This. Who will check the biggest options for answers to the president , the armed forces of ukraine, the church, volunteers, or, if you have your own version, please write in the comments below this video. Next, we have oleksandr khara, an expert on foreign and Security Policy at the center for defense strategies. Mr. Oleksandr, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on our air. Good evening, mr. Serhiy, it is mutual, today, anthony blinken, secretary of state of the United States of america flew to israel to show support for ukraine, with the situation in which israel got into in connection with the attacks of hamas, lets listen to what blinken said today to the Prime Minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu. The message i bring to israel today is, you can be Strong Enough to stand up for yourself. But as long as america exists, you will never, ever have to, we will always be there for you. Mr. Alexander, this statement by blinken is obviously directed at iran, at syria, at other countries of the arab world, and not only this statement, but also the Aircraft Carrier group, gerald ford, headed by gerald ford. Where she arrived to the shores of israel, is washingtons voice convincing enough now in the middle east war, you know, i think this is blinkens public message, it wasnt a public message, because if were talking about the return of the United States to the middle east, because the countries of the region understand that without the United States, it is impossible to solve the problems, no one is going back either to china or to the russians. Federation, we see a crisis that could turn into a regional conflict with farreaching consequences, but no pekin and moscow are not involved here, they, if pekin is sitting on the fence, then moscow is trying to justify terrorism and is trying to play some kind of pseudodiplomacy, and the propaganda channels were aimed at discrediting, first of all, israel, but also ukraine with these trophy weapons that were transferred. Means terrorists and most likely, this is one of the main factors that we can use to say that the Russian Federation is involved, if not in the planning of this largescale attack, then at least in order to use the weapons and the desire to discredit ukraine, lets say, by hurting the state of israel and the israelis, here, but the hidden message, it seems to me, is that. Mr. Netanyahu did not, lets say, overstep certain limits, because of course, he actually has now is carte blanche, because in order to change the balance of power not only within the state itself, but also in the region, it is very important here what the reaction will be, to what extent , lets say, this cleaning, will it cause a negative reaction from the countries of the region, which are currently being observed, and how much. Iran will have any desire, whether directly, most likely through proxy groups such as hezbollah, to be involved in such a conflict, i think that this will not happen, but it certainly depends on how they will, this purge will take place , what will be the ground campaign, how will it affect the civilians, the palestinians, and will it not distract those arabs who are now watching, of course, silently supporting the palestinians, but cannot openly say it, because of course such a brutal attack is not can be justified and nothing, on the main, lets say, security guarantees, the main, signals of support, israel, almost not only, the Aircraft Carrier group of gerald fort, as well as eisenhower, since it is the second group of troops, which, as the American Military says and, therefore , official factors, she was scheduled for her rotation in the mediterranean, and in fact, she is now heading there, that is. Then this is a clear indicator that neither iran nor its proxy groups or groups, either from syria or from libya, should not get in there, and by the way, this is a very interesting thing, on the one hand, we can to see a new balance of power in the region, on the other hand, the government , or this one, or if he holds on, well, i mean, if netanyahu holds on, and there is a possibility that after such a failure of intelligence and the military, and lets say this, he can be ousted from power, and of course what hes trying to do now with the force , this anger that hes showing, the force of retribution for the atrocities and the killings and actually the effect of 9 11, hes going to try to compensate for that, but its clear that hes in a precarious position and actually his doctrine of neglect means by the palestinians and in fact the politics of the orthodoxy of internal life, which has caused a constitutional crisis, although israel does not have a constitution, but in fact it has one, all these factors may play a role in the fact that we after some time after the end of this acute phase of course, we will see that he he will be squeezed out of politics, and it is very important, besides all this, how the russians are trying to, lets say, use. The conflict to discredit ukraine, not only with weapons, and these propaganda cliches have already been picked up by the trumpians , they they accuse biden of the fact that, well, first of all, weapons were transferred to ukraine, secondly, that biden allegedly transferred to ukraine certain means that were previously deployed in the region in the event of a crisis, in fact, they say that there is such a crisis. Actually no , these facilities are intended to respond to a possible regional conflict, and thats the first point, and the second point, in fact, you remember it very well, how the americans agreed with the south koreans when they transferred the same munitions, including from composition provided for israel, they were handing over to ukraine, instead they were filling it with south korean munitions, meaning i dont believe that the American Military, especially one like mr. Miley, who retired, that he could jeopardize his own interests of the United States, as well as a key an ally of the United States in the region, so of course what is happening there now in the gas sector and in israel as a whole depends , lets say, on the level of support that can be provided by us, i liked the idea of the Biden Administration , which is currently being worked on, about the possible packaging. Of aid to ukraine, israel, and possibly taiwan, into one, one resolution, which will have to be dug up by the trumpians, who wanted to deprive ukraine of such aid as soon as possible. Mr. Oleksandr, 50, or rather, 67 years ago, in 1956, when there was a swedish crisis, western countries and france, in particular great britain, started hostilities in egypt, and at the time when it was unfolding, Nikita Khrushchev took advantage of this history and introduced troops to budapest, and actually, we know how did it all end, uh, or not , should we draw any parallels, that russia, at a time when the whole world will be focused on a war in the near. East, will do something that will go beyond what it can do the Russian Federation and beyond what the Russian Federation will be allowed to do . No, you know, of course, that the potential of the Russian Federation of the soviet union is incomparable, especially if we are talking about the 50s and 60s, when the americans were afraid of the superiority of the soviet union in space, did not know and were, you do you remember that only after, lets say, the handing in of one of the officers, it was found out that pinkovskii, pinkovskii, it seems, it was an exaggeration, in fact, of the number, of nuclear. Ammunition and Ballistic Missiles and that the soviet economy and even the admirers of the military industry cannot help increasing this number, the Russian Federation is in much worse conditions than then, this is the first moment, the second moment, if we are talking about ukraine, then they are stuck here, they cannot do anything more than trying to individual, lets say, areas, to advance something, they can certainly work below the line. Of a direct invasion, a direct conflict, and most likely they are, lets say, behind the terrorist attack that took place in the baltic between estonia and finland, the gas pipeline and therefore the Relevant Communications were damaged, they may try to destabilize the situation in africa in order to put pressure more so on the europeans , who have interests there, but most importantly, of course, with these waves of refugees, that is, they can do shit. Here, but something serious is unlikely, and so they try to play this diplomacy, most likely the maximum bonus they get will be a little more oil revenue, it is clear that when there are some, such conflicts in the middle east, and the economy is global, it still depends, to a large extent, on oil, this green transition has not yet taken place, of course this will affect prices, although on the other hand, such a player would not be very interested in the background of a rather slow exit from the crisis and the confrontation that is happening with the United States, we are waiting for a meeting with sidneypinny in november, if he goes to the United States with biden and maybe they will normalize these relations, which have cooled down now and they, lets say this, of course, they are additional instability and additional a factor that affects all of us , so i dont think that russia can do. Something so fundamentally mischievous, but small things, of course, thats in their style, in the kegibi style, and actually, given the resources that they have they own mr. Oleksandr, general budanov suggests that these regional or local wars may become part of a large global war, what do you think will happen in the event of such a war, if this war happens. What is the world waiting for, the redistribution of spheres of influence, the creation of a multipolar one, as he always says and repeats, this is putin of a multipolar world , will there still be two poles, a conditional civilization and a Conditional Group of countries that we classify as a group of autocratic countries, well, you know, that is the question for a million dollars, as they say, and for by and large, two schools of thought can be distinguished, opinions on the theory of international politics, international relations, the first says that polarization will indeed take place and there will be two main poles, the United States will remain, so it has reduced its power, it cannot have an unhindered influence on the whole world and set certain rules, and we see that the decline of the United States is happening, but it is as fast and powerful as beijing, tehran and moscow would like it to be. Well , of course. That there is growth in china and it shows his power, behaves more aggressively, and of course the plans he hatches are quite dangerous for the world, because the third world war may start around taiwan. The second school, which i am a supporter of, actually says that the United States will reduce its ability to influence the whole world, it will concentrate on key regions for itself, instead , china will be. Unable to play the role of this superpower, because thats all still a developing country, because after all, it is a country that is extremely dependent on technological and on other, other plans, from more developed countries, primarily the United States, and now coalition alliances are being created to restrain the development of the Defense Industry and, accordingly, offensive potential, as well as high technologies, which are needed in order to earn the same big money that is needed for both defense and diplomacy and the expansion of chinas influence in the world, so most likely we will see in the next 510, maybe 15 years, a refragmentation of our international system, when there will be middle powers that will evolve into an Important Role in certain regions, and the United States itself, it will have greater opportunities , that is, there will be priority regions somewhere in them, for example, the same middle east, obama announced the exit from the middle east, because he announced the turn to asia in 2009, and because he thought that then, first of all, the United States , thanks to this revolution, also. Gas, that you are independent, the United States is independent from the middle east, and actually everything is more or less normal there, of course these conflicts, they are not resolved, but they certainly did not deter so much, and china, its growing mission called for more and more, lets say , caution and desire to counter it, and the actual withdrawal of the United States caused the collapse that we see now, primarily in syria, and the war. Federations to the middle east and then to africa, now the United States is coming back, and they will play a role there and try to be brokers, balance balance the interests of their former allies or those allies that may return, like saudi arabia, by the way quite a lot lost in this conflict, since, lets say, negotiations actually took place, i dont know how much it was the finish line, but the negotiations on the provision of guarantees were definitely substantive. Security of saudi arabia, the sale of weapons, and on the other hand, the establishment of diplomatic relations, or rather the restoration with israel, and as a bonus for the arab world, it was a kind of compromise solution to the palestinian issue, it is now clear that the palestinians were primarily affected by this conflict, because a large number they died or will die, there will definitely be no peace prospects for the next five or so years, and of course. That now we see how other europeans are curtailing aid to the palestinian authority, because they see that this money was not used for welfare, not for development, so that, in fact, this hatred of the israeli state was converted into such attacks. Of course, there are other victims, countries and their interests, but this is probably the most important thing. Mr. Oleksandr, we have seen over the past five days how the role of a peacemaker on in the middle east, Vladimir Putin is preparing himself, or rather, he is doing everything so that representatives of iraq or iran talk about the fact that vladimir volodymyrovych cannot do without your participation, that you must intervene in this conflict, and here is putin, who in the 90s, first creates conflicts, and then comes to defuse them , well, approximately the same scheme, as you assess, here is putins attempt to return to the top Political League of the world, after what, what is happening , after what is happening in to ukraine, and of course, his prospects in general, to articulate something or to offer something, including washington, well , you know, from him, like water from a goose, he can tell you anything, and again, he does not have such a potential , which he can convert and project, that is, project his. Power to some other regions, he can do something precisely, well , for example, how wagner helped to make these state rebellions in the african countries of the sahel region, that is, they can do it, send killers , that they may teach others murderers, so that they would seize power, and of course , i want to roll out, pump out, i apologize, the resources from there, the actual colonial policy, diamonds, oil, gas, other minerals. Russia is not capable of doing something more technological in the middle east, so of course they are in the opec format, but it is such, you know , an alliance, very conditional, it just, lets say, unites egoists in a certain sense, and above all saudi arabia, which has a fairly passable relationship with the United States, since the murder of the journalist khashoggi, and of course, critics of how they conduct this war in yemen. Operation, and by the way, the same houthis are supported by iran, that is, in fact, iran is trying to create such a complete platform or platforms against its main opponents, first of all, of course , israel and hezbollah, which means hamas, the support of the houthis and other, lets say, groups, of course , that russia is not a player here, it can get certain dividends, it can try to shake up the situation, then in social media, with propaganda, with some of its satellites, or with some other things, and of course, it can provide weapons, intelligence information, by the way, what budanov said about, i honestly did not look for this information, that just before the day of this, lets say, terrorist attack, in fact, one of the intelligence satellites of the Russian Federation, in order to transfer this information to iran and, accordingly, it would definitely fall into the hands of terrorists, so there are definitely such signals being conveyed, but there is no clear involvement, there is definitely no potential.
