at this given moment, i think it's safe to say that the west needs russia more than russian is the west. but things will move along in a few months and 6 months that the sanctions were really bite in russia. 6 months from now when stocks of, of materials are already usa. when there is a completely but you using your logic gilbert, they have to admit that they were wrong, right? they sanctions were wrong, they hurt themselves. you think they have the political will to do that? the people in power today know, but i think it is are safe guess that many of these people will no longer be in power in 4 to 6 months from now. the troubles in western europe will begin in the heating season, mid september, october, where some of the more volatile political movements shayhan france, warren, germany begin to take their, their effect on the stability of the governments and car of the presidency of the fall of johnson. and my crone stick setback, i think it pays away for the fall of the german government, very nicely developed counted yesterday on the, on johnson's pending for retirement. with john g

the west could accidentally stumble into a nuclear war with russia or china. that's the warning from britain's national security advisor. steven lovegrove, who says communication channels between the west and its rivals of collapsed russia's invasion of ukraine. he says, is the clearest example of this break down. diplomacy fell to prevent the war moscow and keep haven't held face to face, talked since march, lovegrove says the conflict is just the beginning of a broader context for a successor to the post cold war international order. he's warning of new security risks as countries develop more advanced weapons and compete in both outer space and cyberspace. the solution that to dialogue between the west, russia and china, during the cold war, we benefited from a series of negotiations and dialogues that improved our understanding of soviet doctrine and capabilities and vice versa. this gave both of us a higher level of confidence that we would not miscalculate our way into nuclear war. today, we do not have the same foundations with others who may threaten us

at this given moment, i think it's safe to say that the west needs russia more than russian is the west. but things will move along in a few months and 6 months of the sanctions, but really bite in russia a 6 months from now. when stocks of, of materials are already usa, when there is a completely but you using your logic gilbert, they have to admit that they were wrong, right? they sanctions were wrong. they hurt themselves. you think they have the political will to do that? the people in power today know, but i think it is are safe guess that many of these people will no longer be in power in 4 to 6 months from now. the troubles in western europe will begin in the heating season in september, october where some of the more volatile political movements shayhan, france, warren, germany begin to take their, their effect on the stability of the governments and car of the presidency of the fall of johnson. and my crone stick setback, i think it pays away for the fall of the german government, very nicely developed could counted the yesterday on the, on johnson's pending for retirement. wit

ah ah, ah ah, the morsel will show you remorseful, who are so phobia is in the west. russia is the aggression no good for answer much about it by merely keep, what would it do? jim's delusions wellborn syrup. we have any quality for russians. can all we gotta do is freedom over the head and just tell them the right way to live near is going to do it. yeah, just cbs is short notice. so if it's around the was like, no, we didn't disease clear the with a boy, we killer skinny, busy boy, you, jim weiksner a supporter. i'm with a don't, was a question with the c d. i've been in this phone number. listed lose you at all. still losing switches to walk up nice gloves. alleged mostly with national spontaneously, a for the new show room changes with friends with these was possible. he's a dumb jones. get been in our season at the washer to work. so it was for the with ah, i think you got the stuff that we've seen and what it looks like. so we're showing a little was recently from the ocean titus to move center of chicago from san lyn latham with the so please. so mr. ashley with this is just not alread

achievement of today's agreements, the signing of russia's un memorandum once again emphasizes the absolutely artificial nature of the attempts made by the west to blame russia for the problems with the supply of grain to world markets, we expect that in the coming period all the necessary efforts will be made to effectively implement these agreements of no small importance. in this communication has the conscientious assistance of the un and the constructive approach of the international community as a whole, including western countries, taking into account the significant share of russian and ukrainian agricultural products. in world markets , ensuring its uninterrupted exports answers the essential tasks of maintaining food security, especially for developing and least developed countries. vladimir putin discussed by phone with alexander lukashenko cooperation in trade and economy, as well as the results of the summits tehran president confirmed committed to strengthening relations between russia and belarus in addition, vladimir putin held an operational meeting with the permanent members of the security council in the spotlight, internat

has in fact heaped sanctions on russia yet as energy prices soar and supplies of gas dwindle many here in europe fear that these measures are hurting the west more than putin from burgers to porsches the list of products that can no longer be sold in russia is long president. the sanctions russia. as a result, the russian gdp is expected to fall by 10% in 2022, inflation is currently at 17 and industrial production has fallen by 8% but many of the sanctions are also affecting germany and other western countries. food and energy prices are skyrocketing. many consumers are already complaining about the high prices. some economic experts say that the world economy might be in danger the russian president has managed to find new buyers for experts say that the world economy might be in danger many of his raw materials faster than expected, including in india and china and expensive western products such as luxury cars are easily imported through other countries like turkmenistan or kazakhstan with its sanctions, will the west harm itself more than russia in the end? and let me put that question right to al rica coupled with a question that aros

resistance with its hegelm, and now most non-western countries do not want to join the west against china's russia respects, because they understand that those defended by the west, so the so-called rule-based world order is nothing more than a beautiful wrapper of dictate and neo-colonism. one can only hope that the new and very tough confrontation that the west recklessly imposed on russia and china will eventually give rise to new kissengers and new dekolniks there, after all, great figures are born in harsh times

we're in a major, russia west crisis, and that includes the ongoing conflict in ukraine, but it's actually much wider than that. and i think we all have to ask ourselves, what kind of russia west crisis do we want? do we want a deep cold war, or do we want, how it was during the latter part of that period where we actually communicated with the adversary and we worked together to try to muddle through despite our different worldviews at the moment. it is true, the lack of dialogue between the us and russia, and nato and russia is putting us in a very precarious position because it's not just the back channel forms of communication that are necessary. we also need a very, very resilient and smart front end channel communication. so for example, between presidents biden and put in and if we are to stumble into some sort of a nuclear conflict, i'm currently not competent, for example, that the hotline that exists between washington and moscow would be able to technically stand up to the challenges that would happen in a degraded environment in the middle of a nuclear war, for example. so stev

case in georgia where we saw an internal armed conflict, lead c at another stand self between russia and the west. and that was the case in ukraine when president young college refused to sign an e u association agreement. choosing closer trade ties with russia. the president was forced out in a violent could a talk and to pro european parliament took charge of ukraine and invited foreign specialists to advise them on how to run the country. the relationship with russia had been badly mismanaged, trying to bring georgia ukraine into nato, was truly overreaching recklessly ignoring what the russians considered their own vital national interests. not everyone was happy with this pro western sentiment, especially in the southeastern part of ukraine, which has always felt closer to russia. some of its residents are ethnically, russian, or have relatives in russia, most ukrainians speak russian and is the predominant language in some regions. attempts to balance only added fuel to the fire. ukraine's neo nazis took advantage of the situation and began to literally wipe out the russian speaking populat

west more than putin from burgers. to porches, the list of products that can no longer be sold in russia is long. president putin is now complaining about an economic lids clique and by the west, admitting that the sanctions are affecting russia. as a result, the russian g. d. p is expected to fall by 10 percent in 2022. inflation is currently at 17 percent, and industrial production has fallen by 8 percent. but many of the sanctions are also affecting germany and other western countries. food and energy prices are skyrocketing. many consumers are already complaining about the high prices. some economic experts say that the world economy might be in danger. the russian president has managed to find new buyers for many of his raw materials, faster than expected, including in india and china. and expensive western products, such as luxury cars are easily imported through other countries like turkmenistan or kazakstan with its sanctions. well, the west harm itself more than russia in the end. and let me put that question right to rico, coupled with a question that arose as i was reading a very interesting article in the m

russia, others low to europe, a meal. a lot. lucy with while young people compare east and west, the older generation looks east to russia. this year there's a big strawberry harvest in serbia. the community of shabbas has an ideal climate for it on me, let me let you choose 30 hate to have farm to hate. has a given over to strawberries for 34 for stop. it has guided test to pay an the here. if you still, i don't know, many more, i have to hate to say there's your, what's your natural e on down high miles per se. us and a funny, you know, not for to see strawberries used to be exploited to russia, but after the boldest closed logistics became more expensive, the farmer complains that if it goes on, he'll only be able to trade with europe. marina, a little molina. oh my yeah. gotta yeah, will car crash? yeah. sheila, sheila, sheila, sheila, oh i thought it was yeah. hi clair of cohen. yeah. where they santia all like than emma emma nash appraisal placid. i'm miss wanda. willie con. problem or, or defy sy say nasha police ward? yeah. all right, it is a more diverse stature, like actual why the e cause dies with the russia m

well, the west harm itself more than russia in the end. and let me put that question right to rico, coupled with a question that arose as i was reading a very interesting article in the magazine published by spiegel magazine. this is an a rights for the historian nicholas molder, said they are that if you want to wage economic war, you must put your economy on a war footing. did the west fail to remember that lesson as it began applying sections? well perhaps, but you have to distinguish 2 things. those sanctions that v a decided on not to export any high technology to russia or not to to serve the airplanes is not hurting the best at all. because, you know, russia was very unimportant when it came to exports at the russian and the german exports to russia were only 2.5 percent of all the exports germany has. so that was really a minor point. but of course, russia can hurt us by just not exporting oil or gas, and that's what they are doing. so, but that is something you could never ever have prevented. because once the rest starts to suppo

he just adopt a very balanced stand between united states, the west in general, and russia and the east. as a matter of fact, what we're witnessing now is that confrontation between the east and west should go off or off recently said western busters call for our oblique members to condemn russia, and not take pictures with russian representatives. what we've seen though is pretty much the opposite would very warm reactions from his counterparts on recent trips does not really just put in the spotlight that the world is bigger than the west. absolutely. i mean, since the conflict in ukraine began, we saw this that really outside of the u. s. canada, western europe, japan and australia, the rest of the world either supported russia or were neutral and the developing world in particular. in africa, asia, latin america have actually increased their time with russia since that time. so i do think yes, the world is bigger than the west. i think most of the world is tired of the west. the west has been looting africa, for example, for centuries. and, you know, they're looking for other partne

the frontline has now moved further west. russia has increased attacks on the cities of slope young square on the city of slogans where missiles have destroyed homes and killed several people. in recent days. moms have also fallen on crime. a torso prompting the few remaining residents there to try to get out. but ukraine's present bologna. miss zalinski has said his forces reclaimed more than a 1000 villages, and he bowed to continue retaking lost territory. d. w corresponding mano, ashes is following developments. forrest from kia emma. good. see you again. russian and ukrainian forces. apparently preparing to take the battle to the done that's region. what are the main flashpoints likely to be there? well, terry, that was so very much expected, as it looked more and more likely that serv, russia would install its of forces in a new hands. so de ukraine, an armed forces had been prepared, you know, to have retreated from san antonio, then to have retreated from lazy chance. they could have done so much earlier. but it seems to have been a tactic to also, you know, try to exhaust as much

depth. and the ethical conflict between the empire of the west and the middle lands the crimean confrontation that began in 2014 between russiacupied a significant part of the middle lands, and the empire of the west, surrounding it from the west, south and east, exacerbated all the contradictions that existed at that moment. the world was not ready to become what the values ​​of the enlightenment wanted it to be has long mutated into its opposite, democracy has turned inside out. there were several decades left before the global wars, but the sharply aggravated russophobia marked the line in the confrontation. and that's what surprises when you remember these bygone times, the inhabitants of the middle lands, until the crimean confrontation, had no idea that their western neighbors perceive them as strangers for thousands of years. fortunately, history has preserved living evidence. that distant era captured. reasoning about reasonable people who, unlike the absolute majority of the inhabitants of both the collective west and the middle lands saw the problems very well. the first person to speak aloud about russophobia as a

yes, it means that the west tells everywhere that russia was the first to start on february 24th. don't have such a short memory. after all, we are talking about the fact that the west was the first to start and not on february 24th. 2022, and back in the nineties, reacting by changing its position by deceit, when it came to, uh, the federal republic of germany and its reunification with east germany, by the way, france actually opposes this, but we somehow reminded putin of this. in this case, sympathy for the german people and they considered that this was their national national interest. their interesting ideas told us this is confirmed by the latest reports. yes, there will be no nato advance to the east. and then it went one after another . so we started first. it's just a very episode. a long story that began with the collapse of the soviet union after all. i want to remind you that in the 19th century, the united states faced a problem. that's between the southern and northern states and the southern states, proclaimed their self-determination. for some reason, the norther

registration. gosuslugi.ru so moscow breaks the blockade on exports, which was established by the west, russia they signed a memorandum on facilitating the supply of russian food and fertilizers to the world market. another document signed in istanbul determines the conditions under which they will ensure the export of ukrainian grain, for example, all ships will be carefully inspect for weapons. all details. yegor grigorev's documents, which were signed today, were being developed for more than two weeks, and it was the russian proposals formed the basis of the final agreements, the main document that was signed today concerns the unblocking of the export of russian agricultural fertilizer products to the world market. and here the united nations will provide assistance. we are talking not only about the beginning of the export of agricultural products from ukrainian points, but they are certainly working in the same direction. from russian ports about what we actually spoke with the lord gutyavish today and about which was also signed by the secretary general of the organization the united n

some roof, a russia, others know to europe a lot with while young people compare east and west, the older generation looks east to russia this year there's a big strawberry harvest in serbia. the community of shabbas has an ideal climate for it on me. let me let you choose 30. hector farm to hecht has a given over to strawberries. talking about 4344 stop. it has guide the test to pay a day. the, the here if you or somebody still, i don't know many more a to he does have an issue, but you are natural. he on down high mile per se. us and a funny that both of us. yeah. strawberries used to be exploited to russia. but after the ball is closed, logistics became more expensive. the fama complains that if it goes on, he'll only be able to trade with europe. marina, as i have it all, melina? oh, my young order, jamar, trash. yeah. sheila, so ashley, you are, you are. oh, i thought it was yeah. hi clair of cohen. yeah. where they santia all my van emma emma nash, plato class heat. i'm miss wanda. welcome. probably more on the sky. sy say nasha police war. yeah. or white need been as a more baggage

russia, that they should be back again on the negotiation table. what do you think? and is there have been so many red lines by the west when it comes to russia and putin says i can continue as long as i want to go, how is it possible to stop him i think the only possibility is to show strength. this is the only thing actually that putin understands seen this over the last decade, where we had several attempts of talking to putin, we had lots of politicians in the west who said we have to find a compromise, we have to understand the russians, but unfortunately this didn't work and those who haven't understood this on february 24 maybe it's their problem. putin only understands strength and so we on the one hand, we have to strengthen ukraine concerning the economy concerning the military. on the other hand, we have to find solutions for, for our own economies. these concerns mainly gas because we are very, very much reliant on russian gas and we have to redesign our energy system over the upcoming two years, not buying gas in other places after these two years, but somehow getting rid of gas because if we are just buyi

oh, the more so we're show you the most all or so for him to west russia is the aggression no, his injured much about or i need a key was were due to me, delusions lowball syrup. we have any quality for russians. can all we gotta do is just feed them over the head and just tell them the right way to live near is going to do it. yeah, just a sounds like we did it on these live the way up like to with this phone. number us the list with nice gloves with national has been used to be a for the new sure wouldn't genius. they don't give us with our season at the washer. who works with the washer to with the i me, i didn't was interested personally beloved by this number. what is the, tell us what is the news that i need to know? we've been looted electric memo, spoke where it was, but we still, we still personally speak stuck and we the we normally use that word is exactly much to say to more similar ah, me with a video study live for the most up pico carmina, moran. well it this guitar player crazy if you were to talk to me. sure. it was dark stuff back. yeah. we're in the new part of the rose

west, russia and ugada are planning to cooperate in various fields from agriculture to space.ong e ideas in areas such as energy. geological exploration mining scientific telecommunications cyber security rural economy, as well as projects related to cooperation in the field of the use of nuclear technologies for medicine and agriculture, as well as prospects for cooperation in launching a ugandan satellite into earth orbit. this is the first visit of a high-ranking representative of russia to ugandan before lavrov has already visited egypt and congo europe is ready to reduce domestic demand for gas so, at least the participants in the ministerial meeting of the eu council, which was held today, the head of the energy departments of the countries belonging to the european union reached an agreement that called a political compromise plan provides for a voluntary reduction in consumed volumes by 15% from the average level over the past 5 years, such a step, supposedly will allow by the first of october. to fill the underground storage of gaza and thereby survive the coming wint

rains, clouds will cover the entire central strip of the west of russia and the extreme south, the most powerful lines are again expected in the smolensk region, more than 20 mm will fall in places, moisture, and the wind from the coast will increase. gusts of more than 15-17 m/s are likely in the chernozem region and in the north of the central region of more than 20 m/s, but in general , the intensity of bad weather is expected to be much less than it was last week. the fact is that the cold front will bring the son of a friend of the plain in the first half of the day, when the air has not yet had time to warm up properly and the temperature contrasts in the front zone will not be so great in moscow , for example, the weather has already deteriorated, and the intensity will reach the peak of the shower in the very near future . it can reach 5 mm, which is a lot in 3 hours, but not so much that in the case of large-scale flooding in the city, the weak cargoes of the capital will remain until the evening, and the temperature. after yesterday's plus thirty-two will not rise higher plus

the west ukraine proxy war against russia is turning out to be in historical watershed. russia's 300 year relationship with the west is rapidly coming to an end . russia is shifting its attention to the east and global south rushes game is the west loss with cross sucking the west split with russia. i'm joined by my guess url rasmussen in.

he compared the opposition of the west to russia, sang the search for war for me it was obvious that athens and their democracy, their openness to culture and civilization were analogous to the united states and the west. russia for me was a closed, hostile , militaristic and anti-democratic, like sparta , probably, saying that johnson immediately regretted it, because the pelopans from the war sparta won left worphins without a fleet. army and money, shortly before his visit to moscow on december 17, the british prime minister lamented how the west had lost russia 20 years ago, it was impossible to imagine that we would have such relationships. i sincerely believed that we would be able to welcome russia in the society of democratic nations. at a press conference in moscow after negotiations with sergei lavrov, johnson called himself a russophile. i am a russophile. moreover, a convinced russophile. i have ancestors in moscow, i am convinced that i am the first foreign minister of great britain, whose name is boris on march 6, 22, already after the start of the special operation in

this is our international ah, ah, ah, the west ukraine proxy war against russia is turning out to be a historical watershed, thrushes, 300 year relationship with the west is rapidly coming to an end. russia shipping, it's attention to the east and global south rushes gave the wes loss with doubles are, levied fidelity, talk you right. use the select helpful, but i see the why don't you do you like it pulled up, but it didn't give willis a lawyer or a with ford edge that also produces julia. how does she somebody over there both those me but zimmerman. i'm with you with this guy. that is one of them you like with a video when you look out a new up pulls up a d and i do so as you know that way. i don't mind ah, well don't middle alex, she's just e columbia. no, not in columbia, nobody but i just thought that the language that he thought young my real name is logical law, school of college with which it is public. if you're to be a number that is big enough, feel okay. that make it look like which in now she did the way volley april really not is almost was is you know, if there is no wa

this is in the event that, as it is now fully speculating in the west, russia will completely stop deliveriesan government announced that it would announce state of emergency in the field of energy, and the european union plans to take a number of urgent measures in the economy to mitigate the consequences of the european commission, meanwhile, recommends countries to switch to another type of fuel, both in industry and in electricity production, however. if it were, perhaps the enterprise would have already done everything necessary. china's economic growth reached a two-year low gdp in the second quarter added only four tenths of a percent lockdown and covid outbreaks. and the collapse of the real estate market moved the government's expectations further away from the target of 5.5%, experts note that gdp growth in the first half of the year amounted to only 2.5%, that is, to achieve the goals set by the authorities, growth will be required, in the second half of the year by about 8.5%, which looks like an unlikely scenario under the current conditions. and at the end of the issue, i rememb

yes, today i am not the main zone nastya will concentrate in the west of european russia on the eastoes not let us into the cyclone, the center of high pressure, which has settled down straight. and this night a thunderstorm rumbled in st. petersburg. heavy rains have passed in the city, a gale has risen . in the night sky, sparkling, lightning, thunder rumbled. eleven discharges hit the lakhta center and today, due to storms in st. petersburg , it is the strong wind that poses the greatest danger for visiting the central park from the square. just the day before, in ryazan, its powerful gust raised a metal shield of the earth with construction debris. as a result, it flew right into the back of a man with a child after storms. there were a lot of trees in the city. bad weather led to a power outage in 22 villages in the vicinity of the environment, emergency power grids were noted in a number of districts in the moscow region, emergency teams promptly restored power supply. nightmare lightning still here are the preliminary results of the night lines, the heaviest rains took place i

of the russia has criticized the west saying moscow has no choice but to expand its war aims in ukraine. i met at the wilcox zip because the west poles more remote long range weapons, such as high miles into ukraine in an impotent rage. or in a desire to exacerbate the situation as much as possible to claim or should adopt mean, same geographical tasks of these special operations will extend still further from a current lowering of soap machine showed good support. but in an interview with d, w, a. germany's foreign minister on the line and bear bog dismissed to russia's argument that it's being forced to widen it's offensive in ukraine because of western weapons deliveries, defend russia using every time a different argument m. so this time it's so because of the military support they are saying, but they have been attacking key if and not upon of ukraine before. so it's just a new propaganda from the russian side. meanwhile, russian forces continue to his civilian targets. not only on the front lines, but in cities and towns throughout ukraine. now to sri lanka, where a veteran politi

the west of russia sang the search for war for me. it was obvious that athens and their democracy, their openness to culture and civilization were analogous to the united states and the west. russia for me was a closed, hostile, militaristic and anti-democratic, like sparta, probably, saying that johnson immediately regretted it, because the peloponnesian sparta won the war and left the warriors without a fleet. an army of an army and money, shortly before his visit to moscow on december 17, the british prime minister lamented how the west had lost russia 20 years ago, it was impossible to imagine that we would have such a relationship. i sincerely believed that we would be able to welcome russia in the society of democratic nations. at a press conference in moscow after negotiations with sergei lavrov, johnson called himself a russophile. i am a mermaid. moreover, a convinced russophile. i have ancestors in moscow, i am convinced that i am the first the minister of foreign affairs, whose name is boris on march 6, 22, after the start

russia, to activate this a gas pipeline. yes. do you think it's credible when the west says we have the sanctions for russia? but as when they start affecting us more than we say, ok you, they're not that important anymore. well, there's a reason why there are no sanctions on gas so fine wide. there are oil sanctions that will only come into place at the end of the year. and that is exactly the dependency of the west on wash and gas. so the idea is also when it comes to this turban, it is to make clear that it is washer, which is cutting off the gas. and the germany is not sort of it, it's not the fold of the german government. and this is obviously domestic communication towards the german public. if gas suppliers from wash, i get further cut. it is a very we active strategy. it is not a pro active strategy of trying to push on moscow, for instance, to caps and gas prices. but it is a strategy to fill the storages into twice to out play moscow. and i'm not sure who will have the upper hand in this game. i wanted to add better, maybe the story with the turbine. it's also was also done in this way to not give

, the west, he claims that the economic blitzkrieg against russia has failed, that they are doing welle i think he will continue to raise rates here on this matter, i have practically no doubts and a turbine, even for an important gas pipeline, it does not play any decisive, one hundred percent decisive role, another event of yesterday, the preparatory summit of the g20 took place in indonesia, uh, he left it earlier than planned serhiy lavrov well, because it is unpleasant to be a person to whom it is disgusting to even get close to him, they refused to take a picture, it did not take place in the usual format of the previous such opening, which happens almost always. well, somehow, it is more adequate to treat the world and ukraine in general, not to deny our sovereignty, and the statement of anthony linkin, in particular, who said ukraine was especially interesting to me

russia. that seems to be the policy michael, go ahead. this is the unfortunate development and we're reaching to a crescendo here in which the united states and the west generally have to make a decision on just where do they want to go with all of this, do they want to have an out and not war with with russia, they're only using ukraine as a cause for their greater strategic purposes. and that is to contain and maybe even overthrow the government in, in moscow. and we got the near conservatives in the bible administration. well entrenched, pushing this agenda ad nauseum. and, and it's, it's gotten to the point now where the united states is at a very critical juncture, it, it cannot be, get, they cannot continue this type of supply and point of money that doesn't have, by the way, into this questionable activity, as well as from the allies and back and backs supply the allies when they provide arms to the ukrainians. so the question has to come down, where is this, what, what does the end game? and nobody, nobody is saying this and already we're seeing divisions within nato. and we're the end within the u. s. to where this this, this entire endeavor

so we're in the west of russia, western part of russia. they are participating in this war, but not on a large scale. so russia is preparing for a war of attrition. we're seeing this war of attrition happening. and ukraine needs much more weapons to be able to stand for a long time to, to be able to, to try and recapture maybe some cities in the south at the moment. i think you can and will be winning this at this moment. if it can stop the rush in advance. so stopping russians in the south, stopping them in the east and on bass would be a victory for the moment for you. crane. i think just to add perhaps to that at the same time, it's also a strategic communication operation. as we're said towards the west to convey the impression of, well, your support as you tell, it doesn't make any sense because we can throw as much fold isn't as much material into the war as we want. witness to some extent, of course, over blown because wash, i had some very heavy casualties, 24000 soldiers as estimated by, by the british side. so this is also a comm
