign policy in its relations with the united states will take this factor into account and will work among the republican party to explain

expensive to give up everything and be a country that agreed and believed its partners but the united states today, i believe, they are still trying to fulfill er. maybe with a delay, but to fulfill the obligations assumed at any cost. it did not cost us. today we are doing very well . one task for the authorities today is to understand whether it is necessary to enter into any such agreements that absolutely can, well, let's say this, except for 20 years, they didn't give us anything else, that's because we've already had more than eight years of war, this is the ninth year, and we understand that those guarantees weren't worth it because it is not possible to conclude anything with such an aggressor country as russia, and in general, any peace treaties without its collapse as a prison of nations . so to speak, it will be a few more years oleksiy ezhik, analyst of the national institute of strategic studies, expert on international policy, contact us glory to ukraine, oleksiy, i congratulate you, i congratulate you so, 28 years ago, the budapest memorandum was signed yes and here now we are not e

united states. not just. and it, by the way, testifies to how desperate and difficult the military and economic situation of ukraine is todays was given this decision, the washington post writes. look, this is going to be the most difficult arms deal ukraine has received to date, said mark konchan, a retired officer from the center for strategic and international studies specializing in arms deals, if the ukrainians had a year or two to deal with the petriots. it wouldn't be a problem. i'm guessing the pentagon is very concerned, which is why the pentagon said over the end that the pentagon is taking a very big risk here in deploying the patriot system. i think they decided that because the need for air defense is so huge they are ready to take risks that they have not taken before. well, i have already said, uh, in a conversation with dmitry sals, that in this case i am worried not only about the decision of the papedre itself. there's a trend since, the more desperate becomes the position of ukraine on the more risky steps. the united states is on the move, and based on this logic, it can be fully assumed that, the worse

nation. iran has been removed from the un commission on the status of women after voted by the united states. today has been criticized for suppressing the wave of protest that began with the death of martha, many in police custody in september, a diplomatic. it is a james base reports. it was the u. s. ambassador to the united nations, linda thomas greenfield, who decided to draw up a resolution to expel iran from the u. n's, main body, which deals with the rights of women. she argues that iran's actions since the protest began following the death of massa meanie in september, disqualify it from membership of the commission on the status of women. but before the vote, iran's ambassador argued, the move had no precedent and was entirely the result of hostility towards iran by the u. s. and its allies, one member at willing member natalia's for disobeying the un charter international law, intend to pursue. it's unlawful request would remove an elected member from the commission on the, on the base of on funded camps and fabricated arguments. the council now proceed to vote on the vote conducted usin

we see very little action in the united states senate today and that speaks to his dysfunction.ost: from san diego california, on the republican line, this is roberta. caller: to begin with, i am an active person and trying to make a difference in things and i sit here and watch people in congress not want to take your phone calls. they say you are not a my district i don't want to hear it. you can call a congressional office, if they don't take what you have to say with any meeting it all, it never goes anywhere. that is the gospel truth. and never goes anywhere. we sit here and everyone says how much they care and we have inflation for two years, we have some serious issues of how we have chipped into the social security amount of money because of inflation for two years. last year, i got 107 and usually i would get $22 or things like that. that is a huge problem for the future and no one talks about it. everyone says they care. thank you for listening. guest: i think that underscores the concerns that i see with the lame-duck. americans need to understand that they are not ru

and political science, a guest of the program today. er, which was just touched upon by the ambassador. but first, about the weapons that the united states does not give. so today it has finally become known that the united states will not give the patriots, we will talk about the military significance of this a little later in the program. i want to ask you about the political significance of this decision. that ukraine has been receiving weapons for months, when they were needed yesterday, why did they finally dare now? first of all, ukraine is experiencing catastrophic missile attacks, and it is clear that without the means of high-quality air defense a new type of ukrainian pp will not be able to do so on its own, because even if they make extraordinary efforts, they sometimes shoot down up to 80% of missiles and drones that are launched at ukraine, but this is not enough to protect the civilian population from a humanitarian disaster, the first reason, the second reason is no less important. but only now the ukrainian armed forces were finally able to prove to the bureaucrats in various states in various capitals of the world that t

impeachment inquiry, the united states age ukraine and her people so that we can fight rush over there and we don't have to fight russia here. now unfortunately, it looks like today we're seeing exactly that ukrainians, fighting and dying to accomplish the united states foreign policy objectives. and unfortunately, it looks like he has learned nothing from the neglect with which us forces treated their former allies in afghanistan as the smoke of war. cleared, but also another topic of the u. s. secretary of state has praised washington's assistance efforts overseas and reiterated america's commitment to afghanistan. as we look ahead to 2023, we will continue to use all of our diplomatic tools to drive these clarity and many others, including maintaining our commitment to the people who are going to stand, particularly those who support the u. s. mission there over 20 years, as well as the stand up for the rights of women and girls. on friday, the u. s. loa house will vote on a government funding bill, which are us based human rights group has denounced completely forgetting afghans the so called a, a scan adjustment actors are portly, being dropped from the bill

when beethoven was born the united states that today honors the cultures of all nations in these halls of learning had not been founded. this fact gives a special significance to the manuscript of americans prize above all others in the library's collection. the declaration of independence and shrine and a wall where it seen by all who enter this sanctuary of freedom is the earliest statement of american purpose. these people know much of it by heart. we hold these truths to be self-evident. that all men are created equal that they are undowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. that among them are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. thomas jefferson who wrote those phrases 169 years ago and who pledged his life to give the meaning? was one of the founders of the library of congress he knew that democracy must eventually be based on the foundation of an enlightened people. that is why placing facts within reach of the citizen becomes the business of a government. and that is why the first tuesday in every month is so important to our young friend and the farmers in

the focus here is on digital currencies and i think it is important but i also think that the united states today is not really competing with china. i mean, china is trying to catch up. and they are use various methods in order to catch up. so the united states does not have to have a central bank digital currency at this point. it could become more interesting at a future point in time. for the chinese, however, it is crucial to have a central bank digital currency in order to get where, anywhere close to where the united states is today. >> you've written about this i know in "the washington post" about dollar dominance and the chinese trying to catch up. you're saying now that we don't need a cbdc to persist dollar dominance? >> if we're looking at the role of the dollar in the international system, china is nowhere near the united states. china is trying to find inroads and various avenues in order to compete with the united states. but it's coming from a very, very low floor. >> and could a well-regulated stable coin marketplace in the united states help us box cpp out from trying to contes

that's why you see ukrainian flags flying all over the united states today. in blue states and red states. we support their right to be its also coming at a time when congress is supplying a new record amount of funding to ukraine. we are going to pass, perhaps in the next 48 hours, a new $46 billion aid package for ukraine. the president will announce an immediate $2 billion new investment in ukraine when president zelenskyy arrives. it will be a clear signal both to russia, but also to our friends that the united states isn't going away. that we are going to stand with ukraine to make sure they win this war. i think it will be an extraordinary emotional evening. i can't wait to be in the chamber for it. >> is that additional $2 billion you talked -- you talked about $46 billion. is that in addition to the $2 billion economic and weapons, a combination? >> the president is announcing a new $2 billion -- $1.8 billion commitment based upon previous authorizations by congress. at the heart of that is this new commitment to provide anti-missile patriot systems to

keep working on that effort, and we should note that brittney griner is on her way back to the united states today. folks really welcoming that news across the united states because there was such a public push for her to get released, from the basketball community, from the lgbtq community. also from african american community here in the united states, and according to a uae official, it was a meeting with the president of the uae and president putin that was part of securing this deal because brittney griner was actually exchanged today in abu dhabi for viktor bout. >> incredible to see her on that plane, and we know her health was of concern as of late and her mental health definitely top of mind for people. we saw that big sigh of relief from her wife cherelle who spoke this morning alongside president biden when he announced she was on her way home, but brittney gr griner's wife also, phil, acknowledging that she was coming home without someone else, another american there, paul whelan, and noting as happy as she is and relieved that she is that her wife is coming home, that they have not fo

very much for your comment igor eisenberg professor of new york university live from the united states of america todayabout the visit of volodymyr zelensky to i will remind the united states of the first visit of the ukrainian president outside of ukraine after the full-scale russian invasion. zelensky plans, among other things, to speak before the american congress. and although personally zelenskyi will speak there for the first time. the speech of the ukrainian president in the us congress will not be heard for the first time. in september 2014, the then ukrainian president petro poroshenko spoke before the congress. his almost hour-long speech was interrupted by applause more than 10 times . the same as zelensky in 2022 for weapons, in the 14th year poroshenko asked to provide ukraine with lethal weapons as well as the status of an ally outside nato, but the then us president barack obama refused to give her the first and second from the us congress. poroshenko received a standing ovation and a weapon. so far , publications with such headlines appeared on radio svobo . with a speech before the con

we got this hit to lower as a result of what we seen out of the united states today. talk about what's happening, every single sector is in their ash is in negative -- every sector is in negative territory today. the areas outperforming, the car sector is down pretty hard today. the fact that tesla is offering incentives is quite significant. technology, that the micron effect. industrial goods and services and luxury tracking lower. the retail story in just a moment. the data out of the u.k. for the consumer is really quite bleak, of the cost-of-living crisis is certainly having an effect. you look at what's happening with earnings, with income adjusted for inflation tracking lower again. volkswagen is down by 4.51%. some reports earlier than we could see some industrial acts at vw plants. i think more broadly we see a rotation away from the auto sector, there's also the tesla incentive story. vw is just instructive as they picked a story on what's happening, of technology sector into the dust ship equipment maker down by 4.76%. having quite a big effect in europe. al

united states who can make these decisions. that's the president of the united states. the president decided to make the difficult decision today to see brittney's release. he decided to make the difficult decision back in april to see trevor reed's release. and we are prepared to be creative and potentially make those difficult decisions once more if it means bringing paul home. >> democratic senator chris coons said today the more the u.s. makes these kinds of exchanges, the greater the risk, he says, of more americans being detained down the road. is he right? >> well, look, wolf, we have two imperatives. and i say this speaking from the state department where this is especially meaningful to us. we have an imperative to get wrongfully detained americans home, americans who are wrongfully detained or held hostage anywhere around the world. and we have made good on that imperative when it comes to russia, when it comes to venezuela, when it comes to burma, when it comes to a number of countries over the course of this administration. but we also have a second imperative. and that is an imperative to deter countries, or even n
