9:33 pm
total disregard for the laws of war, and now it must become about accountability. it not only shows the failure of deconfliction measures. it shows the futility of these measures in a war fought with no rules. that these attacks on humanitarian workers are allowed to happen is a political choice. israel faces no political cost. instead, its allies enable this brutality with impunity and provide even more. weapons that mame and kill civilians indiscriminately. the senior hammaus representative in lebanon has slammed is really atrocities in the gaza strip, of calling on palestinians escalate acts of resistance against the regime. a proof of the unity and cohesion of our people around the option of resistance as a only legitimate means for liberation and return. and call for

9:36 pm
move towards a ceasefire, because they want to uh end palestine, and major step in doing that is annexing gaza, and in order to do... that they have to destroy the people of gaza or drive them out into egypt into refugee camps as was done uh 75 years ago and many of those people have been unable, most of those people have been unable to return despite the uh international guarantee that that they can, but israel is not has never been a a reasonable partner for in so-called negotiations which are ridiculous and it's not a reasonable partner now in looking for a cease fire because as a cease fire is not its goal. israel knows that whatever it wants to do, the united states will back it financially and diplomatically and militarily. this is a policy of the united states that has been ongoing for decades that makes no sense. the united states is coming down again on the wrong side of history and
9:37 pm

9:40 pm
the types of targets that have been hit, you're looking at for example the hafa airport, you're looking at the chemical factory that has... been hit in am even the port itself has been targeted, this obviously shows the ability for the drones or munitions to travel this long distance. hit these targets, which is roughly 700 kilometers away from iraq, showing the danger that opposes israel as it continues its genocidal aggression. well, yemen has also taken on the task of targeting israely linked vessels in the red sea and also the gulf of aiden. the us organized task force which it called operation prosperity garden, of which you can see with their logo some of the vessels uh that is comprised of over 20 countries, including the uk to counter yemen. yemen's reason. stop the genocidal war, lift the siege, and to allow aid into the bessieg trip. it has carried out over 80 attacks,

9:50 pm
military presence towards the russian borders. criticism comes as the us-let alliance is considering more military aid for ukraine. earlier we discussed the topic in our news review program. let's listen to what our guests had to say. smokesman says the relations between russia and the nato military alliance has reached a level of quote direct confrontation. dimitri peskov said the members of the us led alliance are already in continuous movement towards russia's borders through their finland and sweden in the past year, nato has been helping ukraine with advanced weapons, training and intelligence. the military blocks members are now discussing plans for
9:51 pm
more than $100 million of further military aid for kiev. ukraine has also been seeking to join nato in recent years, which could escalate the tensions between russia and the west to even higher level. don dabar is radio host and journalist at cpr news, joining us from assaning new york. we also have. simmons an independent researcher and author joining us from upsala, sweden. welcome to you both. um, i'll start with you first, don debar. 100 million dollars. i don't know if that's a lot or maybe it's not a lot, but it does sound like lot for a commitment to perhaps be pondering there by nato to give to ukraine. what are your thoughts on that? depends on what you're measuring it against the start with what was russia's annual military budget, this big threat to world. prior to this war that began in earnest in february of 2022, $65 billion a year, that there's
9:52 pm
actually no country in the world that has a budget of more than $100 billion a year for their military except the us and china. china is about 250 billion for its entire military to protect one and a half billion people, so from that measure a billion $100 billion as an awful lot of money. um, let's look at it, however, from the cost to the people that are paying it in the united states and presumably in the eu, with $100 billion dollars, you could solve the homeless problem in the united states entirely, there'd be no more homelessness in the united states rather than tens of thousands of people living in the streets in every major city, you could solve the hunger problem in the entire world for five years with $100 billion dollars, 9 million people a year. die of starvation in the world every year, you could solve that problem, so it's a lot of money, indeed uh, it's quite, i shouldn't say surprising greg
9:53 pm
simmons, but it's somewhat, i don't know, what to call it, to say that nato has done this before trump comes comes on board, i mean we're looking at eight months now, if that were to happen, and between now and e months from now, including april, lot of things could happen when it comes to nato and russia, given this... aid were to happen or not, we're still looking at the tensions there that keep ratcheting up, what type of confrontations do you for see or where do you see this going in terms of the military aspect of it? well, i think the main problem is the level of unpredictability, and the unpredictability comes from the collective west, because what you have here is a bunch of med. politicians at best who have bruised egos, they predicted that russia would be defeated, that ukraine would win, they've done everything to try and do that, yet this
9:54 pm
is not the case, so there, it seems their egos are worth more than a major military confrontation that nato initiates with russia, so this level of emotional... investment in it from them makes it very unpredictable, the predictability comes from russia, which has been uh to date, i'd say rather restrained uh and very cautious about these constant provocations uh which have been used to try and irritate russia. all right, thank you very much. let me thank our guest don davar, radio host and journalist at cpr news and also greg simmonster independent researcher. researcher and author. thank you to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. crisis devastating wars,
