so how are events they're likely to be weighing on these talks in vienna? well, i think they will be intertwined with what is happening with ukraine. i think the russian perspective will be that look, our forces were wanted what they were asked for. and they went into a country that was in the middle of a very serious conflict. and they were able to maintain peace and order there. and as we heard from the catholic president, there was a huge psychological impact that those troops had. and they were seen according to the russians, as a peacekeeping force. and they were able to maintain order and law in a country on the brink of very serious conflict. and, and the talks in vienna, we'll be looking at how the russian true presence across along the border border with ukraine. it can be looked at in terms of the concern, the international community house, as well as the ukraine, about a possible increase intentions and hostilities with that country are all based on their desire to join nato. and i think the russians will use what's happened in kazakhstan to poin

more on this with us to barne vienna. this was a virtual meeting held by the 13 opec members plus 10 other countries including russia. and they have taken this decision to continue to increase opec's output as they did last july, following the huge slash that they took in at 2020. as a result of the pandemic, opec decided in 2020, that to add they will cut output by 10000000 barrels of oil for day. now as of july, they've decided that they're going to slowly start to bring that number back up to make up for that deficits. they're hoping by september of this year, they will be going back to free pandemic levels of production. this is important because of course, opec provides 40 just over 40 percent of the worlds are oil supply. and this meeting today was just another reiteration of their position that they will continue to increase production of 4 of $400000.00 barrels of oil per day. for the month of february, and that will continue monthly until they meet again at their next meeting will be next month again. but by doin

policy given the impasse of what we see in vienna and briefly what we've been seeing for a year aside from the withdrawal from afghanistan i think working to get back to the jcpoa has been the highest foreign policy priority and that hasn't happened yet. things seem to be going the other direction. >> first you have to recognize what the policy is and it's true in the obama and biden administration it's not a policy of prevention it is a policy of containment and that is a very critical difference. the policy is to prevent air on from ever developing nuclear capability. i'm not saying obama or biden [inaudible] the policy is contained. why do i say that? because if you would ask the senior members of the y administration and all the countries if you were left with only two choices and military confrontation or a nuclear armed iran which of the two scenarios is worse? for israel it is clear which one is worse. a military confrontation with iran is bad particularly because of hezbollah in the north and the danger that could lead to a larger conflict. but in the case of the u.s. under ob
