this is gps , the global public square. welcome to all of you in the united states and around the world. i m fareed zakaria coming to you live. we ll begin today s program with the stunning developments in russia over the last few days. i ll be joined by top analysts who will help us understand what is happened so far and what might happen next and what is all means for the war in ukraine. also, french president emmanuel macron. i talk to him at a global summit he hosted in paris this week about how the west could help end extreme poverty and curb climate change. and about the striking rise of china and the potential of a thaw in its relations with the u.s. it is been an extraordinary 48 hours in russia as the world watched what president putin called an armed rebellion. the rebel leader prigozhin was the top caterer before he threw away his kitchen apron and now wears military fatigues as the head of wagner group which has provided mercenaries in africa and the midd
to welcome him that didn t materialize. but i don t think we re going to fully understand yesterday s events for some days or maybe even weeks. marsha, do you have a sense about the whole issue of the people on the the streets in rostov, for example, seemed to be cheering him on. that would seem kind of dangerous? what conclusion do you draw from that? so, you know, his main audience is the military and the people who adjacent to the military. and that is exactly who was in rostov, in the streets of rostov. i wouldn t put too much stock into his undermining the rational for the war narrative. there are many rationals for the war, it works by creating a caulko phony and what he has done is he s tapped into a deal
of defence, the whole invasion of ukraine was basically about getting stuff for putin s ollie arcs to steal so putting in mind the war narrative, that is number one and then he invades russia with his own troops. that is number two and putin cannot stop him. he is greeted with open arms by people in the military city in the staff and takes over the head of commander military and rolled onto moscow. but commander military and rolled onto moscow. onto moscow. but after all of that, and onto moscow. but after all of that, and i onto moscow. but after all of that, and i think onto moscow. but after all of that, and i think one - onto moscow. but after all of that, and i think one thing i that, and i think one thing that, and i think one thing that people may be confused about is why go on this grand time raid and call out things like corruption and call out what he said about the war as you mention there and they is turn around and say that s ok, it is all over now? it is all over
reason these same individuals, who are pushing war the war narrative in ukraine for u.s. forces they are the same ones who seem to soft pedal criticism of china. so i love china and be committed to war against russia when russia s economy is about the size of italy. not saying they are not an adversary, they are, but compared to china? they are not getting rich from russia. the biden family garbage from ukraine which is the main what goals me personally i believe in acting in whatever ways are necessary to enhance the interest or protect the interests of the united states, period. super simple guide to action abroad in my opinion. and it s a traditional one. it is not isolationism.
