The life of las go. This is all the money as well as a mom in 30 minutes of news and views on. Now, new jersey newman, a treaty, the ship has re posted the rejected an offer of a visit from the united nations. Echo us and a representative from the african union. Ne, i may points to the quote column context of the following in the sections imposed on the country. A new Prime Minister has also been appointed a day off of the week long ultimatum from other regional book at cos ended. The good thing had swept into the west african nation with military intervention. People from neighboring molly say is up to these. Yeah. Not outside is to solve their own issues. To rekey that money always just for them to fail the same face. Theyre ready to go and attack a sovereign country, which according to his people dont like that present. Thats a new sherry and problem and is up to need yet to solve. It is not up to africa to intervene. My, the commitments of molly and burkina faso can change things today. They are military powers. If you see molly speaking like this is because molly and these here are similar, are in the same boat as something effects and these year effects malia as well. I do not believe that there will be an intervention with the military intervention. Im convinced there will be chaos these after a war. There are inevitably consequences. Now, just wait a minute to load says full lightfoot, and these are for the in the crew. And over through of the government. So it was immediate condemnation for much of the international community. While faults of the you, im us cut off all financial aid. Now thats enraged locals. It took to the streets. Im still, im the french embassy. Then of course, gave a 7 day deadline for the to the this to reinstate the president. All face meditate intervention. Now the mom though was met and now the grouping will hold another meeting on thursday. Across all the Economic Group of economy, economic commit to a west african state consist of 15 members, including a new jack, which along with molly book and a fast so i can get a, have a suspended from the block off the old going through. Cuz now the agents have also back from these guys, new authorities echo us has since slapped all sorts of functions on the country and threatened minifie intervention a lip i gave we pointed to allow the use of the disruption of the ridges means pulse, democratic consolidation in the region, it was, is lovely to tell the truth, loved it when on the way where we are going to strike, thats its out of pollution. Load the system that will be taken by the hassle. See, what will you to be like the amount of this n t for this operation . Large here as president bullets a new bill has also ordered an extra fee to be cut to nailing the jack is being one of the strongest advocate submitted fee intervention, but didnt win over the senate in boucher which rejected his cool dislike condemning the discipline. See of it, and he has new rulers, the nigerian need, his own rec, what has been called into question in a recent report by the grades an investigative outlet. You have just over and over throughout his political career the, these huge corruption scandals that have somehow not managed to destroy his, his political career throughout this process. He has been meeting repeatedly according to what you weeks cables that i reviewed with the u. S. Embassy and thats is officials and basically briefing them over and over again on the Political Landscape in nigeria, the us investor at the time said that his assessments have been very useful for, for the americans. And so you have to wonder, you know, why was bullets you need to never indicted in the United States . Why was he allowed to keep so much of the initially seized money from his Bank Accounts that was said to be involved in it and, and Drug Trafficking is, is what did what kind of deal was he able to strike with, with american authorities and, and you have to also understand that the boats, unable is the perfect kind of imperial puppet for the United States. This is what they do over and over again is they find a compromise to figure somebody that they can exert leverage on. And they prop them up and the 2nd that they become no longer useful they, they go after them and they get rid of them. They put them in jail or have them taken out, you know, so he, for, for, for whats going on in niger right now. And in, in west africa, hes a perfect person for the United States because they can basically make him do whatever they want. The bigger problem here is that the Nigerian Senate has rejected his request to invade nice year. So hes, hes, it looks like hes trying to use his power at the eco was the regional block. Uh that he chairs um to, to have an invasion and, and just uh, 2 days ago the eco was said that they would attack nice year, but they wont. And now is when and where are how and hes a is a close of call, going to help things a chief of the lights on is some your opinions, nations is been at the close of the largest supply of uranium for the past 2 decades, which is t food nuclear energy. I mentioned the physical tomorrow in the west african country. Former colonial rule of from insists quote. Business as usual, must continue. Heres the grey zones, alex ruby, this time again in the future of western economies, at least in so far as western planners see it on rely on, on the exploitation of low wage miners in, in western africa. And, and so, um this, you know, the United States wants to do agree new deal thats gonna require rarest minerals. The United States wants to keep the funding, the military Industrial Complex while they cant produce sophisticated weapon systems without this kind of stuff. And any, any kind of Smart Technology or, or on course Green Technology relies heavily on this stuff. And so this, this is in many ways a battle for the future of economic dominance. Whats that risk here is, is a regional proxy word. That is, is very dangerous. For, for, for not just west africa, but, you know, these things spill over and i believe that this conflict in west africa has, has a potential piece despite a lot of control and, and brings us that much closer to world war 3 territory. Find was a lie, is our focus on these and could a similar situation be about fund for the, for the east, on the continent, the view of and Security Services have quite local militias are fussing over to the government. But ill tell you, dont come, has been delving into via account analysis when you get this all the way the tysons in the saw region of africa on the rise. Some politicians and frosts of made public, the disagreement with the leaves a progress over the nations policy tools if former colonies today its new share. Yesterday it was molly the Central African republic brewing of a sort, rejecting france French Forces french companies. But we did not understand the pollution of french poets in africa on a military level, as well as on the level of joint development or on the level of cultural and linguistic cooperation. Today, the french africa yesterday has been replaced by the military russian africa by the economic chinese africa and by the diplomatic american africa. And unfortunately, what do we have to say about the regression of the french language and comparison was english based on the dressing french president. And youre not co now in a Major National newspaper live feed, yahoo and theyre doing it on behalf of 94 french parliamentarians. Now what they want, they say, is a quote review of francis vision of africa and links to the content because its all just suddenly a big mystery to them as to what could possibly have gone. So wrong, so the French Defense minister responded to the letter by basically saying, failures, watch failures, you big drama, queens. I cant let it be sent. An operation by hand was a failure. Our army has constantly pushed back terrorist groups and this a hell savings, thousands of lives there, but also protecting french people at home from the threat of attacks on our soil. Our hand was not a failure. It is a mistake to say that apparently none of the french politicians know why africa would possibly turn to Russias Wagner group for Security Services. When frank strips were doing such a bang up job with counterterrorism and stability, that crews were happening left and right right under their noses in places like molly guinea and 14 and also and the chair and the west african region was just named the global at the center of terrorism by the institute of economics and pieces 2023 global terrorism index, and need yeah, as an added bonus, even got a special mention in that report for its terrorism search. It was just earlier this year. The french president evaluated mccaul, tried re branding terraces, africa strives e, in an obvious effort to have an excuse to just keep hanging out there. Looks like just for me, what does it says on . I can know oakland just hit me with the objective of this new face of this new era in which were entering is to deploy our security presence in the Partnership Form so that it fits this new partnership toward the repetition of history. There is another path. Another path which consists not producing africa to a field of competition or profit. And then considering the african countries as partners with whom we shared interest and responsibilities. Not co repeatedly mentioned in partnerships with African Civil Society translation. French cash for energy owes to do frances bidding for it in africa. Not who made a point of saying that this was all about not quote, taking people for imbeciles, which is kind of like a big flashing read sign advertising. I saw snow. Im about to just that. Its not like mollys foreign minister didnt spell it all out for michael and anyone else willing to listen . What exactly france was doing wrong in africa process itself to funds to assess the results of the operation. The objective of operation by con was deliberate molly from Service Groups and provide security, but i can see that 9 years later the overall results. I see overall result because there were many players involved. The overall result did not meet the expectations of the people of molly and the region because were only fighting terrorism in the north of the country. And now there are growing issues with terrorism in other 1000 areas. In molly, we see more and more into a communal violence which leads to a lot of depths at present. The situation in many countries of the region is unstable. One cannot claims at tamales to blame here, poly itself suffered from the invasion of libya by western countries. The results of the operation was not worth the effort. And the money invested rushing for mr. Said gala rough also pointed out last year that former french for mr. John elijah, the yall and the chief different not use of bro had told him that russia had nothing to do in africa. Neither by the state means nor by private means because africa is an area of interest to be you. And friends. Maybe they should have just told the problem that they licked it to like kids do with the entire box of chocolates or candy, just to make sure that russian knew that her belong to them. With this level of self awareness, its all indeed just a big mystery as to why french seduction efforts have backfired in africa. The russian or press star. And then the tip code has sued the metro pause. An apo count, so they have performances. It comes as the american opera house, what causes the russian soprano also, the conflict in ukraine started. This isnt the tip code. It is demanding of 360000. 00 damages for breach of contract defamation. Along with a number of all the elected wire nations, the over house has reported the demanded hood to denounce in russias role in the conflict. She liked it and see in a facebook buttons, but her performances were not placed back on the schedule. And the beginning of this year, the match was previously ordered to hand over to the russians in more than 200000. 00 for more than a dozen shows that were cancelled. Well, lets discuss this topic with up see conks of beats. A, tara retard fantastic. That youve joined me here today. Now this is a side why is it that were here . Another yet another story of cancellation on capital culture, metropolitan opera, she responded to. Im a new type of suit. Anything it has the merits. I mean, what are your thoughts . Was it says dismissive about the about this claim . Well, because she is now trying to assert that theres been discrimination which they have obviously theyve discriminated against her because shes russian and not only that but tried to force her to denounce her own country at home. President , specifically president prudence, which was completely bonkers. Actually. I mean, shes from russia, its natural for her to support her country. She has nothing to do with the political decisions that are made. Just an artist. Shes an opera singer and very famous one, a fat. So that her 1st suit is successful because its a breach of contract. Thats the legal term of art. Now for those legal background, um so thats the straightforward, thats why they had to pay out. The discrimination and harms costs are reputation is whats being considered now. And i, and i hope that she is victorious and maybe this will open the door for others that have been slighted by not just the United States, but other western come countries, you know, um, in sports as well as arts to. So she, one of the 1st lot of, lets start with the see, see one like some 200000. 00 because they cant. So the other night. Well, the child is not because theres been so Much Negative pressure about her. I see him that she will get from the met again, this extra 300 or 1000. Yes. Well, the discrimination part of it being, you know, being for us to denounce our country and then having her, her performance has cancelled, and then her reputation sullied is basically the thrust of it in the emotional harm that he did her plus she had to leave america and she has nothing again to do with those political decisions. So if its ludicrous, actually, and again, it just goes to this cancellation culture in the United States and western nations as the america nato is finding this proxy war against russia via ukraine. And the victims not only are the ones on the battlefield and living and dont boss and other regions. But also, if you know arts and sports figures that are simply just trying to do their jobs with throughout the world and have nothing to do with the political scope. Interesting point the Mount Washington post. They did the same, almost hit piece on me. They, they specifically said about her that she spoke highly, a president putin. That said he was very attractive and that he was a good leader. But well, shes russian and thats her and its an object of fact he is attractive and he and the millions of women think this shows isnt like, you know, hard to figure out. I got in the same trouble for saying something positive about president clinton. Its almost like a copy and paste it, and hes like, its some papers to do hit pieces and to villain eyes. So they dont just want to suppress the speech. But they also want a villain eyes, russia and are leaders, which is ridiculous. Sure. Now the met did say the just we ways condemn what puts it is doing. She kind of did that. Mm hm. But was that more to it . Did they work something more then . Just say, look, she probably said something along the lines of, as you know, im against the wall up all the time. I like uh, what does the, what does they want to hesitate . All persons by the i will give up my nationality. Is that what they want it the thats it look like it looked like an ultimatum and they did the same thing to the new York Philharmonic conductor. As you recall, he was also fired because he refused to denounce russia and their leader. And so he was subsequently fired. Im hoping that this will set a precedent for other russian professionals that have been discriminated against because its racism, its wrong. And again, you know, this american exceptionalism telling people what to do has leaked into the arts and culture. And in sports, right . Um and you know, its, its, its not healthy so that the opera, apparently the manager is trying to be pro ukraine. And this is us taking the stance and its being basically a tool of the military Industrial Complex. We see a lot of this tied down a where this uh, buses trying to, i mean, one of the biggest countries in the world, a completely different culture from the west if you like. But yes, so much discrimination. I mean, all we likely to, if, when this is old, know, several of them on the death settles of theres a lot of people going to stop saying the, sorry. We were too involved in politics. We shouldnt have been involved in politics. But a mess have a body back or is this like this for ever . Now . I dont know. I think a lot of damage has been done. I mean theyre, theyre banning olympian athletes. Theyre banning wimbleton now for you. Its, you know, that are a russian and bella ruse from bella. Ruth, and its shocking, really. Um, you know, the way theyre trying to isolate and, and show this discrimination. My hope is that it will change. And i think a lawsuit like this will bring attention to the fact that you simply cant drag politics into the arts in this way, or discriminate in any way. And for someone force, a view of the military metropolitan opera onto their singer is ridiculous. So swift, i mean, whats this about new look, coffee is and what, whats the bottom in blake halting and russian or what, what, what does that sort of connect . Well, you know, i really think thats kind of an interesting term new mccarthy is. And because we are living in that, in a way like this, this making rush of the enemy when it doesnt want to be, its made it clear over and over again. And to prevent it talks, it doesnt want to be the enemy of the west. And yet, you know, neither decided to push up against the borders and use very aggressive rhetoric. This is all just part of the, you know, the, the rhetoric, its getting more and more violent towards russia, anti russian. And its, and its saved into the culture. Its using propaganda, its using film, television arts, sports to try to say rushes bad, americas good and, and need as good. And it was, its, i think its failing, obviously. And um, you know, you look at the sanctions and how theyre feeling right now, rushes economy is gone beyond germany. And now we, you know, with these success velocities, hopefully theyll be some, you know, we come up and to the, your american, i mean, youre going to people, the people, the by the 5, they say that youre american know, i kind of a kind of apologize for the hawkish way that we were old, actually this embarrassing with of the, by the size is really quite, hes quite a glass. There isnt the joe biden lights on in the program. Im gonna be talking to one of my guests and we told him about how america is actually dont want, whats going on. They what they want us to pull to anyway, but didnt leave the elections coming up for soon. If the administration changes the thoughts on rush, i might change. I hope so. I dont know the candidates will tell, but unfortunately you have candidates that are pretty pro war. Gavin newsome will probably be the take the place. Hes a place holder for joe biden. If you cant make it, and gavin you, some is just as much of a hop. If not more. And its really the people behind the scenes, right. Most of the people you dont see, its the bureaucrats that are very hawkish. Its the blinking. Its the victoria new ones and that military Industrial Complex, those, those Manufacturing Companies that are profiting for more but so they have their tentacles in media, social media. And thats how theyre doing things like even reaching opera, right . Suppressing and, and trying to put their message forward. Yeah, its a shame effects really the office of the world more than anything else, but tolerate, always good to associate. Thank you so much for joining us. Think i me in the studio, the talking to him, or if i got back into the fight, thats who on out to other stories pakistan has reported the suspended the construction of a major gas pipeline with neighboring iran due to the threats of us sanctions. Pakistan has issued a force mature unexcused, an event notice to run under the guest sales and purchase agreement, which is ultimately suspend. Spec us those obligations under the g. C. P a. The wrong peg of some gas pipeline project is told due to International Sanctions on ron, given that no date and deadline can be given for the completion of the or on peg system gas pipeline project. The pipeline was expected to supply a massive 750000000 cubic feet of natural gas per day from iran to practiced on folks or to pull the of the underway with the u. S. Government through diplomatic channels to get the project authorized. Washington has come down on his economic prescriptions against a on, in recent years. I mean, i guess those are the, is the public has been seeking to develop nuclear weapons. Iran, adam and they did is the same. We heard from a journalist kaz watercress, that is all about. He says the us up is unconcerned by real issues affecting the south asian country. Americans have what and did that should i focus on the back old from gas pipeline, then that was the cheap gas pipeline did. And it on it on had i feel good. Its called the park in front of the box. But American American dont not care about that. They did not get that the pockets on it desperately, you know, facing the economy, crowns, and republicans as well, and base it on august on gas pipeline. So again, so as i lifeline both pockets on his economy, but they do not get pockets on i was thinking on this project, but there is no particular offer uh 2 days to get it on biography on gas pipeline as i land. And i had to move in by the phone. The only hope is that yeah, because it is eagerly uh, wanting to import the code on the phone, right . You have to pay if the problem you know, uh, is the following month. And i could find a the, the button in the middle section is a report to be sent to amount 200000000. 00 of new movie aid to keep the funds are set to become available off to the 6000000. 00 plus accounting mistake admitted by the pentagon in june, it comes on the hill of a recent cnn Public Opinion poll that revealed the majority of americans do not support providing ukraine with additional met the equipment that they revealed about 55 percent of americans are opposed to congress authorizing additional funding for the for any military republicans were more likely to hold that position than democrats also a majority of 51 percent. But a washington has already done enough to assist cube us up from the 38 percent since february of last year. When also about how they feel of job items, highly of the complex and 53 percent said, they disapprove me while Washington Presses on with it as a reco at high volumes of obviously keeps government the amount the wolf, any previous supplies of American Allies in modern history on january last year to may of this year, the u. S. Provided more than 46000000000. 00 with a movie assistance to you, came by and included 23. 00 and a half 1000000000. 00 and a weapons and equipment process. The aid compromises that more than 60 percent of the total of us assistance for the country. The largest package, estimated at 1300000. 00 will include missing trends and ad defense systems. To discuss this in, well thats, thats close lives. That right there has some political commentary to the guilt. Steve, always good to those here. So theres a recent poll findings tell us about the popular opinion of americans towards the plain convert. What do, what do you make of it . I think the numbers are pretty amazing. Considering the one sided story, the media has been seeking americans, i think its, its uh illustrative that, that many are having doubts when they havent really been given the truth of whats actually been going on the life of accountability of the money weve set. But i think like tara was mentioning earlier, the defense contractors, the military defense, Industrial Complex, the politicians hands are deep in their pockets. And after the Afghanistan War came to an end, the military needed a new war, so more bombs, more missiles, more airplanes. You know, if you watch the sunday morning, a political talk shows in the United States. Theres ads by raytheon and boeing and these others that are selling on military equipment and airplanes. Its not because folks watching at home are going to buy an f 16. Theyre wanting to, to make sure that the media is reporting the size of the story. They want the somehow we have to be and you pray. We have to continue a war that never was necessary from the beginning. And i think americans are starting to wake up to that, and i think youre starting to see some in congress and also the few in the senate start to push back from the sort of blank check approach to ukraine as well. I know, and russian and politicians dont read the polls and then stick their finger in the way and, and kind of go with where the people are. But in the United States as exactly how it happened. So i think that with these holes, maybe youre going to see members of congress and the senate start as the tougher questions about how many. Busy or billions, were going to deliver to zones. Whereas america getting all this money from, by the way, steve, i mean, you can keep raising and ive, but that ceiling. Uh, are you are you just printing it and send me over. And theyre just printing it and were borrowing it from china, which is the other problem. And again, jeremy started you a little bit about the, a tax on artist and sports figures and others who have nothing to do with russian political or military policy. Well, while were punishing their athletes and, and try to block them and their artist from performing, were not doing the same thing with china in the past at the height of the cold war, we still found that sport to the common denominator for bringing people together. Weve abandoned all sense of, of, you know, kind of common sense of reason in, in this rush is evil. We must denounce rushing people and i think i get as tara was mentioning earlier, this going to be a long slog to try to get back to decent relations. And thats going to have to require people to people contact governments could to disagree and could have conflicts. But you only rebuild relationships when peoples, you know, that are traveling to rush or rushes, you know, coming to United States. People begin to make the ground work of rebuilding relationships, and thats gonna take a while. Saves, you know . Yeah, is it as k just keeps off going for more . It will, he just keep getting more. I mean, is, is he getting of these arms, these weapons, or is it escapes fil a little bit like money loan thing to me as well. And again, when youve got to buy the scandals of a breeze by and you, ukraine, go the buying family, send a kit was not getting money from europe. Why they were giving it from europe over your brain. They werent getting it from july. They were getting it from china. And us political and International Policy has clearly had the psalm on the scale in terms of our dealings with china, our dealings with the ukraine as a result of the money it was blowing into the pockets of the vines. I think americans again are starting to wake up to that as well and, and the idea that were going to continue to fund. So lets do you find the pensions of funds is Government Funds is personal wells, apparently hes buying villas and mansions all over the world with the money that were sending there. And then you see these pictures and cheese of people as a swimming pools, you know cavorting and having fun at the peaches each morning and having fun. It doesnt look like the work
