and want to move to russia possibly. fiend actually welcomed russia and want to move to russia possibly.— move to russia possibly. and how big a iece of move to russia possibly. and how big a piece of territory, _ move to russia possibly. and how big a piece of territory, you _ move to russia possibly. and how big a piece of territory, you know, i move to russia possibly. and how big a piece of territory, you know, is - a piece of territory, you know, is pro—russian? it a piece of territory, you know, is pro-russian?— pro-russian? it is difficult to assess the — pro-russian? it is difficult to assess the sentiment - pro-russian? it is difficult to assess the sentiment in - pro-russian? it is difficult to - assess the sentiment in occupied parts of ukraine because carrying out a credible opinion poll is absolutely impossible. let's look at kherson, for example, the region that was recently retaken by ukraine. russian said that 87% of residents of that region voted to join russia in late september. went ukrainian troops arrived, i struggled to find those figures credible because s

and it's bloody in russia. it's, it's, it's weakening in feebly russia. and that's all that the united states is seeking to achieve and ukraine, the doesn't really care about, you know, getting territory back so much as weakening and hurting rusher. so that, that objective of the united states has to be the chief. so if a sci fi were put in place now, and then this will be in preparation for a renewed ukrainian offensive, maybe next year, maybe in 2 years time. so russia will not have achieved anything through sci fi. so the idea that with roll from house on city was in preparation for some kind of a deal that, that makes absolutely no sense. i told them, i don't think the government in the kremlin could possibly. so why. i think that the question is, what is russia planning on? i would certainly think that they are planning for an offensive in maybe in the winter, or maybe in the early spring. and then we really raise the question, how will that offensive and secure some of their goals? because 300000 was also forces that they are planning to deploy for

well, there changes at all levels, including changes within russia and the balance with russia. between conservatives, liberals that has been dramatically changed. the balance between russia and the west is something we see in the dynamic. everyday content has many different vectors. it would be the question of the dollarization, the question of the industrialization of europe. and it's fading roland world compared to russia's comparative stability and intended growth through a re industrialization. these are processes that are very much in evidence and use evidence in the, in the daily news the need. as regards the global balance, russia has, has clearly won the interest and attraction of the global south. i'm so there have been dramatic changes in the world diplomacy that are swept to the sides of our western mainstream, but occasionally reemerge and attract some interests that have in mind the, the changes in the middle east, the changes in relationships between the united states and iran, or western european iran versus russia's growing strategic alliance for the run and rus

now it is a nato war against russia. so it's, it's very much a fig leaf here, and it's an excuse for washington and london, the most, russo phobic place on the planet not to sit down with the russians. because as we've already said in the program unprovoked, in all of that, you know, you can sit down and negotiate with someone that provokes a war, which of course, in the bush has already talked about the 20th century example here. so this is an intentional strategy. i can see how it could possibly work to their advantage. oh, but let me remember it's the europeans who will suffer the most for it. while that is so magnanimous from europe, transatlantic friends in washington go ahead. in london, when i mean this is a fact the anglo sphere, i would say all the u. k. american block, or i would say the u. k. american establishment is using our ukraine and people as a counselor in order to achieve its geopolitical objectives and goals. ah, but i mean for, i can't go beyond the, the, the, the political, a risk between the west

so, because by projecting by, say, russia, bob, to be an empire. no, it's they maintain american hegemony. that's what they're saying in that has nothing to do with russia. it's about maintaining american germany. go finish up before we go to the break. no. obviously i never calls didn't fusion ski smart. i just, i just said he was obsessed with hating russia, and that's exactly what this was motivated by. well, absolutely. let's let me go to gauge here gauge. i want to talk about last minute here, and then i want to talk about the 2nd half of the program and nothing about ukraine without ukraine. does that mean to you? well, i mean, it's a, it's a suicidal narrative. you asked me. i don't think the greenest went on their own at all. and if they're going to put it all in, i feel like the death tolls will go higher. that's why i think we should be pushing for peace right now. to prevent that from happening and russia has been saying, hey, let's sit down and talk other than the regions that have been annexed. but the referendum we can sit down and ta

russia is a danger to everyone.— russia needs to be stopped. russia is a danger to everyone. and when it comes to the — is a danger to everyone. and when it comes to the situation _ is a danger to everyone. and when it comes to the situation on the - comes to the situation on the ground in those cities that have been targeted today, bring us up to where we are, because we already know it's been a very difficult set of situations in terms of electricity supplies and energy. what is happening now? i know you'rejoining us from kyiv, one of the many cities that have been targeted? i’ge us from kyiv, one of the many cities that have been targeted?— that have been targeted? i've 'ust looked out the i that have been targeted? i've 'ust looked out the window * that have been targeted? i've 'ust looked out the window to * that have been targeted? i've just looked out the window to take - that have been targeted? i've just looked out the window to take a l that have been targeted? i've just i looked out the window to take a look at the situation, most of it is dark actually. abou

but it does to russia, this was in pose. i keep saying, i know it's not popular. ukraine volunteered for this. and as we're speaking right now, there are ukrainian officials saying to ukrainians, if you can leave the country, leave me for the next 3 or 4 months. this is going to be really bad here. ok. this was all predictable one. yes. but even though you're kind of not one entity in the sense, because we say, well why doesn't? so let's go sit down and talk. obviously if the lights are about to go off, you know, you've got 500000 russian troops about the storm. you know, this is a time sit down but, but well, but you know, coming to someone excuse defense if you will. if he would sit down and negotiate with russia, he doesn't have supreme control necessarily like what would happen with much of the military who opposes him in solution and argue that he's not possibly in on this. and i would also point out what happened in the beginning because it went to, let's get 1st was voted in, keep in mind he wants them to 3 percent of

from russia for. but who should, oh, it was very clear from the beginning that the korean kiva elite elite was afraid of russian id as a more competitive. and this was the were and heard from english as a more competitive. and so they were making their policies are building their feet on the anti russian platform. there was only one of the reasons of this conflict and the weakness of, of that elite. but it was a reason. but focusing on the language as this certified battle ground, or even back in 2014. i think many of the van said it was a capital is this language? bill was one of the capitalist for rushes, actions. i'm a big fan of ludovic vision stein. it says famous selling mystic scholar, and there are many, many, a studies that confirmed his famous statement that the limits of my language and the limits of my world. that language indeed defines how you see the world in this sense, doesn't it make it a military and strategic meaning to try to erase somebody else's language or in a, in a way that i

even though russia is a g. 20 member. the summit closing statement said leaders and denounced the war despite some divisions among the group. western leaders also met on the sidelines of the g 20 to discuss the missile explosion on the polish border. germany's chancellor, all of charlotte's called for a thorough investigation and warned against drawing hasty conclusions. indonesia, president joke of the dodo who hosted the g 20, called the incident and poland regrettable at the guy. so i did russia as a g 20 member, agrees to a communique that condemns the war in ukraine. i put that question to d. w's alexander phenomena in bali was very interesting question because of course you would assume that russia would do anything to prevent the strong condemnation of its war on ukraine from being included in the official document. and we put this question 2 officials to western officials here in bali. and they told us that it was a success for the indonesian presidency of the g 20. they were reaching out talking to every member o

because by labeling russia, a state sponsor of terror, the sanctions would be extended not only to russia, but also to any other companies around the world. doing business with russian entities and this could get very complicated, very fast. that's through the american hesitation. however, i disagree with the concern that labeling russia state sponsor of terror would somehow mean that we are no longer able to speak with russia. on the contrary, this would be a very strong signal of deterrence. and an incentive for the russians to back down and come peacefully to the negotiating table by saying you will not get off this list until you lay down your arms and leave ukrainian territory to do i dont agree . i think we will not be in a position to flip my russia into a submission. this is unrealistic, in my view. and if you're a demo knows a complete state. i don't speak about single persons who are responsible for this and that then you will have difficulty later on to speak openly to that state and it will not be a just a negotiation. we are the one side or decides what it sorry, where one si

and we urgently asked russia for help. russia responded immediately by sending the plane carrying oxygen reservoirs, and then the very same plane was used for 2 months flying across latin america twice a day to deliver more oxygen to cuba. so we managed to minimize effects of this dramatic situation and we will never forget this gesture. so as i, he said, russia was very helpful during the pandemic. they actually supply 20 tons of just 8 and supplies and shipments to the island as you know, when you're sanctioned, you don't have access to that. and of course western nations didn't really care to help cuba. only, of course, the sanctioned nations like russia have. and in addition to that, since a bite and administration, the cuban a country, the cuban people have experienced just massive effects of these sanctions losing about $2015000000.00 per day, or 63500000000 dollars since the biden took place. thus the interesting point is that when you hear about sanctions, people assume it's, it's affecting the government, affecting top officials. but really as the poorest of the pur are most hit

and russia lost his client forever. russia will be a loser off this edge of metal. see the thing about being a gas station is that you have something that everyone needs even milan of. it's pointed that out when he said that russia and the u. s. are quote, indestructible because they have unlimited amounts of energy for their deeds. well and for everyone else's needs. so it seems like the real loser here is the customer, europe, in this case, which is forced to go round to other global gas stations, demanding a discount like my call is doing with the us. american gas is $3.00 to $4.00 times cheaper on the domestic market. than the price of which they offer to europeans. these are double standards. you might also recall that just last year, german chancellor, all of schultz, his party was trying to lecture another, a global gas station cutter on human rights. but this week, berlin signed a 15 year liquefied natural gas deal with doha. unfortunately, for german households and industry guitar, a gas won't arrive until 2026. but that's certainly gives europe plenty of t

he wants russia to back off. he wants to support mr. zelenskyy in what he is doing in ukraine, but once the administration has kept its message very tightly controlled and not gotten ahead of the facts is a good thing because more than the actual matter that took place on polish territory is the symbolism it had and the heightened anxiety within various nato countries mostly along the frontier with ukraine, so it is the psychological impact which is important. >> it does seem russia has appreciated the calm response from the u.s. might one go so far as to say this is some way to improving trust between the two sides? >> no, in fact, americans had a careful message. they suggested they did not want escalation, but at the same time, the message will be clear, and basically at this point in time, they have a level of support for ukraine and what ukrainians are doing in russia so far. at this point, there's no sign of escalation, but at the same time, this incident shows you cannot always control escalation in these areas, in these circumst

in trade goes from russia to south africa, and about the same amount goes from south africa to russia. and if you look at what south africa she importing from russia, it's a lot of like, staple foods like, especially wheat. right. and as you know, the price of bread is something that all governments are worried about. major revolutions. i've been going back to 1789 and the french revolution, but also in egypt more recently in 2011, these revolutions have been sparked by the price of bread going up, you know, 10200 or, or sometimes a 1000 percent. right? so when we're talking about, you know, these sanctions, we're talking about perhaps shipments being stopped, as we've already seen, to some extent. and we've seen food inflation to some extent already hitting if that goes higher than i think it's not just south africa, but the entire world should be worried about the, the ramifications of this war. absolutely, certainly a lot of things to still hash out as it pertains to this new multi polar world that we're dealing with. and this ongoing war between russia and ukraine, severe dasani o

it was russia, not ukraine, of samuel russia dismiss, has dismissed this verdict as politically motivated. does the case make the responsibility of the kremlin clear and your view either the case there's a, there's once about the criminal, clear because it's undeniable that the process, the separatist and danny ask, were proxies and puppets of the kremlin right. ego gurkin arrived over there and the men did deb no revolution, nor an insurgency. and the radians had to fight against after the annexation of crimea. and it was part of a direct russian effort to stabilize each new crime and the rest of the country more broadly. so these actors were clearly part of russia strategic plan. and russia gave of firm directions for them on, on military activities. and that's why that's why i think that ultimately russia is to blame contextually along with the evidence that was just mentioned. ok, let me come back to you thomas. now because some victims, families have suggested that russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. this here may have been, may, could, could have been averted if the internation

and russia came forward and pointed out that these allegations that were leveled at russia in the aftermath of the incident, diesel allegations led to a very dangerous escalation. it appeared. this was an attempt to draw nato countries in the conflict in ukraine, which is quite serious, and russia presented evidence. we did hear from different countries that spoke. they continued to criticize russia, but they did not focus on the incident. they didn't repeat some of the heavy allegations that were escalating things within the previous the previous day, previous 24 hours. it seems like they're moving away from trying to blame russia for the deadly incident. they do it mat. this missile, it appears to have been of ukrainian origin, and that the deadly incident that took place was not the direct responsibility of russia. however, they continued to argue in kind of a convoluted way, because the conflict itself is one that they blame on russia, that the incident is therefore, russia's fault. insolent will slightly colstat ball, ukrainian air defense me san fired to the fens, ukrainian territory

and when a country asks russia for help in the fight against terrorism and russia provides it like in syria, you guess that that's actually also terrorism. however, when america, europe provide weapons and funding that ends up in the hands of terrorists, they are freedom fighters. thankfully, the world is much bigger than the european union ending united states of america, no matter how hard they tried to silence voices that refused to follow their line. ortiz, rory, sushi was joined earlier by experts in the fields of human rights on international law to discuss the potential consequences of the measure. i think it just adds fuel to the fire, certainly. but i just want to say that how ridiculous that is, you know, people need to be reminded that the 1st world leader to call george w bush, after 911, was potent to offer condolences offer help on the war in terror and gave help in the war in terror, particularly an afghan stay where russia still had assets after the soviet presence there. and of course, well, and i've been to syria twice. i was last year and there you see that the russ

now with laos, lau still maintains military ties to russia. i. economic ties to china is part of the belt road initiative. the new china allows railway that opened in december and transports both goods and people at very, very high speeds with the technologies of compatible with chinese best technology. and we know that while the united states has no high speed railway, china leads the world and high speed railway. and so they've got, this is very impressive railway between china allows as part of china's economic development approach and about that rail professor at like he said, china in december of 2021 has completed this 5 year rail project from their unit province into laos as capital city of van john, the $6000000.00 project, is a game changer for the landlocked country which can shift it's position theoretically in asia to becoming basically a transport hub which could boost torres and boost the economy more broadly. now, given the investment by china and the military cooperation from russia, do you believe this might be why president b

under the slogan, stop russia now and blazoned with a phrase they referred to russia's role in ukraine as genocide. let's not cross live to independent journalist luke, we're evey to discuss that this further lick levy to see how many thanks for joining us now. hollins, just applied for 3000000 tons of russian oil, despite claiming it wants to completely cut. is that a g and dependence on russia? what's going on, luke? what it says she would she pocket again? because as you clearly said, through spot by plan, you know, friendship, good name was not affected by the decision to, to stop the, the arrival of tankers from russia. so it continues and 3000000 tons. it's huge, it's a, it's an important decision because it represents probably the total of their consumption for the year, 2023 as a comparison for example, but i was consumes in normally here, $2000000.00 tons, sofa, poland, with a larger economy, 3000000 tons that makes it about what they need. so they said, you know, they, they would do their best to stop importing russian oil. and they can't even with an access to the sea, even

support russia and it's where the role in the g 20 summit, russia has strong influence in various spheres of cooperation of the world's community. no one dares to deprive russia of its true right to participate in international multilateral negotiations. it seems that the razor division within the west itself, we more more often hear words such as peace and negotiations from different west and politicians and officials. the view now seems to run out of sanctions imposed on russia, had a chance to ask for mr. la rog, whether we actually can take this as an official shift and if so, what could we expect? let's take a listen gentle shop at georgia. you never know what's going on in someone else's mind. short periods of mutual understanding with the european union evaporate quickly. just a day, i had a brief conversation with president micron, reaffirmed his intention to maintain contact with vladimir potent to find some kind of agreement and resolve the whole situation as he put it through force. i told him once again, all the problems are on the ukrainian side, which categorically refuses a

now of course, ukraine also accuses russia of war crimes bought by contrast. russia says that ukraine certainly cranium servicemen that were surrendering earlier this week. are being treated in accordance with the geneva convention. now moscow has said that zalinski and his henchmen will answer for their actions. but so far kiev and the west have remained silent. but this silence speaks volumes as the allegations of war crimes continues to mount. statement he fancied estes hast thou thoughts, ease at steve sweeney, crystal, neon, st. journalist and founder of the dumbass insider website, says the west will likely turn a blind eye to this incident. if you look carefully at the positions of the corpses under 2 videos, you see that keeps the same folder as the russian minister. the fan said, it's not the 1st time that we see such videos. we have to remember these videos from the georgia and the gin which tortured and killed the russian prisoners of war and the fume themselves and they published it. so it's not like the 1st time that it happened. there was no investigation, there were no

policy toward russia. we will speak with ray mcgovern former cia analyst who , a specialized in the soviet union, as well as matt duss, former bernie sanders advisor and now with the carnegie endowment for international peace. we will speak with mary kay henry, president of seiu, the service employees international union. >> working people are taking acti and speaking out and demanding a voice on the job and in our democracy stop on the job through a union and in our democracy to develop box. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. russia has announced it is rejoining a deal allowing for grain shipments from ukraine's ports. this comes just four days after russia withdrew from the deal sparking fears it could worsen the global hunger crisis. turkish president recep tayyip erdogan said the renewed deal would prioritize grain shipments to somalia, djibouti, sudan, and other african nations. russia said it rejoined to the deal after

we have still access to russia, russia today, or to russian or other countries, us through newspapers, through internet, social media, to bend that to my mind, it's not good for democrats. so despite the found on the document who states that many people are downloading vpn, so they're able to access it. so what does that tell us about about people that they just want a diversity of news? they want hotel, it, the voices or the art is just really popular. i think that tales, that of course, some people are clinging to the mainstream media, which all tell the same narrative. but other people don't believe it because they see that it's to one side, and so they try to get access to different use to use from all words to my mind. anyway, that is the best way to calm yourself if you want to know something, what is happening in the both of you are there where you want to know anything about. but if she'll be there because you and all the places in the lives of the best, to have the possibility to look at different kinds of media from different countries . and so if it's something which, if it

case. russia knows exactly what's going on over. you train every single square centimeter of it. they know where these will digital truths are, is basically what the west is doing. is putting a target on the back of their own troops, just like zalinski is willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of his own soldiers in a few. well, after 2 years, the more the, the lack of any kind of moral responsibility from coming from the west is astounding. sadly, yes, of course. then they even don't care about it. but i would like to insist on the, on the question, if you will owe me of the, of the good were of communication or controlling the formation. if you look at what happened to were all t in france, are they managed to block on you to go china, they manage to look on odyssey, which, which is we're supposed to be an antenna to china. they managed to block a rumble. and the reason is, 1st, of course, continuing laying on the, on the what happened in ukraine, but they were afraid by social unrest. we're going to happen in france because of th

you must support russia. you must actively support russia, and you ould defend russia. sean: boikov has led groups of australian cossacks to russia where they fired guns and visited a military training facility. [gunshots] sean: in 2018, simeon boikov told a russian media outlet, "we have a unique opportunity to support russia from within an enemy state." he was referring to australia. he said cossacks in australia could "pursue a pro-russian position, lobby politicians and members of parliament, oppose anyone who lies about russia, attacks russia, or imposes sanctions. basically, they can wage an information war." sean: why do you regard australia as an enemy state? simeon: no, australia, in this context, a state which is placing sanctions against russia and behaving in an anti-russian manner, you know, in that way could be perceived that the activities are not the activities of an ally. the main thing to know is we're not against australia at all. we love australia. we will defend australia, and we'll try to defend it, and we wanna facilitate the rehabilitation of aus

russia. you have russian troops and tanks stationed very near your capital in the two pro—moscow backed separatist enclaves, south ossetia and abkhazia. you're a small nation of barely four million. your army is about 37,000. i mean, russia, if it wanted to, could take georgia in an afternoon. do you think it might want to absorb you? 0h, russia has always wanted to absorb georgia. that's a long dream of the russian empire first, then of the soviet union that in fact incorporated the independent georgia in 1921. in 1992, �*93, what people did not know that much, russia was completely involved in the fight of the separatists against georgia and was actively militarily involved. 2008 was the latest manifestation of these attempts by russia. so we know that, we're living with that and we've been living for a very long time. first of all, georgia, one has to know, has also lived many centuries with many invasions by different empires and has resisted all of that. and that's maybe a miracle or

and russia came forward and pointed out that these allegations that were leveled at russia and the aftermath of the incident. diesel allegations led to a very dangerous escalation. it appeared. this was an account to drop ukraine into the conflict. i'm to draw the nato countries into the conflict and ukraine, which is quite hear it. and russia presented evidence. we did hear from different countries that spoke. they continued to criticize russia, but they did not focus on the incident. they didn't repeat some of the heavy allegations that were escalating thing within the previous the previous day. the previous 24 hours seemed like they're moving away from trying to blame russia for the deadly incident. but it was pretty clear that western leaders did very much want to keep focused on demonizing, russia. russia didn't present evidence to show that the incident was simply not the doing of the russian federation of western countries. and now st was probably cleaning and missed the so pride, me, russia. why is that? sure, that's the thrust of what we've heard from the nato chief stolen burger fr

there is a protest inside all of russia against mobilization and war. (man talking on loudspeaker) but people seem to be very angry and very motivated to continue being on the streets. >> (shouting) >> we have at least 96 detained in st. petersburg. and overall, i think it's over 300 now. we were just in the square, where they were about to close off the entire protest, and we just got out. i, i do feel scared, my heart is definitely pumping. >> narrator: the reporters in siberia, olga and elen say they were accused of posting anti-war stickers and arrested. >> (speaking russian): >> narrator: after they were released, they fled to the neighboring country with serval relatives. >> (speaking russian): >> narrator: after five months in jail, sasha is back in court. >> (speaking russian): >> (cheering and applauding) >> narrator: a week earlier, she'd been officially charged with spreading false information about the russian armed forces. she faces up to ten years in prison if convicted at trial. >> (speaking russian): >> (speaking russian): >> woman: >> o

it is only in reference to the state of play in between russia and the western general and russia and whatever government the city . and if, if that government remain keeps its hands free to procure and receive arms and other support from the west, then brushes. ambition of brown has to be sure the reaching is the conclusion of this war is a, make an acknowledgement all around the west centered can so that a few crane cannot be, cannot remain, made a fortress for the united states and nato at brushes, borders, but will instead, be a neutral state, then the territorial ambitions of russia in the special military operation. melissa, certainly, he reduced. i know that in one of your articles he mentioned that there is a possibility of not just too bad. a we ukraine's how do you see the launch commit? well, from the beginning of a special operation to today, the conflict is as new both and changed in nature and intensity, and solutions along the way. drop off the $33.00, ukraine's. i don't think this is a valid solution anyway for where we are today. however, a rump ukraine has to say, gr

that was blamed on russia as well. and yet there's another story that was also de bung fear rela, that the horrifying idea about gold teeth. yes. so these stories are extreme and they are sensational, as we mentioned. so this was about a plastic box that was filled with gold teeth, reportedly from ukrainian soldiers that were dead or alive. and this was, of course, a cited on all the western media without any fact checking. and it turned out that these, this story was debunked by a german outlet, and it actually belonged to a dentist, some indecency in a font. could these crowns have come from dead people? oh my god, i know they come from people i have treated all those years. i took these teeth out because they were bad. over the course of 30 years, i have removed tens of thousands of t on hobby thing. this is just a fraction of them. so while it was true that there were teeth and that $200.00 of them were found outside an area near east 80 m 8, was it, of course the story that the ukrainians came up with and the ukra

we know that russia and china are involved in the african continent. we know china is developing projects where they develop infrastructure, whether it's roads or housing schools. we know this is going on in parts of the continent. what do you think it's going to take full western professional partners to increase that focus on the african continent. whereas, for example, the likes of china and russia are already there in a sense. i think the way the waste is perceived as being a somehow to keep it and the developed, you know, because i think it developed africa, it's going to cause many problems with the risk and the waste on one day african contributed to the uplift meant to the quality of most of the powerful nation that simple everything we contributed to the economies of our countries like france, like with, you know, at the expense of our own african. so i think the west would lead to see epic and the developed a leg china and russia. mean, if you look at the growing presence of russia and china on the african continent, it's one or rather would

and russia also has to be capital. i've doesn't know we've had to at least one rather unhelpful comment from the kremlin, from the former president to meet you met with who said earlier today that the explosion says that the west is moving closer to another world war. that's pretty inflammatory. well, i mean that's me do it if i can develop this random for being very vocal hawk on his telegram channel since the started yeah, but i mean, you know, that we keep the roster of course is that to keep out nature as much as possible from ukraine, including from supplies or weapons if it's can and so forth. so yeah, that's rhetoric. it goes some ways to reminding what's at stake. but i think the overall effects to happen because it's bill from, from level to say, but it was the grant and responsible would be, can be beneficial for russia. the way they say it's that it's actually a can a few grains fold and you can, can be trotted and so forth. that really is no appetite at all from nato countries. is that to escalate this war

not russia. russia didn't go chase down native. they just asked to be respected and have their borders respected. and that's just not what happened in and ukraine and ukraine. nato is paid by this proxy war. in large part the united states is fighting this proxy war and we're finding ourselves on the other stick of.

ties both to russia and to the u. s. and i think china is on a whole different level, because as you say, it's the 2nd largest or by some measures even the largest economy in the world, but certainly the 2nd largest economy in the world. so it's a different, you know, these countries function differently for different reasons. yes, they all seem to be by and large following this line of strategic ambiguity. but i suspect that with a little bit of pressure, you know, brazil for example, could be persuaded to take more. you pay us dance, india, and even south africa, i think, you know, are, are vulnerable to changing their stance. if circumstances warranted. the question would be if they change their stance individually or as a block, what would they get in return? and i don't think the us is willing to, i mean, i don't think wilson with us is willing to, doesn't see this as a negotiation. i think they just see, you should tell our lie to get nothing for an exchange. and if that's the u. s. just and then no, no one will
