the, there's also this today, and this is another developing story that we're following. as we begin this newscast, russian president put in his once again, meeting with his chinese counterpart present and g. and in this case, you know, you know, the expression of picture is worth a 1000 words. well then we've got 2000 words. look at this, look at this, look at the difference between a she with that called fish hand cake offered to mac, cronan, france. and now the real genuine embrace that's offered to put and it's like 2 completely different situations. and it says so much that this relationship seems to be blossoming between mr. put and then mr said, wow. when he was asked to go to france, it was almost like the french president had all this revelry and he has bands ready to go. and then he put his arm around them and then he, he stroked him on the back a couple times and she has this expression like, yeah, well whatever, but very different with, with put and then i just think that says something. i'm not trying to be a body language expert here,

but let me bring manila and what did you see as you looked at these pictures? and obviously as you look some of the video that's been coming in from beijing. yeah, rick, i can't help but laugh. i mean, you could it contrast to no images any more? i mean, we discussed that that handshake with my crone when it happened and, and i kind of compared it to when a woman is on a, on a date with a my chrome date, it seems like it was a date that the parents forced them to go on and present and she didn't want to be there and was like, all right, i'm just doing this to satisfy my parents because they want me to be here with me. these 2 are like they, they just seemed happy to be together. i mean, it was the body language is so evident, you don't need to be an expert wreck, you can see, or, i mean, you literally have to be blind and not be able to see that these to see eye to eye and have mutual respect. and there's a geo political application and all of this, and we're going to be speaking with the kids right now. coming up later in this

newscast about that i want to ship now to something else. something will happen. i'm gonna take you back to 18. 6418. 64. you remember what was going on? the u. s. was in the middle of a civil war. was incredibly horrible time. things like really bleak for the country . thousands of soldiers were diag, daily and battles. right. and to them, especially $5000.00 gettysburg, the country was ripping itself apart. most people were, of course, critical of washington critical of the president at the time. but there was an election coming up. so what do you do? i mean, city war, thousands dead bodies on the streets. the president at the time could have easily said, forget the election. we can't have an election. let's just call marshal law. it's not a good time for it. let me just declare the martial law thing. postpone or cancel the election, but that's not what happened. if you know your history, this country's never missed an election. that's not what happened. the president decided to go ahead and have the election, and he won barely by just

a little bit. right. that president was abraham lincoln. the guy he'd be to, if you remember, was general mcclendon abraham lincoln. let's compare that to what's going on right now. and ukraine. a country i'm told that as an american i have to defend if i believe in standing up for democracy. right. it too is involved right now in a war, much like we were. it too is facing an election in a matter of days. and what are we finding out or finding out creating and president, motivator. soleski is no abraham lincoln. and neither of the people in washington who have chosen to back him as an on elected leader say that again on, on elected leaders. zalinski is turman officer supposed to and may 20th. it was not going to and which means the people of ukraine will not get to decide who is going to lead them. and those who are,

who we are told are defending democracy. we are then being lied to, right, that's not if he's not going to be elected and that they don't have free elections . it's not of the mark or say or am i crazy. now what do you think that our. 1 government would go there right about now and say, hey, dude, sorry, mean, go to kia, tell zalinski, do you have to hold an election? we can't back you. if you in keep sending you money, if you don't have an election. i mean, that's your, that's what you think we would to right. well guess what? mr. guitar player, secretary of state anthony, blinking did slide a keys. he didn't meet with zelinski. and besides playing guitars, what did he tell them? he told them essentially it's okay. it's okay if it's not a democracy, as long as you promised at some point in the future that you will become a democracy. and we're going to help you do it here to listen for yourself. today, i'm here and keith, to speak about ukraine strategic success. and to set out how,

with our support, ukrainian people can and will achieve their vision for the future. a free process for secure democracy, fully integrated into the outline of community, fully in control of its own destiny. to hear that, to hear that i feel sure of a free democracy. i feel sure of that means not. now in the future, you'll have a free demo. we've spent a $175000000.00 on a country that isn't a democracy, them. in other words, they're not of the mark receive and that's what he's saying. but they will be and the us state department will decide how they get there. by the way, shouldn't ukrainian people be asking themselves at this point? why is this dude coming from washington to my country? the, tell me how the future of my government will be decided. think about that. just think for a minute about that. i think it's played on cnn

a 1000000 times. i bet they've never asked the question. i mean, can you say meddling, you know, that term meddling, that we hear so much? isn't that meddling? by the way, i wanna make sure i'm not saying something isn't, isn't true here. so i went back and i checked. i went to the chatham house, it's a good place to check political information to check the actual legal definition of a democracy. and i put in democracy, you crate. here's what i found. this is a direct quote. let, let me pull it up for you. victor. put that up so, so people can see it. it's a direct quote i found on the chat amounts ukraine. it writes, does not, it does not currently meet the criteria for electoral democracy or liberal democracy as these terms are used in political science because it is under martial law and cannot hold the elections. so all you gotta do is call a martial law, and then you can say, sorry, we're not going to have an election. and then according to the chatham l, sorry, you're not in your model. democracy, so don't call yourself a democracy. so there you go. and how long can they remain a not democracy,

i guess is long and until the elected lead on elected leader, i should say, decides to fit or to lift the martial law and hold the elections. as abraham lincoln would say, isn't that a fine kettle of fish? manila, that's what lincoln would say. what do you say? hello rick, we don't have to go as far back as lincoln. we can go back to just 1944. the us was in the throes, the middle of world war 2, and we still held inflection, f d r was reelected, right? during the middle of world war 2. if you truly are a democracy and if you have a constitution, 1st of all, ukraine has a constitution, but it gets altered all the time. so i don't know that it's necessarily a real constitution, but this is, shouldn't be an outrage. i think to the ukrainian people, i mean, i think they a lot of, from what i understand, a lot of people are actually tired of their rhetoric coming from kia these days.

and they would love to have an election, but instead they have be the keeper of the key of government, which is anthony blinking, that's in town. and getting this not so impromptu rock concert by you know, the secretary of state. this is not in problem 2 by the way, because this is evidenced by the spam cameras being invited to his. yeah. show yeah . was completely blown down. is tasteful, he was the thousands of ukrainians are dying. he was just that a bar decided to play some music while this war was going right. it just, it's about the cameras were there, right. it's bad form. it's bad optics. i mean cameras are no cameras. by the way, speaking of that guy blinking, blinking his predecessors back in the news. hillary clinton is out there and she's presenting herself now as an expert on the middle east while defending israel and describing something most of middle east experts on both sides say it's simply not true. but here she is with respect to the middle east and they don't know that um

under the uh uh they bringing together the israel leaves and the palestinians. um by my husband the then it's really a prime minister, a hood brock. the then head of the palestinian liberation organization, then the power steering authority, yasser arafat as an offer was made uh to the palestinians for a state on you know, 96 percent of the existing territory occupied by the palestinians with 4 percent of israel to be given to reach a 100 percent of the amount of territory that um was uh, hoped for. and this offer was made. and if the yasser arafat had accepted it, there would have been a palestinian state now for about 24 years. so one of the great tragedies of history, i am amazing, my husbands, amazing. and if those damn palestinians are just listen to this, they would be the happiest people in the world right now. or most experts say,

she's full of crap. and by the way, uh also when she calls herself a middle is middle east experts, a lot of people would. busy differ vanilla. oh yeah, this lady has got a lot of gall to speak about this stuff. the lady that destroyed libya and condemned it to this current, open air slave market. she so glib in her view of young people. but it really, it couldn't be because young people had him directly twice, rejected her the 1st time in the primaries against obama. and then she failed to garner youth support against bernie sanders and 80 something year old man. and you know, young people yeah. aren't having what she's selling the car. she's going to be mean and cruel to young people. she hates young people. yeah, no, it's funny that this guy, i'm glad you brought that out because i don't think i made that clear enough that the reason what she's talking about when she made that comment is she's essentially saying they're dumb. they don't get it. they don't understand what's going on and

she is an older wiser. better send an elder. she's going to tell them the truth. what, in fact, that's not the truth, that the palestinians at that point decided they didn't want to take the bill. they did take the bill, it was being negotiated when things got out of control after that. but you didn't mention that when she was mentioning her little story there about her and her husband. oh, i mean we, we've, we've actually heard the former, so we can call him the beltway inside or of all times the big new version sky, actually say in the year 2002 actually say, but the united states had completely a band in peace negotiations by that, you know, by the time clinton was in office, we know that the camp david talks in the year 2000 were kind of a sham. um, it was just therefore sho, nothing has ever really stuck from the oslo accords that were ratified in dc. in 1993 and then also to ratified in top of egypt. no. 1995. none of that ever stopped

and you could you can, you can, but yeah, the stories keep coming out there in that same manner and it looks. and i hate to say it, but it looks like talking points from apax. i mean that's just, it is. and this is a woman who is obviously taking a lot of their money. truth be what it is. thanks so much. we appreciate it. manila latter button is in china being received at the invitation of president g, and we're going to show you how a picture can be worth a couple 1000 words k, j. know as a journalist is a specialist on the asia pacific region is going to do a little a body language exercise with us. when we come back, he's really good at it to don't go away. the, the checking it reminds me that i'm late for very important date, which means it's time to slip down the rabbit hole in into a world of russian time. the

replacement store for your child to be 0, putting it up because of packets umbrella. and then moving some quotes, system of success syndrome. i know that, but it is ok to put a you on your voicemail. i'm just proposing it tim actually moved from when you click this and your cell phone is fairly for the real thing. but all in unity contributing, does it weigh as little as what will the with the city to live they wouldn't do would be and if i give the facility, we will see that such a guy would go on the opposite venue farm my phone. i really look at the typical upload. you should be finishing it for 5 days. it'll be

over here to show tomorrow in the group. let me put some my to them. i did. it was in the initiative for 5 years. i've added to the form unless you have no one visits and you have ne of suffering, and my son is the 4th. i need to switch it the the the doesn't back. i'm rick sanchez. this is direct impact. that's dr. k j now k j is an expert on all things related to the asia pacific region. and uh, let me set this up for you. recently president, she was invited to france and the president crowd looked like a get a school girl at a party trying to slap him on the back. well, she appeared to give him kind of

a cold fish and shake like to stop it. this is embarrassing. let's look at the 2 images. once again, the ones i showed manila a little while ago, i want to get, i want to get a reaction of this or you see i'm with macro w. i look at them. i mean, it doesn't even look like what's in now, i'm a chrome is padding on the back and everything. and then the other picture, it's actually she who's been putting, putting on the back and seems very engaged. i mean, these 2 guys look like they're going to go out and buy furniture and share an apartment or something. uh, what's going on. uh, what's going on with this relationship that seems extremely more cordial and more friendly every time i see it. and with every time these 2 guys made between putting and she age i well, you know, it's the 43rd time. they're amazing. so of course, you know, they've had some time to build a relationship, but absolutely, you're right. it is very, very cordial. you can see the spontaneity, the ones, the real affection, and this is what they've been highlighting that this really truly

a relationship of deep friendship amity cooperation when, when it's cetera. but i think the other dimension of this and, you know, there's the symbolism involved, you know, full pageantry, 21 god. it's the 1st meeting after the election. and if we follow the relationship our dime, you know, your 1st is always important right after she likes and the 1st person he met the starting us out. and i really our conversation like these 2 guys are dating or something like, well, i mean they're framing is that they have modeled a new or major country relation. yes. and that pos as a strategic dimension, it has a military dimension of. busy as it has economic tre, tech, and of course, you know, he brought all his senior officials to energy, economy, finance, but also then you minister of defense andre. those soft and the former minister of

defense circuit show. well, i think there's so symbolism that why does china need russia the china needs russia because they share a 4000 kilometer. uh, but. busy uh and because uh the us is essentially a encircling china in order to take it down to containers and taking that ticket down. in originally the neil con plan was that russia would be an appetizer on the way to the main dish, which was china. but instead of russia or run through the proxy, when in ukraine turned out to be, as the french say, the black device, the stalls. and there's been a lot of, you know, flounder is being served on that. on that serving. does russia need china for the same reason the china needs russia of russia and china has

a kind of natural synergy? i mean, as i pointed out, the neighbors, they share a border, but also china has the industrial capacity, the technological development. russia has the strategic, the resource and the military capacity. and so it's kind of a match that fits really, really well. what, but the other piece is, and this is, i think, really important is the china is sending a message to the united states. remember, the us understand that it cannot defeat it, cannot roll over russia the way that he did originally planned to they thought it was going to be a cake walk. yeah, hold for a gas station mask or anything as a nation. they couldn't do that because of china's support largely in the economic trade field. and so their message to china is we can't beat russia unless you help us out. we need you to, we couldn't russia so,

so we can defeat it and pivot to attack you. so, so, and if we look at china and russia together kind of with a, as a, as a, as a uni centric uh, geo political force. where then does india and iran and south africa and brazil for example, fall into that equation. well, you know, so the, they are the trade block, right? yeah, and chuck just approach is to the next the world through trade, through economies, their approach is to build not to but they want to build out relations connect so that we can all live. so they can all do develop so we can all have a wind, you know, cooperation, a good outcomes for everybody. and that's a post to the us approach, which is the ball and to capture. yeah, to what do you think? so, i mean, let's put ourselves in the shoes of a washington analyst or somebody in the state department right now,

and they're looking at this conversation that kids right now and rick sanchez are having and they're scratching their head and they're saying, what do we do? i mean, because, you know, the ship has left the port, right. it's already formed. this relationship between china and russia is blossoming. the other countries are coming on board. they're ignoring our calls and hanging out with the new good looking guy as a new, a good looking go in, in the college campus. how do we fight it? or do we join it or what the hell do we do? j. j? well, you can see that they meet that response as being to threaten right. so they have said to china, you know, you need to stop helping out russia or else and they have, you threatened, you know, of sanctions. they say we, you know, you don't want to find out what we're going to do, blinking says, don't bet against the united states. and she is response to this pressure of, of, you know, breaking or weakening russia is to invite to 10 for full state honors. but here's,

here's what you just said. now i'm sorry for interrupting, but it makes me think a in the united states telling china that if it becomes friends with russia, we're going to get really mad at you. you're not allowed to have russia as a friend, and remember our economic power. well, here's the problem with that. china is about to become economically more powerful than the united states if they're not already. now let's flip that in the united states. as to russia, you're not allowed to be friends with russia. pardon me, with china, which is what they're saying. well, russia has more nuclear warheads than we do. so in both, in both, in both cases you're arguing you're trying to poke a barrier that could not just like you were scratched you, but could devour you. absolutely. and so that's the, you know, unbridled rationality of this ruling and imperial neil con plus,

they just don't seem to understand, they don't seem to understand the score. or they think that 1st they did a reverse kissinger and that they pushed china and russia together. and now they think they can pull the kissinger again, separate them again. it's not going to happen. but they seem really, really explain that. explain that. to me, that's interesting of whole kissinger. you call it where we actually brought these 2 countries together. i thought you meant because, you know, we're so mean to them that eventually they found a friendship in, in each other. is that what you're mean? or do you mean something else? well, you know, going back to kissinger, remember the us strategically split china away from the ussr or strategic reasons. and they were successful in that. and for decades, the ussr and china, p r c, we not on speaking terms, actually had to, you know, small border war and, and then what has happened in the blinking and vitamin ministration is they've

essentially pushed china and russia together to be the best of all possible, uh no, allies and companions to each other. it's extraordinary. it's the most foolish thing you could do if you were thinking joe. strategically, final question apparently put in yesterday, came out and said that he's willing to abide by an accord or a truce, or an agreement that is brokered by china. this is the same. vladimir putin who's basically told europeans what i'm not gonna listen to you guys. i don't want you to have credibility with me, but he's saying if china sits them down with the ukrainians, go willing to abide by whatever they come up with. that's a hell of a thing for him to say, what's the significance to you of that? well, i mean, 1st it shows that china and russia have a good relationship. russia certainly trust china to be a, you know,

a mutual broker in p. still remember, try and also has good relations with ukraine in they, you know, prior to the war they were very, very close. and so i think, you know, china has credibility, they've already put forth a 12 point plan for, you know, resolving the conflict. and that plan is something that russia can get behind. it talks about sovereignty, but so talks about mutual security, and that's what russia is looking for. well, listen to those of us who i think are the vast majority of the people in the world . we're looking for a peaceful solution. are gratified to hear that there's a, you know, something that could be forthcoming if the china and the russians and the koreans were to sit down and, and never before had the ukrainians needed to sit down more than they do. now. if you've been reading and seeing what's going on right now, in that, in that conflict said you're, you're always such a pleasure to talk to thank you so much for sharing your time with us. thank you.

always a pleasure. that's our show. remember to always look inside or outside your box and don't just live there though. truths don't live in boxes, neither should way. i'm rick sanchez and we'll see you again next time on direct impact. the the the

the blue one? no, no, not. the blue not put to most of the location of the unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world. what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short and build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had every now

through you know, to production with it. so it gives you the great deal to you suddenly little as you keep a move model. uh, mazda thought this minute nguyen from the, from the sale. i don't understand. i wish to know about doing so need. i know you gave him some more or less than a j o i had to put on with this kind of them of the a party bill because you cannot push the couch. so that's good to go. if you want the fondest to should buy a new on it on site gets animal 7 won't go to the yo, yo know,

on the ticket, but i got the the russian states never. i started as soon as the most sense community invest ingles, all sense set up the same assistance. let's do the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the rush was putting s r t. suppose next, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the services for the question, did you say they requested the

video of alleged to abuse by an officer? today, the sheriff's deputy and columbia, south carolina, forcibly removed his student from a classroom at spring valley high school. i saw him just talked to her sprained her and initially, you know, i didn't think is a problem because i knew that she was just, is quite a student in the class. someone looks the police officer and says, here is law enforcement that is worse. clearly attacking, abusing power and other than others besides, this is what's wrong with the poorly be on discipline. black children, he was there, enforcing a law the meeting the crime to quote, disturb schools in any way. that means any disturbance that any kids causes and school is huge and forces never predict but necessary. a tops people are never gonna change them out. and so people will never change their minds about the video

. they think i was wrong, and that's it. the best for the city of car, so we have no plans of taking caught off today. so i then plug me a purging, says russia is being forced to create to securities are on its board is made constantly printing shelling of civilian areas during a press conference in the chinese city of hobbin. also we do not wish harm to the civilians. that's come, asked us that is precisely what is there any sticking sticks to try and contend with the massive complexity that such a situation presents is where i launches its defense at the international court of justice. where so fast because it keeps the middle eastern states of genocide on the closing $35000.00.
