the things that were encouraged by the u. s. and the u. s. backed political actors at the time that created their crisis. and russia did not invade crimea or service to pull. they were there already. and there was a, there was a transition to crimea was reunited with russia and been separated in 1954. so these nuances never get talked about, and so they think russia is in violation of all these international laws, and that justifies nato expansion. so if we come to a forum, if we come to a negotiation table, these details should come out. will they though? is this what the u. s. wants do they want to have that conversation? i don't think they do. i don't think their allies do. they want to keep it in the realm of hyperbolic aggressive, to drive by comments and accusations. because there you don't have to have, you know, you really don't have to abide by any international agreements or treaties. you just seem to be reacting to russian aggression. so i think this is a really important point. you know, george is the argument set out for prese

so this is difficult for the u. s. and there, i think there's a little bit of panic setting in, in recent years, is finding a way to stay relevant, finding way to stay in there. no charge if, if washington and its allies reject these 2 documents. so, where do we go from there? because it seems to me that they are not taking this seriously. i think they're blinded by their own ideology. i think they're blinded by the sense of them being morally superior, which has nothing to do with international relations or international law. i mean, we're really in a quandary right now, but i don't think they understand the, the unstable situation that they have created. because russia is not going to surrender it's, it's national security full stop. yes, yes, i think so. and i think the, this goes together with the crisis in ukraine, which is what we were talking about the beginning. but the rest of the very comes with nato converging ukraine into just one giant aircraft carrier with dumping this huge amount of military hardware tra

the u. s. has warned russia have tough economic measures if at invades ukraine, president joe biden and vladimir putin held a 2 hour virtual coal that ended with no breakthrough. or the kremlin says the 2 leaders would keep engaging on practical and sensitive matters. u. s. national security advisor jake sullivans, as president barton, was clear and direct with black men, peyton, at lining the response from washington and its allies, if russia attacks ukraine. he reiterated america's support for ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. he told president, booting directly that of russia further invade ukraine, the united states and our european allies would respond with strong economic measures. we would provide additional defensive materiel to the ukrainians, above and beyond that, which we are already providing. and we would fortify our nato allies on the eastern flank with additional capabilities in response to such an escalation. he also told president putin, there's another option, th

but the u. s. federal reserve is still hesitant to take the big step, the serious action of curbing the spike, like raising interest rates. because that leads to its own problems, i supposed to call him peter ro, who told me that higher inflation drives people to take home more debt. there's a view that low level inflation is, is good for the economy. i'm not sure i subscribe to that, but certainly the kind of place we're seeing now is a very pernicious that makes life doubt as many aspects of the economy and may wage the pandemic, or rather, the central banking response of the pandemic is the main factor that's great in the place right now. last year, the federal reserve increase the years. one is our supply between 30 and 40 percent, and the root cause inflation is lots of money chasing the same are fewer goods and services. so that's the main one that is going to try to lift interest rates to tap down this in place, but they can't do they stop to open market bond purchase, as they've said, they

now, returning back to the concern trolling of, you know, from the u. s. i want to make a note of like hillary clinton has a mullet now to kind of like tony blair has a mala, i thought it was bobby clark who played on the philadelphia flyers back in the 1970 s. she opened her mouth right now, she probably would be missing all of her teeth as a very karen hair do. i can't. i can't say minds not like needing to be a little bit fixed. i hope mine looks a little bit better than hers, but there is also elizabeth warren in the press and we just mentioned it at the end of the last episode. so i want to bring it up again here because you know, this is that the regime right? whereby everybody else gets the blame except for that mike. so hillary clinton was a new saying it's bitcoin, which is jeffrey. i sang the us dollar as reserve currency. it's bit coins fault, it's not the fault of j. powell or the treasury, or the congress or the mismanagement over the past few decades of the u. s. economy . it is a bit coin here. we see. as a reminder, elizabeth warren said, w

but the u. s. held him in jail for almost 7 years before eventually returning him. and that was only after he took legal action against america. journalist rich of med, hearst, revealed the case papers and told us more you know, they've told the sounds that he can serve any potential sentence in his home country, australia. they said the exact same thing to mendoza, they told him just just let him come to the us and he can serve any sentence given back in spain. in mendoza's case, the united states signed a contract, an explicit contract with mendoza, and with spain saying that he must be returned to spain. he can not be given a life sentence, he kind of tried for concert structuring. they violated this, the u. s. kept him for 6 years and 9 months. the only reason mendoza was allowed to go back to spain is because he sued spain twice in the spanish supreme court. and he won. and spain threatened to cut off the extradition treaty with the us. that is when the u. s. felt pressure, they wanted to keep

i thought that the u. s. side. oh, what are, what put its priorities in a different way and that ever since the june meeting or some more saba and pragmatic approach or what, what, what will be on the agenda? i know u. s. military personnel involved in august botched drones strike in afghanistan were face any kind of punishment. 10 civilians were killed in the attack. most of them were children, but we got reaction from a grieving relative to this announcement that was made by the pentagon on monday. do not anticipate there being issues of personal accountability to be had with respect to the august 29th here strength lock, the key operation. the news came as a shock is humiliating for us to hear that no one will be prosecuted. they should have kept their word. we hope that the people who ordered and carried out this attack would face justice. the americans claim that they can spot the need on the ground from their satellites. so how could they not see the innocent family they were about to kill? they found no conn

v w executives wanted to expand in the u. s. and devised a plan. they called it to u. s. o 7, clean diesel. the executives wanted to take over the u. s. market, and eventually become the world's number one call maker. this was in 2005. the call maker began working on a clean and economical diesel engine to win over new drivers in the u. s. called the e. j 189. it was designed to conform to the strict to pollution standards in the u . s. small remaining relatively cheap. the engineering involved, however, was beset with problems from the outset for that is to as we'll do a global, sheila declared exact um, reduces plenty of engineers, said it would be too difficult to meet the u. s. 07 standards with the 1st engine always. but in guy they were ashamed, but didn't know how to make their project happen. this leave you with the shop door . but the pressure was on the e a $189.00 was stated to be ready for mass production within 2 years, as opposed to the 4 or 5 normally. doug keeps done it bizarre. then there are the ones who like to up sell for cough. i will manage it. i'm g

k. finalizes, it puts pressure on the u. s. y. because now the u. k isn't much stronger position to negotiate the u. s. u k tre deal because they're having all these other deals completed across the country. and you're right. this is the 1st one that's actually from scratch and eliminating all tariffs. but let's talk when she was secretary of trade, she did complete 70 other ones. so that's really important in terms of the u. s. one other factor, it's very important also in terms of the you case pivot towards asia. this is one of the things in terms of moving away from the e u. the u. k. wants to pivot to asia, that trans pacific, packed in terms of all those nations in the pacific region, australia was a member of that. so this is one step further to completing that agreement as well . so overall, huge. yeah, no, that's fascinating to see how, you know, i know you mentioned the buying and ministration specifically and putting that pressure on them. yeah, i think that they are actually really feeling that pressure on their end. is this something tha

but the u. s. federal reserve is still hesitant to take serious action to curve the spike, such as raising interest rates. economist peter earl says that higher inflation drives people to take on debt. there is a view that low low level inflation is, is good to be economy. i'm not sure i subscribed that, but certainly the kind of inflation we're seeing now is very pernicious and it breaks down as many aspects of the economy in many ways the pandemic, or rather the central begging response of the panoramic is the main factor. that's great in place right now. last year, the federal reserve increased the years money sharp supply by between 30 and 40 percent, and the root cause inflation is lots of money. jason, as they were fewer goods and services. so that's the main one that is going to try to lift interest rates due to tamp down of this question, but they can't do they stop to open market bond purchase? as nate said, they won't stop back until april or may of next year. so give me a while, was in p

when ask about this new law in the u. s. this is seen as one of the toughest laws on the books of facing some large companies that are doing business there, including apple, including many textile manufacturers. how tough can this be? will this be, how do you look at it? i think it's a tremendously daunting from the company's perspective. they are being asked, the owners of proof is on them to show that their supply chains in no way are benefiting or relying rather on forced labor and change on. and you have to keep in mind that they already, sometimes, you know, it's not always easy for them to get to the bottom of, of where their products are being sourced. they tend to focus on their top tier suppliers. they don't want to get in trouble because a 1st or 2nd tier supplier isn't doing something that the us government might see is objectionable. but in this case, we have multiple tiers of suppliers. you know, 23456 level suppliers. and if any of those are relying on force labor in china and particularly in change on those co

the program russian president vladimir putin and his u. s. counterpart. joe biden spoke on thursday as tensions have been steadily rising over russia's troop build up near the ukrainian border in the 50 minute call by demanded a de escalation and threatened russia with new sanctions. putin warned that such a move would lead to a complete rupture of ties between the 2 countries. despite theories of irreconcilable differences, both sides agreed that there were grounds for meaningful progress. it's the 2nd time this month. the 2 leaders have spoken and more talks with senior us and russian officials are set for january. for more, let's bring in james, curt shake. he's a visiting fellow with a brookings institute, specialize on european politics and u. s. foreign policy strategy. mister cur. take these were the 2nd talks this month between president biden and fulton. what results do you expect? i think they'll be more still made because i don't see the united states backing down. i said, united states and its allies does this really should not be a conversati

and what negotiators from the u. s. and the you are proposing a right now would fulfill the demands of crime and serve nationalists. and i want to remind you that on this several cred alliance was formed under the umbrella of, of, of russia and, and they wanted to get them closer to fulfill their ambition to divide bosnia and had to galena. so these particular reforms that the u. s. and e you are advocating for. ready now, i have been supporting by russia for years. i think the debt alone should cause. i know this was the negotiators to reevaluate the mer of the, of the, their plan in this scenario is what friends of boston had to be. not feared ahead of the last us election if, if trump one, but we never really expected from the biden an invitation to take this line. we really knew all along that the russian plan is to divide bosnia to cause a to conflict, to prevent loss near joining nato and the end of you. but the problem is that the, you and the us now are actually taking the rattling and everybody is really shocke

it's yet in u. s. the market valuations are still pretty crazy. but yeah, you know, it is headed towards one of those moments. one of those crises and then it will be time to take hard look at what you know you can find value in the us. so, i mean, you know, look, if you would, if i. 2 looked at in the 19 thirty's, if you would have bought the dividend aristocrats in the big well maybe they weren't dividend risk press. they'd cut all the demons. but you know, the what would turn into dividend aristocrats, the big blue chip companies that will be in time to do it now is the time to get out frankly. right next sam bruno from financial underground dot com. thanks for being on the special christmas dears kaiser report special. thanks, maxine stacy, great to be with you. all right, that's going to do for this additional kaiser report, special pre recorded christmas day years. event put the economic and monetary financial big picture into context with the legendary nick jam bruno enjoy your new years eve. will see you in 2022. ah ah ah. oh, when i want

in the u. s. army crone has caused chaos for airlines. with over 200000 daily infections nationwide, crews shortages have grounded planes. but president joe biden said the vaccination drive meant the u. s. was in a better position than in previous waves of infections. america had made progress. things are better, but we do know that with the rising cases, we still have tens of millions of vaccinated people. and we're shane hospitalizations, right? it means our hospital someplace was gonna get overrun, but in terms of equip both in terms of equipment and staff. on monday, new york city brought into effect a vaccine mandate for nearly all private sector workers. proof of vaccination is also needed for most indoor activities like eating in restaurants. strict measures that officials hope will keep the city fully open as the weld crosses into the 3rd year of the pandemic. peter king, hong is an infectious disease physician and a professor of medicine at the university of california. he joins me now from san francisco. dr. covered cases are on

that's happening to the u. s. 2. and yet remember, these are big users, huge long term trends, and we're just taking a snapshot and time. the important thing is to get the big picture right? because most people don't get the big picture. and they, for their focused on their day to day stuff, you want to get the big picture right. you want, you want to be left behind and, you know, when these historic trends play out. so i think that's what's gonna happen. it's, yes, you're absolutely right. there that the nation state is power is going to have to be broken and it's going to be broken, i think through bankruptcy and losing wars which is clearly have a question about cycles. because i know you study the big picture as you talk about it. they've got the 4th turning, which is the generational cycles that as we've talked about a few times, then you have the 3 cities trap, which is just kind of one power giving way to another power, in this case, the u. s. giving way to china. so you've got, and china, of course, is emergi

the u. s. n u n. have condemned the killing of at least 4 protest is by security forces in sudan. they was shot during a crackdown on nationwide protests. in some city security forces used t gas to disperse crowns more than 2 for more than 2 months, rather pro democracy activists in sudan have been matching against the military, which seized power in october. mohammed val has more from the capital, cuts him earlier in the day, or the impression was that to this day sir, protest was a, a less violent. and the numbers are for testers, less than during the, the, the previous occasions. but, you know, as the day progressed, it became clear that because security forces prevented the protest as an on demand to reach cartoon to cross the bridges into thing, central cartoon or the mate. the major consultation took place in on doorman itself, particularly in their street called shara allow by in, at, thus, where a goals are processed as were killed, 4 of them, according to medical sources, and also sources from the side of the year of the revolutionaries. the resistance committees, it, it'

so of course, and on the u. s. as well, this is part and parcel of the hybrid war is the hybrid wars that we see against the boulevard in camp and land america against china. this is the unipolar hedge of mine, in decline, afraid of more, ah, multi polar world, where different countries can team up together in overcome the sanctions in the blockades, in the hybrid war. so that's what this entire war effort is and here in the west here in the united states, we only hear about quote unquote rushes aggression. but they never mention that nato in the us of the ones that since 1991 after james baker promised the secretary of state at the time that nato would never creep even one inch east every day. they creeped further and further in violation of rushes, borders, and sovereignty. we've also got her g 7 group advanced economies as well. this was much singular on threatening russia, with a severe response, a detox you crate. these threats themselves are pretty dangerous, and again, russia said has got no intention of doi

the u. s. has warned russia of severe sanctions if it invades ukraine. president joe biden and vladimir putin held a 2 hour eventual call that ended with no breakthrough treatments guarantees that ukraine wont join nato. now in breaking news, an indian military helicopter carrying senior military officials as crashed and tumble. now do the air force has confirmed the chief of defense was one of those aboard. there were 14 people on that helicopter. when it went down, we'll be bring you more details here on out to 0 as we get them. now of course, in malaysia has upheld the conviction of former prime minister nadia brazile in a multi $1000000000.00 corruption case. he wanted the judge to throw out his 12 year prison sentence and a $50000000.00. fine. coven 19 cases in south korea have surpassed 7000 in a single day. for the 1st time. prime minister kimball kim says he's concerned about the increasing number of critically ill patients. he says the army con variant is contributing to the rise in in

and i think the u. s. was finally backing away from this idea that they now recognize they can't stop it from happening. well, ben, europe's obviously been in the grip of an energy crisis. how disruptive would sanctions on the pipeline be to ordinary europeans? do you think? why would the extremely serious consider the fact that that what congress was proposing to do was to place sanctions, not just on germany itself, but on any private company that helped to certify the actual pipeline itself. they wanted to sanction individuals and sanction companies that would be part of the certification process, which of course, is madness. the idea that you would punish these groups for certifying a pipeline that again, as you mentioned, europe in the midst of a terrible energy crisis right now, watching the cost of energy continue to stop skyrocket and of course winter is now upon us. and so in europe specifically, they have a desperate need to get as much energy as quickly as possible to bring that price down, nor

and for the 1st time, put the u. s. in the backsliding category and the democracy summit guest list has also raised some questions with participants such as zambia pakistan and nigeria classified by the index as hybrid regimes, not democracies. participants, iraq and nisha were even declared as authoritarian, and the democratic republic of congo was nearly at the bottom of the list of the least democratic countries. i meanwhile, the us national security adviser says american policies are less and less guided by the revere to global institutions. of the un i m f and the world bank. he says the u. s. needs more flexibility. we have entered a phase, i believe in foreign policy and international relations where it's no longer the formal, you know, the united nation and the i, m f and the world bank and so forth. we now have more of a complex mix of structures. there is no power the united states isn't you know, establishing its authority. it's a guy, it's a nation on the decline right now. and the amount of trickery will ch

we have 2 cities trap, the u. s. that we're with dynamic with the rising power. and in the end of the dominant power, establish power, that is going to be a huge trend that plays out. i hope it doesn't turn into war in jury. well, could. let's look at the positive side. okay. we're heading, it's almost new years eve. everybody's ready to party, they want their want to look forward to 2022 and beyond. so, you know, maximize lived in europe for a long time. and one thing you do notice is that in the history books that these were huge empires. they were colonial powers. you talk about africa, they ran most of africa and divided the love. well, when the british empires at their peak, they have like dickensian times, right? horrible times of the ordinary person. same in france, you see, you know, prior to world war one, world war 2, you had very malnourished people. you have all this fountains around that were donated by a wealthy person because there was so much like disease amongst the ordinary people even or well wrote about a down and out in paris and london. so,

s. intelligence had been surprised by this, of course, you know, if u. s. intelligence has been completely gutted in china is, you know, stacy but came out earlier this year. the united states lost the entire network in china. there was over 30 people executed. they were hacked in all the cia assets or in china, had been gone for 2 to 3 years. so it doesn't surprise me. they have no intelligence on this. i mean, we're under, like you just said industrial, we're in an institutional collapse of some kind. you can see at the military, you can see it in the money printing. you can see in the lack of being able to get anything done. and that's where we're at also like if you turn into the cable news and particularly amazon be c like half of the tv presenters are like celebrity intelligence. bimbo. so they're, they're cia agents, f, b i, agents. and they're like on television instead, which kind of reminds you of the end of the roman empire, like there's a sort of bimbo vacation going on and you know, who doesn't want to be a celebrity instead of like going ou

u and u. s. are at handling a possible pandemic exit. it's kind of like a boxing match because in one corner you've got the you christine, regard, emphasizing that the pandemic is what the, pressing the resume threatening growth. and that in order to ensure recovery and exit the e. c. b name needs to maintain both flexibility and as well as optionality, while making this a step by step process and that one massive full exit. well in the other corner you have in the red, white, and blue trunks. the federal reserve, jerome power, leading the charge being definitive, saying the u. s. will end all of its bond buying by march, accelerate. the time table for interest rate increases. inflation may be at a 31 year high, but the us is heading towards strong growth and full employment. and now who's with me? it's so different in terms of their approach total opposites. and the truth is what these different approaches are doing. they're setting the stage for a very choppy 2022 with the fed determine the end as the purchase of dispensed as possible

see the u. s. has put in germany and ribbons in belgium, italy, netherlands, turkey and but it says that this made nuclear sharing. so it's okay. that makes nato a role military, same or treaty was supposed to prevent 1st strikes. it will find the 19th and due to all the pm's, a post, the americans withdrawing from infantry wants to meet the nato asset that they're being federal. we have to have the natal solidarity. so now the world for it. and now we just talk about how paranoid rush heaping exactly the same argument arguments, but there being only a few years earlier. and it's the same with the trade in america, unilaterally withdrawal as well. we need maple some of that, right? so we will have to repeat the montero that actually was russia who was being violated. right, let me ask you a quick question. what are we in here? of all the treaties that you just mentioned? russia initially the withdrawal of any of those? no, no rush, all the grid a baby am i and so it's, it's but again, if we went bu

u. s armed violence in palestine. but 1st, it's the day after mainland, china's national day celebrations, which mark 72 years since the establishment of the people's republic of china after the chinese communist party won the civil war against the u. s. backed nationalist party. this made controversy over revelations of phone calls by u. s. general mili to re ensure china of no eminent us nuclear strike. and a surprise, australia nuclear submarine deal with london and more. joining me now from aging is the sense of china and globalization, vice president, victor gough. victor, thanks so much for coming back on. as i said, as the day after, um, you have a britain's, a queen, elizabeth aircraft, carrier coming toward your maritime borders. nato countries openly threatening your existence, ro, us as ronald reagan nurse strike, carry a force sailing towards you a bad times for china. welsh under just celebrated the 72nd national day. oh.
