russia russia is the priority chance when anything happens because lynching media is for mostly financial reasons petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be china it may you think after the countless wasted hours since the election hacking accusations of 2016 trying to prove russian collusion with trump trying to find the russian hacker smoking gun the political establishment might want to try something new but actually this time even the republicans are just as much out for blood as the democrats where the president has a blind spot when it comes to russia and so you can expect that that's the response that he would have the cia the national security administration and others who looked at this well there's no question it's come from russia all indications point to russia for the present united states either tries to deflect or is not willing to call out. the adversary as we make this after a beautician he is not making our country safer for the president to once again so see full it's an eerie. of the presidents are going to see when he also suggested when the russians the e

all around russia it's constantly going after russia russia by the way is a country that's got a military budget about 10 percent the size of the u.s. has but of course we're not but we're supposed to think oh my gosh they're 10 feet tall they're going to attack us isn't horrible i just want to mention one thing to the russians a christian country makes an unusual in this this world today but. i think that the no no evidence that russia has done any of this this is just the u.s. giving out its propaganda you know to make trouble in order to hurt trump they're afraid that them that trump might pull something out of his sleeve here right at the end before the before the inauguration of biden i must i must say i would love to see that if that does happen i hope pompei o. and bar among others are right out the door they think you're telling lou rockwell or through political consultants knife on our team trust. another story i want to bring you today 9 people have been killed in a car bombing in the afghan capital kabul 20 others were injured during the days of one of them a member of parliame

so we drink to russia every time. and now to wrap it up with less convoluted and , me say something else during this meeting, some asked about our plans and whether we have any plans to support families with children. nd here's what i want to tell. they actually said to me that they have lots of interesting ideas and initiatives how to support children. at the time of the new year. we have a pandemic and events have been canceled. all these concerts they have been canceled. children clubs aren't going to be open, and this holiday is a special one and brings a lot of hopes. we have so many anticipations. we hope the future will be bright and happy. yet today, we see a lot of bad things happening and yet we have hope. before i came here, i talked to the government and administration in my office and states will the give a present to the children, a small one, and modest and will e given to children below 7. every chilede. if your family has a child $5,000 0-7, you will get per child. i wish you you'll the best. and i al

king literally as to will donald trump will be offered a position in russia or a shelter in russia addict like diplomatic shields and political shelter the way it is the one that for instance would snowden is enjoying right now so here's how putin addressed that question. russian hackers have never helps any american president get elected and never interfered in the domestic affairs of the usa these allegations are all used to make relations between our 2 nations worse to undermine the legitimacy of the still incumbent president of the us and in this case now our bilateral relations are hostage to american domestic issues all of these topics and we still just very very barely scratch the very surface of what has been discussed here in the past well almost 5 hours it's literally the very very tip of the iceberg and a lot of the issues discussed today were very russia specific but of course crucial and what the russian population really wanted to hear about and normally these major conferences they don't just and now it means that there will be a lot of work done there will be a lot of phon

eurasia so i think russia is in the in has the ability to simply wait for. a reason to say i'm among the u.s. foreign policy elite but it will have to be some with a track record like nixon maybe a letter like a nixon who has the empty russia credentials but but can find a way now to articulate what is an essential necessity just getting along with russia in order to solve some of the world's bigger problems you know peter weigh in on that here because when i look at you know listen to policymakers here and people that are very much vested in russian foreign policy they think that they basically echo what nicholai said there isn't any we've reached out her hand long enough i mean if you want to talk and you have to reach out here and. because they think the there's an exhaustion here of patients ok and and you know when we look at here with the new administration coming in is it you know i am who everyone smile see on the op ed page of the new york times and you know we should be careful you mean in the united states because russia and china are close togeth

russia russia is the priority chance when anything happens because lame she media is for mostly financial reasons petrified of discussing the possibility that it may be shina it may trump we have another baseless accusation which the chinese foreign ministry has even criticized the spreading false information but who knows who is going to listen to that because when russia makes similar statements like denying having anything to do with hacking major u.s. government servers it seems like it falls on deaf ears within america's political establishment the u.s. political consultant says sauber a spinoff happens all the time in the main culprit isn't moscow. the the u.s. government by the way is always spying on every other country it's seeking to hack every other country whether it's russia china germany everybody else and this of course again sort of perfectly fine although i've never seen it addressed and u.s. media it's just not ever not ever mention so the u.s. is by and large very bad actor internationally russia does make a big deal out of it either that or most other countries because

to press on russia to continue. pressure on russia in the future and the policy of more sanctions from the west than apartness off russian federation is just brewing that so i think that this is sexually the thing which ship proves that they very much. on topic of hacking attacks politics sayst and this is near again i'm just reiterating myself this is paula c. then the actual cyber cyber warfare or well. just not to. contradict into my p.d.f. statement site of a cold flick to but which is very much ship all to sites tony is there any indication out there that this could have been carried out by any country other than russia at this point in time. no at this point in time i think everyone's right confident that forensic evidence is showing that that this was a i reckon nation state backed attack and it's from the same group actually this isn't new this began with moonlight mays attacks in 1999 and there have been numerous attacks since then by those same kind of back russian intelligence back groups and so this is s

largely because it doesn't do that much great in russia where the u.s. does do a lot of trade with china so if you go down the powerful. denouncing china a lot of people might lose a lot of money the rush is an easy target. by being overwhelmed with high casualty right to the pandemic sweden's parliament okayed a massive a record rise and dated military spending the defense ministries excuses russia. because because of the new security situation with russian aggression toward your your. crimea conflict in ukraine it is in belarus. the russian military capability were accomplished exercises activity in. the source so we see a new security of water that they're ready to use military power also to fulfill political goals is heck of spending jumped to the next 5 years defense spending will increase 40 percent to 11 $1000000000.00 it's being called the country's biggest military budget boost in modern history the armed forces will get up to $90000.00 new soldiers and the number of conscripts will double to all this coming despite sweden struggling out of the

russia, russia would dismantle them, then we would work with russia to convert it to nuclear fuel and we bought it for our nuclear power plants. 20% of the electricity in this country, 19-point-something is still nuclear power. so from 1994 to about 2001, we bought enough fuel from those weapons that had been dismantled and uranium, we bought enough of that material for 50% of our fuel supply for a nuclear power plant. if you do the arithmetic, 20% comes from nuclear, 50% -- 10% of all of the history in america came from materials presented to us during the cold war. that was a big, big move in the 1990s that not a lot of people paid attention to. the luger program sort of help do that with the funding to get those started and to help those countries who inherited those weapons as well as russia get control of their chemical and biological weapon program after 1991, the cold war. that basically resulted in the dismantling of thousands of nuclear war heads, destruction of many bombers, submarines, missiles, missile sigh lows a--s and so forth. ukraine and kyrgyzstan kept all their weap
