the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations, the united kingdom, the united states, and the ussr that die in one day before the dead man tried, krista peep office. not only because hitler was weak and knew healing weight, and he was bluffing. he was the major political figure, certainly one of the most prominent political leaders of the 20th century where they wish to report the germans of the germans. or when we support the russians in that way, let them destroy each other. there was that kind of sentiment in the west at this time. the redrawing of european borders had begun. britain and the united states, and then just any plan to attack the ussr, britain to survive. russia had to be sacrifice, is us. we should be like, and dish, divest, mr. boy from us as the lot of some ricardo capital mitchum, ours. hello, no. why not? the cold war had begun? or in 2022. the italian government approved a package of military aid to ukraine. coordination with and nita to help ukrainians defend themselves and fight back about 150000000 euros. well, i make a weep, almost even atomic bom

oh, what is a unit? doctors monitored the dissections waiting for samples some needed a brain or heart. others deliver? mm hm. that's how to breathe. a deadly super virus capable of destroying a human body. in no time said shadow. you see a dish. it is a great joke. lynette, you can't see it. stout lot. k, wilson, you would assume there the candle cerebral here go is or not you're not, not, not, not the guy. i really surreal. he'll fornia soaring. the guy can do not. it still knows i knew. go on yoga chi worst ale. ah, it's hard to know how many were killed by unit 731 alone estimates very some say 3 to 5000 people. others put to figure out 10000 something. yeah. well then, yeah. now monday about a couple years old. i give them all nonlinear ah, most the army, general staff and emperor here a hutto will well aware of the units, goals and methodology. unit 731 was established in 1936 by the secret order of emperor. here he thought i saw the order with my own eyes when i served his hand of unit 73 ones gen

it's funny but originally the french units in the polish unit x troopers were called the british unit. the person in a ends up being in charge of their commanding office jones who is a wonderful welsh man realized that these guys are in the most danger they are caught. they would be killed as jews and kill this germans and their families would probably be rounded up at the gestapo. they were officially called the british unit but what they will really be as german but all of them are told as part of this unit you take on a new persona. once they are selected they take five minutes to come up with a new name and is a back story about why they still have a german accent. the dog tags showed the regiment that they were currently attached to. they are all going to pretend to be the british unit of this commando but there are german speakers or a german jewish refugees. the story is so remarkable. it's not only that they end up being so crucial to the allies in the war but all of them have to transform through and through. >> the new persona element caught me, not so much that they would n

which is to say, the united, well, we're, we to make the presumption that the united states has had a hand in the sabotage. the course is going to be an investigation into this. it will be an investigation into which russia will not be invited. shades of an age, 17 shenanigans in 2014. but i think the long term game here is uh for the united states, both to, to, to crush europe and to crush russia simultaneously that, that, that is the game. and at the same time, to make it impossible for europe and russia to collaborate, that will have the effect of consolidating rushes, pivot to asia. it will have the effect of greatly solidifying and strengthening the asian chinese lead asian alliances. it will have the effect of whether the united states wants it or not, of ushering, ushering in the multi polar world. so frightened, so terrified the washington leads that the saddest part of well, there are so many sad parts of the story and the suffering of the ukrainian all ukrainian people is one of those. but another very, very sad element of the story is the crashing of europe. yeah. and in pa

i don't see the united states doing this. this is, this is trickery that even the united states realizes, will lead to nothing more than an escalation of a conflict, both united states and they don't make clear. they don't want escalate. yeah, now given the weapons and supplies that the u. s. has already been giving to yeah, i mean, ukrainian troops have showed residential areas and crucial civil and infrastructure allegedly using those us applied high mars missiles. so what is your take on that, and is the us showing at all here that it's concerned about that civilian infrastructure, or is it more so just showing that it isn't quite ready to escalate that conflict directly with russia? well, i think it's, it's, look, the u. s. is clear that they don't want to escalate to. they don't want to turn this into a direct conflict between nato and russia. on the other hand, the united states has shown an absolute disregard for the strikes that ukraine has been doing a regular and ongoing basis against civilian targets, purely civili

the united states is gonna have to take the capital. so, scott is now gonna be in charge of that invasion for central mexico. he takes a lot of his invasion force from taylor, which makes taylor thinks that scott wants to run for president. taylor doesn't have enough troops to do anything now. they hate each other as much as they hate poke. are you with me so far? this might not be an overseas war, but it does prove the lie in that myth that politics stops at the water's edge and more time it never has. i don't know that it ever will. it certainly didn't in the mexican american war. so, scott is supposed to invade central mexico and march overland to mexico city, he needs the troops. he takes them from taylor. taylor is very unhappy about this, but here is what happens. one result, one result of the fall -- mexican frontier, is that he is overthrown, the mexican president overthrown in another coup. he is replaced by santa ana. santa ana chooses another president, only to take back the presidency from him a little while later. in the me

and data by unit 731 that went to to military bases in the united states to fort dugway in utah and to fort dietrich and maryland, which to this day remains the headquarters for the usaa biological weapons command that will biologists, doctors, medical students, adolescents who had nothing to do with medicine employed at unit 731, about 3600 people in total, including maintenance stuff but only 12 men faced trial and how about asking for still to new others, they can kunal sake of i e d divided by the t did okay. this the signal came q in osaka, which side of june the whole the if dr. through thumbing this fan so no to me or 2 on either santo honda this. well can i know that? so got in the kink, your data or you cycle johnny, of course they, he mutational, ah, sure you, she visited fort detrick's usa main military lab, biological weapons, research and testing on humans continued in the 18 thirty's and forty's and fifty's, the american military government and medical community experimented on the black population using syphilis and sexually transmitted diseases infecting them with th

now, at this point, what can the united states do? but rant and rave at the saudis for not doing what they want here. some of what we've heard, what saudi arabia did to help prudent continue to wage his despicable, vicious war against ukraine will long be remembered by americans. we are looking at all the legislative tools to best deal with this appalling and deeply cynical action, though the no peck bill is up for discussion. this is a bill that would allow the united states to sue opec countries take them to court, possibly have you as court, seize their assets, if they don't do what the united states wants, that would allow civil actions against opec countries by the united states in retaliation for move such as this, that bill is up for discussion. in addition to that, the military relationship between the united states and saudi arabia is being questioned. this is what's been said as well. i just don't see any good reason for us to maintain troops that are there almost solely for the purpose of protecting their oil fields and the

you will actually post body united states on. ready russian yachts, it is not supported or has not been supported by you know, nation. well, we really appreciate you joining us here in a very busy tuesday at our t international. it's always good to have your company. a lot of the stories have been updated as we speak. you can get your updates either via r t dot com or check out all these numerous telegram a with with me. hello and welcome to worlds apart. rushes massive retaliation for ukraine's attacks on infrastructure has moved the war much closer to home for many ukrainians. but is it persuasive or frankly frightening enough to change the counter was not only in here, but also in washington? well, to discuss that, i'm now joined by a daniel about adjunct professor of international human rights at the university of pittsburgh school of law professor of alec. it's good to see you. thank you very much for being available. thank you for having me. now we are recording this conversation on monday afternoon, most good time when the

so i like this for the united states for us. the war is very close to home, both within the russian territory. and as i sat across the border in your grand, where most of us have relatives, do you think the 2 sides have the same amount of issues at stake here? do you think this war means the same for, for russia, as it means for the united states? well, is completely unconvincing for russia to place a victim in this war. since it's russia that invaded ukraine and continues to bomb major cities from the air in ukraine. don't have any sympathy for the russian, ordinary russian people who are being killed in those strikes and that has goes with them being all right. i have tremendous sympathy for everybody who dies in a war. i have tremendous sympathy for people who are drafted, conscripted or bombed in a war. that's why we should have posed or not just an abstraction, but continue to work towards diplomatic solutions and say that it's not ok to send people in to battle to kill others. and to kill civilians. i also heard you say th

the balance of power was held by the leaders of 3 nations the united kingdom, the united states and the ussr. ah.

the commander of this unit a, national guard unit, one of his men in combat. so he turned to the french. the french were perfectly happy to have his men fight for them. and that's why these american soldiers are wearing french. and they were a highly decorated unit in the french army. the major american battle of the first world war was one of the last it took place in this place called, the meuse argonne, between september and november 1918. this battle of the meuse. is the picture i these two. these are correct. here. the meuse argonne is the largest american battle in history. 1.2 million men took part. 1.2 million mental part. at the opening of the battle. just the opening day of the battle. the american artillery fired more or artillery shells. on that first day of the battle, the argonne. then the union army fired cannonballs during the entire civil war that just on the first day, according to one reckoning, the of the argonne is the equivalent. seven gettysburg. which is astonishing when you about it because i would bet that not one american in 10,000 h

most importantly, the military partner of the united partnership of the united states. that was not forthcoming a year. that is very much a fact. life at the present moment. even germany, which is a country that very much defined as a pacifist country after 1945, not a military power, didn't invest much money in defense, doesn't like military activity, really tries to keep a distance from that. even germany is sending panzer tanks and forms of military hardware to ukraine. so even the countries that were self-declared pacifists before the war seven or eight months ago are now military partners of ukraine. norway i heard the striking detail recently at the beginning of the war. it gave its entire artillery to ukraine. can you imagine giving an entire branch of your military hardware to another country? and norway is? only one of many countries that are now currently ukraine. so the complexity is as follows the complexity is, that ukraine now has bona fide military partners, not necessarily a part of nato's, but getting billions upon billions of military assistance from t

i face here domestically in the united states.— united states. i am glad you brou:ht united states. i am glad you brought this _ united states. i am glad you brought this up _ united states. i am glad you brought this up because - united states. i am glad you brought this up because as l united states. i am glad you i brought this up because as you mentioned during the breakfast —— exit campaign there was of great fanfare about this trade deal that would come but never materialised. do you think in practice there is the political will, in america, to make this happen? i will, in america, to make this ha--en? .�* will, in america, to make this ha en? ., �* ~' , happen? i don't think there is the political _ happen? i don't think there is the political will. _ happen? i don't think there is the political will. trade - the political will. trade issues are difficult in the us so i hope we can find accommodation but it is possible not probable. liz truss and _ possible not probable. liz truss and rishi sunak when they were campaigning for leadership one of the big points of contr

busy receipts in the united states, in fact, multiple ranks above the united states as much as 80 or 90 percent of the people support the companies party because the lives have changed the recklessly on those 2 to h over so many years regardless of the regime. regardless of what type of government you have, i think the test of the putting it, whether, you know, people have experience, you know, better lives, you know, better likelihood and have a situation. so all these metrics, the child is going to spot this, but highly supportive body people. so this kind of rhetoric about differences in freedoms because each countries have different political, historical, and, and various other differences. i mean, just like the family, you know, the way i read my family is very different from you all you raise your family and to expect that there is a one dimensional thing. i think that this is a travesty show. but coming back. yeah. question about the 0 kind of policy. what impact is that had on his leadership and going forward on his popularity because we have seen protest, i mean even a few d

came back home to the united states and went on tour around the united states giving speeches, in uniform, opposing the truman administration and presenting his side of the situation. insisting that this was the right war for world war iii. of course congress then held hearings and took testimony from numerous individuals. perhaps the most famous statement came from none other than omar bradley wrong time for the wrong play in the wrong place. there is a lot to be said for that. justification, once again was, our primary mission was the protection of europe. we did not want to get embroiled in a huge war against the people's republic of china. you remember that great movie princess bride they talk about the second stupidest thing in the world is to get into a land war in asia? >> the mcarthur ever seriously personally political office or? >> i think it became clearer when he came back that he didn't really have the support that he was hoping. remember, he had a ticker tape parade in new york city and 7 million people came out to cheer him this is after this debacle. when eisenhower came h

cuba was the united states. we used to go there and gamble like, you know, cuba was our country until castro power. all right. let castro took power. all hell broke loose and kennedy and castro got into and that's all it took. and then the russian like the united states, he took it back, you know, situation came to cuba, went against kennedy and brought all these missiles and all these things. annow it's the same things that happened in ukraine. we had bold man called castro there with slogan in those states raul when the united states same thing is happening in the ukraine right n russia russia is supposed to be united staty but think about what's going on. the united states, you know, remember i do. i was there. we have chaos, danger, nuclear war. take it from there. now it's you can make your own decisions. you can understand. we are and we are ukraine. all our troops there, we're going to bring nuclear missiles there. what do you think? russia, right. russia's wrong. united states are right. it's wrong. it's

cuba was the united states. we used to go there and gamble like, you know, cuba was our country until castro power. all right. let castro took power. all hell broke loose and kennedy and castro got into and that's all it took. and then the russian like the united states, he took it back, you know, situation came to cuba, went against kennedy and brought all these missiles and all these things. and now it's the same things th happened in ukraine. we had bold man called castro there with slogan in those states raul when the united states same thing is happening in the ukraine right now russia is supposed to be united states ally but think about what's going on. the unit states, you know, remember i do. i was there. we have chaos, danger, nuclear war. take it from there. now it's you can make your own decisions. you can understand. we are and we are ukraine. all our troops there, we're going to bring nuclear missiles there. what do you think? russia, right. russia's wrong. united states are right. it's wrong. it's

he was describing the united states, how the united states around the globe. and this is something that many nations and many more nations over time have been pointing out. now when it comes to that competition, what could be the reasons the u. s. views china as a competitor and continues to put pressure on beijing. it's for the simple fact that china is our competing united states. it will surpass the united states and there's nothing that you can do about those trying to has a larger population. they have world class infrastructure. they graduate millions more in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics yields every single year. they are going to surpass the united states and there's nothing that you can do about it and, and thinking that they can is delusional and delusion results in increasingly desperate and dangerous measures. now speaking of those measures, they're thinking us politicians are intentionally adding fuel to anti china sentiment right now. absolutely. the only way they can sell measures that are going to have a serious costs, not,

for example, what's happening in the united kingdom. the fact that millions of people are having only one meal a day or they're turning their heat down. they're worried about freezing this winter. that has an impact eventually. and i think what we're saying is the, the establishment of the tory party trying to decide, is it worth sticking from that with us more against russia and ukraine for the sake of nato and european union. and that's where protest make a difference. they give people a chance to shift policy and they can always say, well, we're being popular. that's what happened with the vietnam war. it took a long time, but the establishment finally turned against it in the united states. and now why we're seeing, as you say, very, very minor shifts and policies there also major changes in how the european economy is structured, as i mentioned in the beginning, the disruption of gas trade between russia and germany. and we'll know that any decision has, you know, comes with its own price tag. it's no secret that the americans are

. unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short than build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever. now. japan had a longstanding interest in biological weapons, emperor here a heater, who had a degree in marine biology, believed that biological weapons would help to pan conquer the world. as a descendant of the sun goddess. i'm at russell, he saw it as his calling in the 1930s, the concept of japan's exceptional role in the world permeated the country society . oh so good. so june gets the sunni hummadi condi e qu, sucking yawn all that chisel medina. oh, japanese journalist shoji condo, the author of evidence of unit 731 crimes. a book that caused quite a stir is one of the few people who tries to give an impartial account of factors that brought japan to wall tile to a local, to your school for a chunk. it's a coke got it says hello to. so you wish. so than what they glint irish but they are so calling us get along for a gun n

and again, logically speaking, one way to the united states and maybe the only way to the, to the united states from supporting your current to the level when that support can make a strategic difference for russia would be to strengthen. did ponce now, how do you strengthen because you basically strengthen and by saying that, you know, in certain circumstances, but we will not be hitting at ukraine will be hitting elsewhere. and that shared the so, but people of, so basically the idea was not to try to suggest russian needs to know hip united states with a nuke. the idea was to strengthen to tons the foundation of peace as we know it. and it's interesting that most of the western decision makers, when they make statements about rush as possible, use of nuclear weapons, they need focus on tactical strikes upon ukraine. they never met, even conceive of russia being able to reach their own homelands. do you think that said deflection on their part, or do they honestly believe that given russia's potential and those people in the know they know of fresh as nuclear potential? they know that

s in the united states, into all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with those important alliances connected to the war. and you, great this week, dozens of countries along with nato members agreed to increase aid and weapons to help you crane battle. a russian invasion ukraine's allies are international and many in number united in their opposition to putin's war. now, despite his public cries of defiance against western sanctions, russian, president, putin is more isolated now than ever, having a few powerful friends with connections to your enemy appears to be a priority right now for mr. poo case in point. the turkish president wretched. tie up air to what everyone says, he wants to continue. peace in ukraine. now turkey is a member of nato, and it has retained close ties with both moscow and keep and is even offered to organize. peace talks when they air to one in putin met face to face on the side lines of a summit in kazakhstan, grandmother. if you could isn't, but we are all cozy experiencing the effect of the crisis in ukrain

an unconfirmed video emerged on line proposing to show one of the units, one of the ukrainian units that are engaged in ukraine's counter offensive on the territory of what is formerly known now as the le ganske republic. now 1st part of russia and basically yeah, this is what they're saying. they have accused their command of giving criminal orders in general. they have gone into detail, into the level of anarchy and well lawlessness that is wide spread between their commanders. probably the most outrageous and concerning claim that they made was that their command, their superiors, that they made them and try to make them mass kill civilians in one of the villages in one of the towns that the ukrainian forces had previously retaken from russian soldiers among other allegations that there made was the fact that they, for example, didn't have enough nutrition, enough rations. so they had to split whatever little food they had between everybody within their unit and well basically into tiny portions. they also talked about how they did not have sleeping bags or matt, so they had to rest o

states, united kingdom, a center. and so they're all in the media. you will see that by us. but i think we must distinguish between the rhetoric of the media will be in the media and the use of the gum. i think government and india successively including the present have taken an independent position. we have tried to little issues with this with russia on china, on united states, or indeed with other countries like japan, germany, france on the basis on national. and it's not as if you're not going to pressure from time to time. come on, the fisher, and i can talk about innovative incentives that come on the official one each time you come under pressure. i think it is a good fortune that we have how the national leadership does incentive its independence. when we have just seen recently on the water in the un security council, india has taken a view off on. it does not bandwagons with anybody else. now, like you mentioned a moment ago, and he wrote about that before that both the humanitarian consequences of russia'

and hands on call has a bind by any sanctions authorized by the united nations. but these are all on sanctions. you will actually impose body united states on russian yachts and is not supported or has not been supported part of the about the nation. well, we really appreciate you joining us here in a very busy tuesday at all the international. it's always good to have your company a lot of the. busy story to being updated as we speak. you can get your updates either via the dot com or check out on these numerous telegrams in a.

there's fair elections, which is also a big question in the united states. i think that it reads to nami is extremely likely, and unfortunately the parties tend to be unified on matters of war. but i think there is really a faction around former president trump that wants out of this conflict. you may have seen that congressman goes star from arizona actually offered to hold peace talks. he sent a letter inviting both putin and lensky to arizona, saying that he said, i'm not a diplomat, but i can't sit by and allow this to continue the last winter. the canadian con boy protests made headlines as hundreds of truckers opposed cobra mandate. canadian police have claimed the foreign actors including russia, had been involved in the saga. the canadian security intelligence service, however, has now allegedly painted a different picture or 2 fearful isabel takes up the story. funded by far right extremist with russian influence. those were some of the claims suggested by the ontario provincial police about the protest led by canadian truckers in february against m

of the united states. but he was very inviting and charming and clipped. thomas, who talked about your mother, margaret. he said, i'm telling you what i told margaret. educate in education. it's important you get too much education. always a focus. education. in that conversation, i didn't know whether we were going to talk about. i didn't know what we were going to talk. i was just in awe of him. but was his focus in that? he knew the best investment we could make as a nation was in our children's education because that is how we ensure all can participate and, thrive in our democracy. and this promise is further today by the truman's scholarship initiative, which supports students interested in service. president truman's equipment to democracy did not cease at the water's. he knew that a threat to democracy anywhere was a threat. democracy everywhere. that's why he worked to rebuild europe into a bulwark against totalitarianism. that's why he extended america's helping hand, including with the berlin. that's why forged strong alliances with friends and

united states, and the ussr. ah, march the 31st 1945. a british royal air force plane lands in crimea with a very important passenger. the british prime minister's wife, clementine churchill. boop, our daughter kettle a. ye will put dish and she has shrimps me. you see your blue bus clinical roughly this year? yes, manella, she does show or a clover stuff. secret service is historian, explains why that unusual visit took place at double at washing luggage narration in your shirt or she a few that aren't dusk, but he for pushing up a junior enough. obviously, things jeremiah knew unless of de la, formed for michelle for your school. for you to ask, you know, did you need your if my toilet mobile got out of the situation? clementine churchill became the 1st financial donor. mm. the fund eventually raised total of more than $9000000.00 pounds. sterling, but assume alternative was national and i bought you over a 1000000 enough convention to it. you should see you before by the end. you have got you could've been cut

obviously the united states has been training ukrainians . how to operate the equipment we've been provided, but there's a huge need. so if, if more europeans are getting in on the act of helping to train ukrainians so that they can defend their homes against this unprovoked attack. i say that's a good thing on balance. and the possibility of a nuclear strike, the threat of that coming from brush that has been mentioned every day this week, here in europe and in washington, i mean that, that is being firm with let me not to even think about using nukes yes. but there's also been talk of a possible arm again that we've heard it was, you know, the u. s. president was quoted or we over reacting to this or, or is it just being portrayed in the wrong way? what's your take? you know, when assessing a threatened national security domain, it's helpful to look at an adversaries intent and their capability. russia has the capability to conduct a nuclear attack, no doubt they have, according to the 2018 nuclear posture review here in the united states,

i'm so most emphatically, yes, it was not approved by the united nations period. it was a nato operation. it was a legal nato operation. they killed over 2000 innocent civilians. i'm frankly innocent soldiers who hadn't declared war any body. ah ah, so it was also a vicarious war. it was intended to show russia the new russia, if he couldn't go too far. the so excuse, i was mean of amiability, artist, one i scenario niga, others vienna, illegal, staying out this year. we say no good. i'm here in the grocery, visio. well, a national, he was lewinski scenarios not as be any with talk other psychiatry or say the one. yeah. don't school go to worse. yeah. you know what i mean was not he is ashley cuz we're in the theater. he has in there. go yeah . tropical. mm. hm, after the collapse of the wall. so a treaty organization, nato expanded east, despite having promised not to. but they did. nato said ha, it's ours. we moved east international law exist as long as it serves american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist. so truthfully, there's no such thing as interna

should the united states annex taxes or not? if you think it should you vote for polk polk talks about the re-annexation of texas. he believed or at least purported to believe the taxes had been part of the louisiana purchase. that was an old argument. the americans had the only difficulty was it is was that stephen austin's own maps had showed that it wasn't. but other than these little little problematic things like the fact that it had not there's this sense that maybe some of it was all of it was part of the louisiana purchase. so that's what it means by re-annexation. john quincy adams who? the democrats hated because he had been elected president instead of jackson back in 1824. he's the one who had drawn up that treaty. in 1819 between mexico and the united states so they blamed him for for giving it in other words. so if you want to annex, texas you vote for poke from tennessee known as young hickory. this is a pork. maybe i might be wrong about this, but i think he may be the only president we've ever had with a mullet.

the united states has to lead the world in producing these advanced chips. this law is going to make sure that it will and to be clear the chips and science act is not handing out blank checks to companies. i've directed my administration and i want you to listen to this to be laser focused on the guardrails is going to protect taxpayers dollars. we'll make sure the companies partner with unions, community colleges, technical schools and offer training and apprenticeships. we're gonna make sure the work small and minority owned businesses get to participate. we're gonna make sure that companies that take these taxpayers dollars do not turn around and make investments in china investments that undermine our supply chains and national security. [applause] that's a guarantee because in this law, i have the power to take back any federal funding from these companies. they don't meet these requirements. that's in the law. the law requires the companies build these semiconductor facilities, pay davis bacon, prevailing wages and they do it here and it's gonna sure.

i agree with that funded and managed for the most part by the united states. so it is, if it is a u. s. actor in many ways, and if i was a european, i would be ashamed that have a headquarters of nato there. and, and to celebrate nato because it really celebrates puppets re. but if you look at the longer trend all the way back to, well let's start with clinton, we can go further. but bill clinton and yugoslavia, the break up of yugoslavia what's, what's on the other side of that? well, former russian territories. and that was a nato operation. then we had invasion, occupation of afghanistan, and course iraq was a nato operation as well, the rock against iran, but look at afghanistan, 20 years in afghanistan, a nato operation in many ways. and nato was part of that. why it is not anywhere near europe, but it doesn't matter. it was part of it. and then we abruptly left, you know, but 19 years too late. but we left already preparation for, you know, making a new theater. and ukraine hadn't had been in place. but the summer that we left afghan a stand, 6 months be

it's an ally of the united states. it has its own ambitions, the united states, in order to destroy isis up. and this is lama state that had grown up in ne, syria, had to dump the arabic opposition in syria and side with a kurdish opposition. and the kurdish forces because they were the only ones that were willing to kill this sidney arabs that made up isis. and so america jumped switched horses in the middle, the stream in $21415.00 and began to arm the kurds and the largest and most able kurdish organization was the y p g, which turkey considers part of the pay k k of this terrorist organization. so turkey got furious at u. s. strategy which was to kill, which was the arm these people and train them because it worried about the, the blow back inside turkey itself. so this set these partners against each other. and today there's, you know, steep competition cuz america is helping the kurds and perky wants them not to. so turkey is increasingly closing ranks with the outside regime in order to try to collectively get r

states, but to dissolve the united states, right? the union subsisting between south carolina and other states under the name of the united states of america is hereby dissolved. in some ways. this is an acknowledgment of the problem of secession right if you withdraw from the union does the union continue to exist. lincoln is going to make the same kind of claim once he is going to give his inauguration in march in general the idea. is that the constitution only functions through comedy right through this compromise framework and if one state withdraws then the union is dissolved and this is echoed in almost all the newspapers in south carolina in the period following the december 20th vote. and so they're going to say that the union is dissolved. this language makes the case that south carolina's consent is required to be in the union. this is not something that lincoln and other republicans are going to accept but this is the argument that they are going to make. now south carolina is doing this but at the same time. federal polit

additional affordable housing units equals to 15% of the number of affordable onsite units required. or that all residential units are for households that include at least one san francisco unified school district or city college employee with certain household income restrictions. projects that use city property or city financing would no longer require a board of supervisors approval. the board of supervisors could amend city law to apply these streamline approvals to additional type of housing projects: in certain projects contractors must provide healthcare benefits and offer apprenticeship opportunity. if you vote no, you do not want to make these changes. i'm here with corey smith with the housing action coalition and a proponent of prop d, welcome. >> thank you. >> we're also joined by joseph smook from the race and equity planning coalition and opponent of the coalition. >> thanks for having me. >> thank you both for being here. i would like to start with corey. why do you believe this proposition is so important? >> well, thank you shanna and thank you to the league for host

i think we will stay strong and united in the face of russian pressure. he is hoping that is not the case and would like to buy time to get through the winter, to regroup. in terms of what is happening economically, i think that is less of a factor. he has ways to ride this out. that does not mean they can't have things get worse for them sooner than we think in terms of the economy. the other thing is we don't really know how fast things could deteriorate from putin in terms of all that. we have seen more demonstrating in recent years. what we do know about russia is that we cannot predict when people will come to the streets in such large numbers that the military, the security elite will say putin has to go. this is not tenable. as ambassador taylor mentioned, if the military is also getting soundly defeated at a certain point, the general will go to put in and say we can fight. you have to come up with some other deal for us if you will or if he doesn't acquiesce, they will try to figure out a way to replace him. there are a lot of dynamics right now

and the idea that the united states believes that there's a future in selling l and g to the united states as i to, to europe and, and you're not going to be bailed out either by mythology of us allergy, even steepest possible price control, clearly clearly and none of these people the thought, any of this are, you know, larry, what are future historians get to think about this? i mean, this is all self inflicted. these are craving choices. these none of this should be happening larry. some airy parallels if you will, with the 1st world war, because when you look back at the health, the world got drugged in europe in particular, was drug into a completely unnecessary massive slaughter. there are the historians will look back at this period and see a complete failure of leadership across the board, an unnecessary provocation of russia and refusal to negotiate and, and in the end, it will, this is going to lead to, unfortunately widespread pain. i think das destruction, i don't mean to be a doom say or but it just, the future is dark in what we're looking at because the leaders are refusing

unit 73. 1. did everything from exploding bombs laced with anthrax next to prisoners who were tied to steaks in a feel like we have evidence that they gave disease infected chocolates to children. i plead guilty to having exercised to direct guidance of preparations for conducting biological warfare, chiefly against the soviet union. biological bombs were to be dropped on vladivostok, but a shill of about ask jetta when to plug a vision's tribunal transcript. generally amount auto commander in chief japanese quantum army, ceramic bombs containing typhoid and cholera and anthrax. what will so she will you see is brain child you may go and medical russia. no, nothing to do with it. more like it. you can build that up out of serial, not donia. so i mean, i could build a pitch hooked at them. bombs, packed with deadly bacteria, were meant to be dropped on soviet cities. o, on june 21st 1945, victoria soldiers marched across red square. with the many of those present with marshall vessels, ski as thei

i often think in the united states. and particularly in united states congress. there is a confusion between operational and declaratory strategy. um, we would be a lot more advanced both the united states and as us allies in our dealings with the people's republic of china if 95% of the focus was on the clarity and consistency of our behavior and its cont and its and it's consistency with the coherent strategy. of deterrence as opposed to what i would describe as this continued rhetorical attraction to what we put into our declaratory strategy about the chinese on every and every day of the week. furthermore if your emphasis is on the declaratory side rather than the operational side, then you create all sorts of opportunities to cause a fence cultural offense and and the rest which frankly clouds out your ability to deal with the substantive issues of the day. so i have a deeply realist view of how you deal with leninists those of us who come from social democratic parties like i do by the way for a hundred years since the second international in the 1880s, we'
