no serious person could take victoria newland seriously. she's a joke. not only is she unimpressive as a person and she's not pro american, by the way, she's one of the architects of the disaster in iraq. so why is she still talking about foreign policy? is the guy who designed chernobyl still building nuclear reactors? probably not. only in washington where failure is rewarded could someone like victoria newland wield power, which she does. it's scary when you think about it. victoria newland is driving our ukraine policy, which is being justified by our broader support for "democracy." keep that in mind as you listen to this. this is the same -- the same victoria newland that was caught on tape scheming about how to end democracy in ukraine. here's newland in a leaked audio recording plotting the overthrow of ukraine's democratically elected president. listen as she rattled off a list of puppets to install. >> i think yatz has the governing experience. what he needs is book on the outside. he needs to be talking to them four times a week, you know. i j

in pushing that narrative and out victoria newland is, is, is a very hostile toward russia and she's very, and she was very much involved in the overthrow of a legitimate government in ukraine, along with then vice president biden. and it's to, it's to their interest to try and push they, the nato alliance up to the border. and you've got to keep in mind who victoria newlands married to and that that's robert kagan and he is the nea con. nia cons, nia cobb. as far as i'm concerned and is in their interest to push nato it up to the border for containment purposes of russia proper. now, pub, ukraine has its own internal problems. it really is not eligible to join nato, even if it wanted to. because it has internal strife under the, under the rules of the alliance. and you don't see, and, and stoughton burgess pushing the same narrative along with deputy or long with us . secretary defense, lloyd austin, of pushing a ga, into nato. and add both of those are considered to be red lines for, for moscow. so if you do, the united states is coming half way around the world to, to assert

well, let's talk a little bit about what victoria newland said. i mean, cutting russia out of swift, the international finance financial system that would be a catastrophic step. that's something that the united states has has not done at all yet. so do you think that is an actual possibility? no, i don't think so. i mean look, i'm not belinda and i come from from a dinner with for a member stephen, chairman parliament. and we know that if we put russia out of every international connection, then we increase the risk of a war, not only in ukraine, but also on other parts of the we need to keep russia would in says the need to keep russia would in that determine we need to keep rush hour in the glove of for some of peace and understanding and if you put it out, then russia has no reason not to play a poet game. so if we start to, to, to put it out on the 1st sentence, then, i mean, why shouldn't russia then take action on its own hand? and so we have to end just spiral of escalation and even to think about to put and to push russia out of swift is

. >>> let's bring in under secretary of state for political affairs, victoria newland. secretary newland, thanks for joining us this afternoon. national security adviser jake sullivan told reporters that the u.s. does not think that president putin has yet made a decision on whether to invade ukraine. why not? >> well, among other things, i think that president putin wanted to talk to president biden, wanted to better understand where we are and where our allies are on some of these issues. and that was why it was extremely important for our president and for other leaders in europe to be very clear about the extreme consequences that will result for russia if they move aggressively against ukraine again. >> in the previous hour, we interviewed congressman mike turner of ohio, he's on the house intelligence committee. and he said a lot of the threatened steps in terms of lethal aid for ukraine in terms of sending u.s. troops to allied countries, in terms of having sanctions ready, that all sounded good but sounded too much in the future. that these things should be happ

at every one's others interests and then the, the west said no that we, i don't want to use victoria newlands words on this program. we're a family program, but you know what she said about the e u in ago shading a, a settlement that would be a continent would accommodate everyone in ukraine? well, the problem with the nato frames all its strategic interest in the language values . so for some of these power in just by saying these are old values just seeking to democracy, whatever it makes me are problematic. because if you make a basic fundamental argument that you know us a stable security architecture needs to respect this year to both sides, then suddenly this has been completely new meaning in this ideology of nato. because now you're saying, oh no way we want, what process demanding is compromise on their values. so russia seeks their influence, we seek democracy so. so this whole concept of compromise and diplomacy and it goes out the window. but again, the reason why it was such a demand for this on this because now with self changed, i often make the point that natal could be a sour

russia need to come together. biden needs to stop listening to his neoconservatives, such as victoria newland, when continent, but in bite and get together, they're very amiable. they seem to have understandings. i think they need to dialogue on this, at that level and come to a mutual understanding of setting up basic spheres of influence and respect for jurisdictions and, and create these free, free zones of, of, of knots flying, strategic farmers are, are pretty missiles into areas where you only have 5 minutes notice. i mean it's getting the very, very bad. i thought that would be one long may take michael. really good to talk to you. got it, sir diana's. luckily thanks for joining us on. i'll take it. thank you. next, the european central bank on the fire after inflation hit its highest in the euro currencies 20 year history. economists to blaming the inflation re cert on an unprecedented growth in energy prices, notably oil and gas, as well as the increased cost of goods and services. all round, a tough and slow recovery from the corona virus pandemic has also had a major impact. what's

s. foreign policy with us under secretary of state for political affairs, victoria newland, once again to raising her head. and once again threatening russia. what we're talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fallout that that would entail for russian business for the russian people, for their ability to, to work and travel and trade. washington's also just rubbed china up the wrong way by imposing a diplomatic boy caught on the upcoming winter olympics. it's also just imposed penalties on 14 officials on 4 entities and iran o end and syria over alleged rights abuses. well, we discussed the role and impact of sanctions with a panel of guests. essentially, you gotta, you gotta view it and walk into the u. s. american exceptionalism and, and supremacy. and they are basically, they're, they're, they're doing whatever they can. do you know where we're married? it's a very arrogant, aggressive policy that they use. and if it really is a means to be stabilized, the other countries sovereign nations and create eco

we heard victoria newland testifying about these new sanctions before the u. s. senate committee, here's what she said. what we're talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fall out that that would entail for russian business for the russian people for their ability to, to work and travel and trade. so there seemed to be a desire on everyone's part for today's meeting to result in a de escalation. however, this hasn't stopped the added states from talking of these new sanctions, and it hasn't stop us media from playing up. this idea that there is somehow a russian threat or russian aggression. so quite an interesting day, i were waiting for more information from both sides about what went on in the meeting between the 2 leaders. r t corresponding kill of my pin in new york. thank you very much. below the u. s. is preparing the quote mother of all sanctions against russia, if it invades ukraine. now the threat from democratic senator bob menendez comes despite repeated statements from

and i think that the, the, the problem is, is that biden has, is listening to the victoria newland and the other. mir conservatives that have their own agendas, and this is what i'm very, very concerned about. plus you have reports that you have the systems coming into from private military contract, right. who could instigate? and that's what i'm very, very fearful of that it will take a spark regarding maloof george him while he thank you both pleasure and now says james web space, telescope agency, successor to the famous hovel, is scheduled to launch this weekend. we'll get you the details after the break, and later at the sports h q r. sports team. have a recap from a while year, as for made their full return from a cobit cancellation. now keep your news. i. q sharp, 247. by downloading the portable tv app right now, it's new and improved because it's tv, as it should be. we'll be right back with this is he thinks of tones and you think x is going to happen. you know, why happen said distinctive breeding response in gauge that are relevant to how we experience reward and pleasure.

and i think that the, the, the problem is, is that biden has, is listening to the victoria newlands and the other near conservatives that have their own agendas. and this is what i'm very, very concerned about. plus you have reports that you have the assistance coming into from private military contract, right. who could instigate? and that's what i'm very, very fearful of, that it will take a spark regarding now why do i put in also said this gentleman, he said, quote, is it us who are putting missiles near the u. s. borders? no, it's the us who came to our home with their missiles. they are already on the threshold of our home. is it some excessive demand? not to place any offensive systems near our home. so mike, staying with you on this, why is the west having a hard time putting themselves in vladimir putin shoes? because that doesn't seem out of line to me. no, it's not. and this gets to my earlier point that, that you want to de escalate and, and nato has. nato has a problem that it's still trying to identify it's, it's new mission in life. now that the cold war is over and there

s. foreign policy with us under secretary of stateful political affairs, victoria newland. once again, threatening russia with heavy economic punitive measures what we are talking about would amount to essentially isolating russia completely from the global financial system with all of the fallout that that would entail for russian business for the russian people, for their ability to, to start from or shout in different ways trying to protect yourself. and the only one policy we have with is this kind of destructive approach. so international relations, but it's, it's just so silly because ultimately you sort of the brunt you are sitting on. how do you think that the continental united states is going to survive? if it makes a devastated mess of the rest of the world? do you think any western power seriously believes russia is a by to invade ukraine? you know, it's hard to understand the logic. what could moscow stand to gain from, from starting a war? well, i think that the western governments do well know that this is a rather lame game. they make the public belief that

you heard jake sullivan say today, a source tells cnn that senior state department official victoria newland acknowledged in a briefing to senators that u.s. options to deter an invasion from russia are, frankly, fairly limited because if russia has 175,000 troops, unless america is willing to actually fight, putin could probably just do what he wants. because putin knows the chances of the united states sending troops to defend ukraine and die there are highly unlikely. now, i am going to speak with one senator who was inside that briefing in a moment. but the defense secretary, lloyd austin, was also asked about this today about whether the united states should make it clear to russia. here is a redline, to define it very specifically and say if you cross that red line, the united states military will get involved. here is his reply. >> i think, in situations like this, i think conveying red lines only exacerbates the problem. i think we need to focus on finding ways to -- to deescalate and -- and to reduce tensions, and really get to the point of addressing what the central issues are. so
