or, you know, outside europe. then i think that we would be looking into a more and more successful global position of europe in the world. and you are right now we need to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral way. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay. i mean, we're brought out of time. we've run out of time, i guess the major question is can europe survive the european union to be continue gentlemen? ok, many thanks them i guess in paris and in guilford. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c. next time. remember, talk with with kaiser financial survival guide. when customers go buy, you reduce the price. now well, reduce a lower that standard cutting, but what's good for food market? it's not good

, because i think a, a, europe of nation states would likely return in europe to, into war levels of dysfunction and economic misery. well, that's a very strong statement there and how do you feel about that? because that is the charge and we've, you know, and it was all around the briggs that debate here is that the brussels wants too much power. and it is trying to one size fits all. i mean, it was at least the claims that were made by the briggs. it tears ok. now i asked you, did they learn anything from it? because there are, there are, we've all agreed on this program is that euro skepticism is on the rise. what is exactly means is very unclear to me because it seems to me, it is more of a demand for reform and not to got the entire project. go ahead, allen. well, i do understand the letters being signed by the circle populace parties. life view is the goal, you integrate, the less efficient, it becomes gross becomes less, most of its major policies of fail, the years fail, europe stagnate him do this. and so you was introduced the italian, they call them is patent student still

of europe in the world. and you are right, we need to do to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral away, and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay. i mean, we do have run out of time. we've run out of time, i guess a major question is, can europe survive the european union to be continue gentlemen? okay, many thanks them i guess in paris and in guilford. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c. next time. remember, pa stuck with ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking together for the world politics sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then. mm. i look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by h

europe stands at a crossroads will remain dependent on washington is a junior partner or will europe ought to play the role of a great power on the world stage. i cross talking e u china relations. i'm joined by my guess i nor tango in beijing. he is a political and economic affairs commentator in prague. we have brad blankenship. he is a columnist at c g, t. and as well as an rti contributor and in elecom that we cross to look revenge. he is an independent journalist or a gentleman, cross hoc rules and the fact that means you can jump in any time you want. now he's appreciate, look, let me go to you 1st here. i mean, it, you know, on the face of it, you know, the europe's relationship or more rather you relationship with china is very convoluted because major training for our trading partners, a major investment deal. i'm kind of stuck. but, you know, there's been, there's an understanding about investment and, and then we have, you know, nato, i'm saying, you know, you know, china is no different than russia. it's the same threatening landscape. i mean, it's very convoluted. i mean

russia is the other europe russia is the europe they don't want to be it's a state which they. they regard as. reactionary nationalistic religious patriotic. and so on all of things all of al use that they reject europe the european union wants to be unhistorical post national and so on and that's why russia is like a sort of guilty conscience for the way they have their own internal political purposes they have to. hate russia and say they hate russia and when i say internal political purposes i mean that in the strongest possible sense of the term because just as in the united states of america conservatives and others in. they basically conservatives in europe very often attacked as being russian 5th columnists in other words it serves a very straightforward political purpose which is to insult and discredit people who don't agree with various aspects of western foreign policy so for all those reasons i don't think that there's any prospect at least not in a short or even medium term of any improvement same same question to you. because it's you know this kind of thing but w

is, is a dictating what europe security policy should be. certainly they're trying to do it with energy here. i can see how it makes europe stronger. more dependency makes it more irrelevant. can you address that real quick? yeah, no, i agree, but deals of the see that us change is june a bit like now that you're talking about strategic calling me away from us. it's talking about european sovereign, the, i don't think it can be achieved, but only this week you have a saying, you know, the europeans need their own army, which that means it implies less relies and they don't less influenced by the u. s . i think and there are a lot, there are people who are noticing that this is a very bad take. but in order to have peace in europe, when do need to keep the americans are so close friends. but the most dominant relationship. well, i mean, maxine, could it be any other way? i mean it's very messianic. the with the, the american approach here. i mean, it's either had gemini or nothing i, i, i don't, don't see partnerships or they use that languag

you in gas prices in europe. he take new records with the german government warning people to prepare for a close to freezing month. meantime, the country energy regulators still the ground and operating license to the now fully completed russia node stream to gas pipeline.

of europe in the world. and you are right now we need to do to get the act together. somehow we need to understand what are the challenges that are coming up in the next decade and the next 20 years and 50 years down the road and be able to plan ahead. and of course, the idea is to do this in a kind of a multi lateral away. and in a way that preserves somehow peaceful cooperation between trading partners between associates in this case. okay, when we run out of time, we've run out of time, i guess a major question is, can europe survive the european union to be continued gentlemen? ok, many thanks to my guess in paris and in guilford in an thanks to our viewers for watching us here. at our t. c. next on remember prostate with ah, ah, also for eric room identify 2 types of freedom, freedom froman, freedom to. and while we all idealized the lesser achieving the former, the freedom from use and abuse is no small feat in this day and age. this is especially true for africa, which, for centuries has been exploite

, the necessity as moving forward in europe. europe is a very diverse country. so i think you can actually expect a lot of continuity and say there's a recognition that there's a need to change. the specific policies to deal with that change are not really clear. and everybody, for instance, thinks that this policy needed to deal with climate change to your, to emissions every exactly the mechanism by which that's going to be achieved. because it's going to be unpopular. i think putting up gasoline prices will bring up each in crisis. and you saw the reaction against that in france with the julie shawn. so there's a lot of debates in the coming weeks and months since the government is formed about exactly how that strategy is going to be implemented. you know, a mad one of the interesting things we look at the 2 major voting blocks in 2017. it was different now that we see that miracles blocking took a slight electoral defeat here. but i don't see that, you know, again we've, we've mentioned the u. s. in france and all that, it's so contentious, i mean, you woul

yes, together, europe is necessarily weak, precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way calls europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we're growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special paxton with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation and there is no way in which europe can form a hear all that. and i, and i jump in here, i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here, please hold that, that we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities name starting ah, join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess when the world politics spoke. business, i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm. oh, driven by dreamer shapes banks concur some of those with theirs sinks, we dare to ask a one. no, sir, no, not a joke. no, no. well dog, more real to what they should end up unit 73. 1 was a unique organi

trying to you expansion into the politic states, into eastern europe and into south east and europe. the you true me was a forced to be reckoned with. it was an exceptionally affluent elite club whose members, with the exception of greece, made an immense amount of money. however, the use of leadership, overstretched themselves, when they admitted voltage states, eastern europe, and se you're into the rights of the you, they never considered the consequences. actual consequences could have been countries such as poland and the states inside of the us. and now today we see a fossil situation in which a minority of members of the you holding so ransom the rest of the you visa, free russia, the a you. and i mean specifically the major countries from germany, but also italy and spain. and then also such as hungry and greece, want to have relations with russia. in fact, they want to go back to how relations were prior to the crew in kit, in february, 2014. the european union is handicapped. it is handicapped because of the behavior of poland and the baltic states. and i don't see how pare

yes, together, europe isn't necessarily weak precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way towards europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we are growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special on baxter with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation. and there is no way in which euro can form a hold that and i jump in here, i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here. please hold that, that we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities name starting ah ah, if you are expecting be of non government put me in the image or a seat. and i'm sorry, this is a wrong expectation be you will have to see that is non, you want me to go with julie entities. you've got to impose the democratic system on both on sunday the lord and then went to court order of course, after 40 years of fed interventionism by simply expanding an

a few you into 2007 that europe was talking about battle groups. that sounds quite threatening their battle groups, but nothing ever came of it. and it was a lot of pressure from, from washington to let it go here. what, what is different now? and as you've pointed out, i mean, if the nato countries don't want to pay their quote unquote, fair share, why do they want to spend money on $5000.00 troops and nobody know who's going to be training them and who's going to be commanding them? go ahead, michael. well, that's just the problem. where will the central command reside? who will be the, who will, what will be that structure so that she don't have a countries going going that are going their own way and acting, acting crazy. but i remember that ultimately they need a, some kind of ultimate leadership, which they all tend to look to the united states for, which is a bizarre, under the native structure. and i remember back during the bosnia days, all those countries were trying, trying to figure out what to do. they were getting involved, but it onl

europe. we need to re industrialize the come to a look. let me jump in here. look, let me just been real quick as we're almost out of time. i want to go to our guest in beijing to react to the taiwan issue because i want to everyone, i want this to be fair and balanced. go ahead. the issue of taiwan over the issue of taiwan is very simple. the u. s. has no intention and no capability of defining the island china actually went in, but they are, you know, as you recall from the generals, call to the chinese counterparts during trumps administration. at the end of it, it was the chinese were afraid that the u. s. is trying to goad them into doing some sort of military action against taiwan. so the u. s. the claim that, yes, see china is the terrible over. we've always said it. everyone has to rally around us american exceptional lives forever. so i want to be very care or not another on other down the u. s. idea. re conjuring the world. ok, gentlemen. very robust discussion here. i'm sure we're

is europe capable of defending itself in this competitive world? ah, the cross talking european security, i'm joined by my guess michael. my loop in washington. he is a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in london. we have under a walker. he is a political commentator in calmness and in edinburgh. we cross to john white, he is a writer and political commentator. i totally cross our roles and effect, that means he can jump at anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. let me go to michael person washington. let me quote, the high commissioner for foreign and security affairs. joseph moreau. quote, europe cannot afford to be a bystander in your world order that is mainly shaped by others. why? if he's saying this now that's been the case since 945. i mean that he's suddenly having to pip any. go ahead and d. c. yeah, i think that what went berella seeing is the reality of the, of the lack of us leadership and nato on the one hand. and so, and you have, and you have my crawl from of france who's also pushing for a and e, you army seeing

but all the problem with the europe sound. i was just goals, matt, and talking about the migration program, the market. so just mentioned, basically there were rumors, the blue question would use migrant back in the late ninety's. i mean, i read the border so i, i asked my readers to read the frost magazine, read the news. we all got from the early to thousands late night just they have been suspected shinkel try to do that. you know, she didn't do that, but they suspected him and 20 years later, something like that happened. but when off the european boast, unprecedented sanctions on billers against the industry against the enterprise, extract him and there was so, i mean, what do you expect? the problem is that the in the west right now, the government and the media they use, they use the creek, not for sexual use. very often. they mix politics and morals. like if you want to dig the sanctions or beller, bella russia, because that's basically bill, which is a translation or the one why russia into bill or language. so if you

well, you know, we need good relations. russia with stability, europe. we need to stay with the americans. so that kind of revolution policy of a demon reverse with gal schroeder because sort of have got some fresh ideas that that's not gonna happen. i mean, the game, you know, whoever makes me am just going to be yeah, yeah let's, let's just been an expert in line speaking in the next person like you and i have talked at great length about how media oaker europe's political class is. i think the anglo merkel is the queen, mother of the mediocrity that we see in the, of the political class. go ahead. if you want me to cut the long story short what i dislike about what was the worst thing about her? she is a real alter liberal. she sticks to that very georgian, that explains all of her favorites. i mean, the look at the political scene in germany when she came to borrowing 2005, no one could imagine that radical parties would be. she was a 2 party system where the liberals between them, you know, the christian democrats at social numbers. it looked like i

they already cost europe, at least $100000000.00 euros. they want to post more because they keep exchanging these sanctions and during your meetings with the buy them the she, she can keep saying that sanctions need to stay. why should something that doesn't produce and you pointed to, why should state, you know, and also i think she played a very negative role. you know, i represent, you're told that i joined your when trump warning tonight, the states as given, you know, the german news, right? you know, merkel became a sort of leader of the free world because she was so ideal or you are and now. 2 when you read the same way though she spent for mental need her, she wants to have no store seemed to. she had been, we know by them is the lead or the so i don't just croy is just dismissal people. even those who serve that your job, but i would contest would be my had to say, you know, this can kind of purity your i think that disc complete mediocrity all over the place. muddling through and missed opportunities left and right and create and

by allowing migrants illegal migrants to enter europe. that serves as a pretext for increasing his presence in the east. and what has happened? well, just in the last few days, pater, british soldiers have been dispatched to poland to advise the polish government on how to secure its order. well, that's quite laughable for a number of reasons. one of the pizza is this, that the british states doesn't see fit to dispatch a british soldiers to nobody, to defend britons bold as against illegal migrants who i trust in being those channel on a daily basis. indeed, only a few days ago, 1000 illegal migrants entered on one day alone. yeah. the so tension between the european union and embarrass, lexi really shows the, the, the wanting immigration policy of the european union. because as marcus is pointed out, here is a process is basically just dropped the bone because, you know, they're not particularly happy with the holes in the 1st place right now for a lot of other internal union issues here. so it really kind of puts them in a bind and the

and then you have a europe that is completely isolated from the world. now russian go ahead. 30 isolated. well, because they are, the geopolitical forces have very dramatically deteriorated, but where there is china and china and russia and now, oh certainly, strategic allies. so any conflict that's going to take place in europe. good, very well. be in a 2nd from opening up by china. china is that it will help a anyway, and therefore, you know, they'll be good. they'll be a conflict over taiwan. and then what he's like is the was going to do. and so it's a huge gap stopping humiliation for the web. so it's a very serious hands on that. no. because i think it's correctly. i want to make my guess in london in budapest worth watching here next time. remember? ah, i thought the rival guy would go through, go buy you reduce the price now. well, reduce the lower that's under cutting, but what's good for food market? that's not good for the global economy. was diagnosed with cancer in 2000 when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable. i knew i had to make

his relationship with europe is that even possible right now and what kind of relation could it be. well you are absolutely right 2 it is exactly. restoration the hope of a restoration of the status quo and tape. where they can come back because it is a really difficult question because it will depend on what this biden team will want to do and how the europeans will react to it because if the biden team will want to remind you the fights in the middle east if it wants to. continue with its policies in the ukraine the ones that which were. conducted by the obama people which was antagonizing russia and again through nato expansion and i can i think russia that i think the europeans may well look back on the trunk years as being not raise such bad for all i mean the game drunk was a very rude disruptive sort of person on the other hand they weren't all that bad and he didn't make that any demands on the european into i mean a bubble he wasn't asking them to getting involved in you was and that's what's the problem folks europe that the united states is going to solve all sorts of new

yes, together, europe is necessarily weak, precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way towards europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special on baxter with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation. and there is no way in which euro can form a hold that i jump in here. i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here, please hold that, that we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities name starting ah with imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what are the chapters cold, gun violence, school shootings, homelessness? first, it was my job and then it was my family. didn't was my savings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs. i look for everything i can to make this pass and i e

isn't europe e.u. isn't. it is the new there's also independent european strikes and their relations are with russia a very very different group really should jet some very hostile unchecked mistakes some very core relationships is not so not not so this is something that i would love rove is always. really wants to strengthen the electoral relations with our european european sites that's that is our priority update that is what they say to . me. russia has been criticized for having for seeking by a lot of relationship with independent states because the criticism is the are trying to divide the e.u. but the e.u. is already divided i don't understand why you have to blame it on russia let me go to luke here look i mean i think the way i look at it you know i very pragmatic i'm a conservative and the way i look at is it just one big headache you don't want to negotiate you don't want to have good relations you don't want to have a good neighborhood well defined here we don't have to do it there are other pla

it's not going to, it doesn't like unified europe, it's never like unified europe. i'm a historian, as much as a political scientist, and i know in the 1950s that nikita khrushchev on said to american leaders what the last thing we want is a strong europe. now i would, i would disagree with my counterpart, thereby saying that you may be dysfunction on security issues. but it is a powerful economic lock. it does represent the interest of millions and in that economic power, it would seem to me that it would benefit russia to have better relations with the you. but i think for a lot of reasons, particularly president security concerns on his own power. he doesn't want that relations because the e u is also a normative power, which pushes back against the suppression of dissidence and russia pushes back against the forcible annexation of the crimea. so for those reasons, i think russia doesn't want necessarily good relations with the new and needs to present the you as an enemy to russia. so in that sense, i think they will continue to try and pick a pick a part the yo

s, which doesn't prioritize europe. so if it's something more than the making and i don't know if i did a biden will be different from it through the obsession with child. but he was the source of all evil. it's called national interest here, georgia, me kind of choice words coming from the branch manager. but i can quote, there's been lying duplicity made here marie's thrust. didn't can. this will not do well. what are you going to do about it? you? the french died themselves to, to do nato and to the united states. what leverage did they have 0 george? that's why they were notified. her, their feelings well cares. it's nato. we run it. and when we think it's relevant, it's been for and if it's not relevant, it's not report. okay. you see, i mean, i think it's almost like child's play. the see the french reaction. they mean all this, you know? no, you, you made the bed together and you slept in it. go ahead george. yeah, yes. that's, that's exactly right. and where are you? what ideally should happen now is france, ger

yeah, george was describing and then on a line movement in europe should become on a line between europe, russia, china, and the united states on the other side. and he also hit on the key point of what the real serious most important issue in the united states is that the military spending is gobbling up such a big part of the u. s. busy g d, p and it's been priming the american people of basic necessities and threatening the world. that is what has to change. that is the most important problem in the world right now. the u. s. over spending and relying on the military for their economy, they need to diversify their perfect ways. and this program, ok, we've run out of time gentlemen. many thanks to my guess in budapest and didn't sydney. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at our to see you next time and remember cross talk roles. ah ah man across the board of the 3rd to focus bittman duvall here got me. oh, yeah. oh. oh i . oh, god. give me . ah, i understand i, i the are not about restricting, but that's actually a really good thing because the great thing about it being av

early decades on the soviet union because we wanted to remain europe. now, at least, you know, you know, you're in all my years and i have lived in russia all my life few years. i've never, i've never called the kid just said the sub dives. well, i mean the, after what happened that, the limping game, but you will not see them, but you could no show the flag even the most like optimistic people are saying, oh look, these are the, you know, this is really get out of camp because his job yes, but the general, russia, you the culture and easy you will be in country and one so much to be where the europe but all the problem is that europe sound, i was just roles map and talking about the migration program, the market. so just mentioned, basically there were rumors, the blue question go, would use migrant back in the late ninety's. i mean, i read the border so i, i asked my readers to they read the frost magazine, read the news. we all got from the early to thousands late night just they have been suspected shinkel try to do that. you know, she didn't do tha

well, because that would strengthen the sobs in europe. and that was, strengthen russia, which was always the goal. why, why that was so keen on breaking up yugoslavia because they were so you just love it as russians, little brother in europe so that that's why they've always been attended to a cross any of aspirations because for russia, the bonus of principles there ago that the end of the day, we covered 2 major topics to ukraine in serbia and, and as far as the west concerned, they don't care about either as long as it's only a defeat for russia. that's is their money. it's very colonial, isn't it? i gentlemen, that's all the time we have on, i think my guess in budapest and in the us know, and i think our viewers are watching us here at ortiz. see, and it's time remember across ah ah no, no, no, no, no, no, but they did a valuable. mm hm. helping my middle now i own my hit up my laptop that has a nickel. i'm fine. you can thought no, well i'm happy to be a well, i'm really happy to lation strobe with a ah, yes, that's the message com

russia russia russia russia and europe. yeah and i one we all have to wonder on this on this program where that's going to lead what does mean what does it mean a successful policy that's a big question you're going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on ukraine state with our. what the fundamentalists are you know borders just lying to nationalities. as a word we don't have with the leaders of the black sea the whole world needs to be . judging. coming crisis of this sentence. we can do better we should know better. everyone is contributing a way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges quickly the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. the swarms of them so most. of us who was before. much of those who heard the preview. we were going to. move. move. move show didn't look beautiful the militants who looked good. muslim also these girls will giv

to understand how much gas europe needs in the future. and then, and in that case, we can then decide how much gas goes through the turkish stream. that's what the pipeline through the black sea is called, how much gas we can send through our north stream pipelines and to ukraine as well . but mr. poo general answer to that was yes, russia is ready to maintain its ukrainian transit. besides this, mr. poo went on to talk about something that doesn't really have to do with energy, but this is something that the moderator has, the russian leader that was about rush relations with washington and about arms security. mister bruton said that russia is ready to talk with washington ready for talks with washington on the revival of possibly some of the old treaties that washington abandoned under donald trump, under the previous cedars as well. or it's ready to hammer out new agreements, which is very important for international security is stability. but mister, put this message has been the same all the time. we have only been responding to tha

this is dictating what europe security policy should be. certainly they're trying to do with energy here. i can see how it makes europe stronger. more dependency makes it more irrelevant. can you address that real quick? yeah, no, i agree, but change in june a bit. now that you're talking about strategic me away from the us, talking about european foreign. i don't think it can be achieved, but the only way you have a problem saying, you know, they have their own army, which then means it implies less relies nato less influenced by the u. s. i think there are a lot of people who are noticing that it is a very to take but in order to have peace in europe, we do need a keep. the americans have close friends, but the not the dominant relationship. well, i mean, maxine, could it be any other way? i mean it's very messianic that with the, the american approach here, i mean it's either had gemini or nothing. i, i, i don't don't see partnerships or they use that language all the time. but it's not a partnership of equals. it is, it's a hedge, a mon

yes. together, europe is necessarily weak, precisely because we use the word europe, but it doesn't really mean anything. and the consequence of this is that the united states can behave in the most bizarre way towards europe, ignoring not, not in telling them by the way where we growing from afghanistan. not even telling them by the way we're making a special on baxter with australia and the united kingdom. so the humiliation pied on the humiliation. and there is no way in which euro can form a hold that and i jump in here, i'm going to hold, i'm gonna jump in here. please hold that thought we're going to go to a hard break. and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion on european securities names are going ah the lack of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself . we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with a special mechanism for that. it's called the live settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life in

in europe. ok. but then again, when you shifted to the east, there's a top prosy versus democracy argument called clack. of things that doesn't make any sense whatsoever. it's only focused on europe at this point in time. go ahead. well, the night the states use the same argument against china. i mean it's, it's terrible. in the last few decades, china has been many times with japan. you know, there was a trail april, some meeting on the president's own japan, south korea and china just presently. things seem to be moving up, you know, looking up and now they're like, stay, success, or chinese. so gratian in south china, sea or chinese, so abreast of east china sea. and they even don't look at the joke, different names that actually seems close to china when you are right. you know, i think that the problem is much deeper than just for in 40. see all the different systems use certain frame. yes. so the weaknesses of the nation is that the control, the not is used germans pension for collectivism

as a blowback effect on europe through the massive migration flows but just going back to the interest of the national interest well what crumbly is did is he identified a specific american national interest which was to rebuild the american industrial economy i mean whether it's feasible or not is a different issue but that was nonetheless his agenda that america should become once again an industrial powerhouse as it was back in the 1950 s. and sixty's and for that he wanted to shift. america's manufacturing industry back to the united states biden has identified anything of that nature when whenever he talks about america's national interest he teach talking about values rather use has nothing to do with national interest i mean they just. becomes of the justification for pointless interventionist wars you know or it or it's a budget line print diversity but again that still addressing the domestic audience here you know when mark won it one of the things that i find very interesting is that i look at the obama administration's foreign policy with the exception of iran which we'll t
