Or broadcasting studios in moscow this is our Team International im sean thomas certainly. It is day 12 of nationwide unrest in belarus in the wake of the disputed election earlier this month large crowds on both sides of the divide are making their voices heard those who support president Alexander Lukashenko and those who want to see him gone. Oh. For the.

Are still there and we never change them theyre still dangerous and in some ways theyre more dangerous than ever because people are focused on other issues and they simply dont see the dangers that we face and sent in to parry why isnt it discussed. Thats that course is too deep for me to answer psychological question to fundamentally. When the cold war ended the danger and the worried that people had the fear that people had about a Nuclear Catastrophe just ended with it and they just dont want to pick it up again and soon again but unfortunately the reality is that the danger is still very much there. You searched at a time that the defining era of United States Nuclear Policy is that its focused on the wrong threat. What he talked about was the wrong threat so the threat that were focused on a leftover threat from the cold war is the threat of an intentional attack from russia that is simply not a likely threat because it would be suicidal for russia to watch that attack any attack
This is r. T. To national for good morning and thanks for joining us. We start this hour with brother recently said Opposition Leader spitler taken off his address to fellow citizens in a new video message in which she urged them to keep up the pressure on president bush and co with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election threw the country into political turmoil.
