[00:05:00] Shocking footage from surveillance cameras of a Saudi Arabian airport. The video
[00:05:04] was published by Al-Arabiya TV channel. As a result of the strike, more than
[00:05:07] 300 people were injured. Another 12 people died. This attack was on
[00:05:11] Saturday. Responsibility for it was claimed by the Houthis. On Sunday there was another
[00:05:15] strike. According to media reports, rockets hit the third and fourth
[00:05:18] terminals. After that, part of the roof collapsed on people. I
[00:05:21] remind you that Yemeni Houthis declared Saudi Arabian airports
[00:05:25] legitimate targets for strikes. Well, now, judging by the video
[00:05:29] coming from Yemen, the Houthis are moving quite quickly
[00:05:32] towards the Red Sea coast, capturing
[00:05:35] cities, equipment and prisoners. US President
[00:05:38] Donald Trump did not rule out that the United States could join it.
[00:06:13] the implementation of the Mikan agreement. An attack on one of the three countries
[00:06:16] is considered an attack on all participants. The parties
[00:06:19] agreed on the deployment of agreed military forces
[00:06:22] and means on the territory of the Kingdom. Turkey already
[00:06:26] provides Saudi Arabia with defensive and technical
[00:06:29] assistance, including air defense systems,
[00:06:32] unmanned aerial vehicles, intelligence data and
[00:06:35] logistical support. The Yemeni
[00:06:38] war is gradually linked to a broader confrontation around
[00:06:42] Iran. For Washington, what is happening opens up new
[00:06:45] opportunities to influence Tehran. The US
[00:06:49] supports Saudi Arabia and is interested in protecting
[00:06:52] international shipping. At the same time, Washington strives not
[00:06:56] to allow the conflict to get out of control. Bab el-Mandeb
[00:06:59] gives the war significance far beyond
[00:07:02] Yemen. Through this strait passes the sea route between the Red
[00:07:06] Sea and the Suez Canal, connecting Asian and
[00:07:09] European markets. Attacks on ships are increasing. Nikolay,
[00:07:19] do you have an understanding of why? Well, if not in
[00:07:22] the entire Middle East, then on
[00:07:26] the Arabian Peninsula for sure, America's favorite wife, Saudi Arabia, is so
[00:07:29] undefended. The airport is a strategically important
[00:07:32] object. We remember how Poaramka was hit
[00:07:36] then, the Patriots performed very poorly then, there was a
[00:07:39] scandal, dismissals, some investigations, today
[00:07:42] they are attacking, I think, an even more important
[00:07:46] object, where civilians
[00:07:49] are completely innocent, they are flying somewhere, arriving somewhere, moreover, at terminals
[00:07:53] or those that are connected to domestic flights, that is,
[00:07:56] they were aiming directly at the residents of Saudi Arabia, they targeted
[00:07:59] the Saudis, so that, I don't know, maybe
[00:08:02] after after against
[00:08:05] the family of bin Salman to turn the people against them, well, there were some
[00:08:09] goals in this, they are not protected, the Americans' cartridges are like...
[00:08:14] a complex answer, of course, because there are several reasons:
[00:08:18] firstly, the asymmetry
[00:08:21] of the means with which they attack, with which they inflict
[00:08:24] strikes, and air defense, mm-hmm, that is,
[00:08:28] well, we see on all fronts that are currently on the globe,
[00:08:31] how difficult it is for Patriots
[00:08:35] to shoot down drones, for example, or
[00:08:38] missiles that are made in general quite crudely and
[00:08:41] fly low.
[00:08:44] You are absolutely right that this was a very
[00:08:47] now ideological
[00:08:50] politically sensitive strike on the ruling house
[00:08:54] of Saud inflicted precisely on
[00:08:57] the Saudis, because yes and Ansarullah, that
[00:09:01] is, the ruling organization in Sana'a,
[00:09:05] has an extremely negative attitude towards them, and
[00:09:08] the history of their interaction has been going on for more than 10
[00:09:11] years. More than 10 years of war, yes, the escalation began in 2015,
[00:09:15] and casualties, and mass casualties among the civilian
[00:09:18] population, and we remember there killed weddings
[00:09:22] hundreds of people and so on and so forth and children, and
[00:09:26] the destroyed infrastructure of northern Yemen, which
[00:09:29] led to the most severe humanitarian catastrophe, unfortunately,
[00:09:33] all this remains somehow outside
[00:09:36] the framework of the media, especially Western ones,
[00:09:39] in fact, the Houthis have a huge score and generally. No, that's
[00:09:43] understandable, but here it's important to understand, for example, that before,
[00:09:47] asymmetric means, yes, the second
[00:09:49] territory, if little Israel can cover itself with an Iron
[00:09:53] Dome, yes, that Iranian missiles pierce
[00:09:56] it, then here they are unable
[00:09:59] to, a different scale, yes, and another
[00:10:02] such important, in my opinion, point is that
[00:10:05] the Saudis themselves, their army is not
[00:10:09] able to fully use Western equipment.
[00:10:13] Nikolay, wait, if they are not able to use it, the American
[00:10:16] pact, this is Islamic NATO, they should be protecting
[00:10:19] those who know how to use it, who have their own equipment.
[00:10:23] So why didn't they use it? Well, the Mikan pact should have been
[00:10:27] activated, it's already like an attack on one country, and automatically an abstraction,
[00:10:30] the Mikan pact,
[00:10:32] yes, Pakistani servicemen
[00:10:36] have been present on the territory of Saudi
[00:10:39] Arabia for decades, this is not news at all,
[00:10:43] yes, they are involved in
[00:10:46] air defense, technical maintenance,
[00:10:49] aviation, and there were situations when
[00:10:52] even Pakistani pilots and...
[00:11:55] They naturally,
[00:11:58] yes, but they politically, I mentioned the axis of resistance,
[00:12:01] which runs from Iran through Iraq, Syria, and to
[00:12:05] Lebanon, but now such a
[00:12:08] link as Syria has been broken, and
[00:12:11] another part is just stretching
[00:12:14] to Yemen, yes, they are ideologically different, they
[00:12:18] are even different Shiites, let's say, but
[00:12:21] Ansar Allah has its own interests.
[00:13:08] You see, the army consists of people who are distributed there by
[00:13:11] clans, tribes, and there one, until the
[00:13:14] command passes, at the beginning of the war with the Houthis in 2015,
[00:13:17] the Houthis bombed an entire tank
[00:13:21] column, simply because the Saudis passed commands among themselves
[00:13:25] along this chain back and forth, now, of course, their
[00:13:28] situation has changed, but this affects it in many ways, plus
[00:13:32] learning ability, believe me, I worked as a military translator in Soviet times,
[00:13:35] including in Yemen, and flew there, walked and
[00:13:39] traveled, it is difficult
[00:13:42] to train these people to use complex
[00:13:45] equipment. Alexander, I want to add to your thesis about who
[00:13:49] benefits from this, yes cui prodest, as the
[00:13:52] Latins said, and the Turks, by the way, are very...
[00:14:25] The Turks, with their pumped-up military-industrial complex, have seriously pumped up their
[00:14:29] military-technical base, their production base over the last 10
[00:14:32] years, they are now, moreover, they are already replacing the US
[00:14:36] in the Middle East conflict, in general they are already offering their
[00:14:39] services, remember the NATO summit that recently took place in Ankara,
[00:14:43] Erdogan offered defense contracts worth tens of billions
[00:14:46] of dollars to NATO partners, and NATO,
[00:14:49] European countries will buy Turkish weapons, because they
[00:14:52] work.
[00:15:25] asked how the Turks are doing in the world, I said, look where they
[00:15:28] open their Turkish Airlines, where
[00:15:31] new routes, these are their goals, these are their goals, they
[00:15:35] achieve them, Said, please, I want to draw attention to
[00:15:38] something very important here, which we all know from
[00:15:42] military theory textbooks, which is primarily characteristic of our army,
[00:15:45] but here for some reason we forget the moral and psychological
[00:15:49] factor, I understand that there are
[00:15:52] technologies, in the end they hit airports with modern
[00:15:56] missiles, but the outcome of the Yemeni war is now before our
[00:16:00] eyes determined precisely by moral and psychological superiority,
[00:16:03] as in the end our victory.
[00:16:38] about Turkey, a small remark, in fact there is also a political dimension here,
[00:16:41] Turkey understands that the States will sooner or later leave the Middle
[00:16:45] East, well, at least they will lose the influence they had until now, a sacred
[00:16:49] place is never empty, so they are occupying this place, especially remembering
[00:16:52] their own historical tradition, then they should have repelled the Houthi attack to
[00:16:56] prove to the Saudis that they are serious partners for the future,
[00:16:59] to create chaos and then come as saviors, they are not creating yet,
[00:17:03] at the stage of creation, I agree, first you need to scare them
[00:17:06] a lot, well, yes...
[00:17:17] Here we can recall Saudi Arabia and its appeal to the United States, when there were
[00:17:21] attacks from Iran at the beginning of this year, that is, Saudi Arabia also
[00:17:25] showed that its security is quite conditional,
[00:17:29] in fact, the Houthis only added to this vulnerability of Saudi
[00:17:32] Arabia, there are also amusing historical
[00:17:36] analogies, because... unfortunately, there is no time for them, Nikolay, he seemed
[00:17:39] to be a shopkeeper, in fact, he said aloud, when you finish, I will tell you
[00:17:43] who benefits, that is, when I asked, they did not say, please, in my opinion,
[00:17:47] of course, it is beneficial to the United States first of all, finally, Kirill
[00:17:50] applauds, because
[00:17:54] growing, I don't know, tiger cubs,
[00:17:57] camel calves, whatever you call them, growing
[00:18:00] states like Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, and
[00:18:03] other
[00:18:07] Persian Gulf states already
[00:18:10] represent, just like Europe before,
[00:18:13] a serious danger to the US economy, that the suzerain will never
[00:18:17] allow the vassal, so they need to be extinguished to become suzerain,
[00:18:29] why Germans demand the resignation of the chancellor, how German
[00:18:32] special services hunt for the right and the left, why Merz in
[00:18:36] a panic gathered an urgent meeting of his supporters and how this
[00:18:40] situation resembles the thirties of the last century? Alexey
[00:18:44] Belov drew historical

[00:22:46] you,
[00:22:48] accept the challenge. And become a hero of your time.
[00:23:04] You are watching the Open Firms program. We continue. The ADG intends to
[00:23:07] destroy Merz's career and enter the government, writes the British publication
[00:23:11] Spectator. A broader quote. Many analysts, both in Germany and
[00:23:15] beyond its borders, are alarmed by the successes of the far-right party, which in the future may
[00:23:19] even form a national government, due to the country's
[00:23:22] gloomy political past. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Germany,
[00:23:26] an analogue of British MI5, constantly monitors the ADG,
[00:23:29] looking for evidence of neo-Nazism in its ranks.
[00:23:32] And here's what's interesting, the special services don't see any obvious
[00:23:36] signs of the Fourth Reich at all. And
[00:23:39] who is putting the economy on a war footing, who is shouting about the threat from Russia, who
[00:23:43] is bringing back military service. And here Alexey Bilov will continue the topic. We ask him to
[00:23:47] take a seat to applause.
[00:23:50] Another demonstration was held in Berlin against the policies
[00:23:54] of Friedrich Merz's government, while formally it was not connected
[00:23:57] with any of the major parties. In the register of the Berlin police,
[00:24:01] the action was announced with the demand for the resignation of the current federal
[00:24:04] government and the chancellor himself. What is happening
[00:24:07] less and less resembles ordinary discontent with a specific cabinet,
[00:24:10] and more and more a systemic split in society, in which the political center
[00:24:14] is rapidly shrinking, and the opposing flanks are becoming
[00:24:18] stronger. On one. D, on the other - the left, and both
[00:24:22] parties today are already capable not just of collecting protest votes, but
[00:24:25] of winning regional elections, breaking the political
[00:24:28] architecture of the FRG that has developed over decades. An
[00:24:32] ANSA poll, conducted for Bild, shows the degree of this split
[00:24:35] almost perfectly. 40% of Germans consider
[00:24:38] the AfD more dangerous for the democratic system,
[00:24:41] 31% the left, another 21%
[00:24:45] equally fear both parties, that is, the overwhelming
[00:24:48] majority of respondents see a threat not somewhere outside the political
[00:24:52] field, but directly within it, from the right, from the left, from
[00:24:55] both sides at once. Some say: if you don't stop
[00:24:59] the AfD, tomorrow 1933
[00:25:02] will return, others, if you don't rein in the left, they will take away
[00:25:05] your apartments, property and turn the country into a socialist
[00:25:08] experiment. Fear is becoming the main political
[00:25:12] instrument. But this is from the same opera, who screams loudest
[00:25:15] "stop thief", right? Well, in some sense, yes, although
[00:25:19] here objectively.
[00:26:41] Bulgarian communists, including Dimitrov and so on, it was connected precisely with
[00:26:45] the fact that they needed to physically and ideologically
[00:26:48] destroy their main enemy and main opponent. Now,
[00:26:51] paradoxically, in Germany there are very
[00:26:54] similar trends, firstly, properly speaking,
[00:26:58] militarization, which you mentioned, and the main thing is not even in economics but in politics,
[00:27:01] militarization. it is happening in the information sphere, in people's
[00:27:04] minds, that is, the idea is being hammered into the people's
[00:27:08] consciousness that they are already in a state of war, but the elite is already at war,
[00:27:12] the elite is already fighting, it understands this perfectly, properly speaking, excuse
[00:27:15] me, Darin, in his yesterday's speech, it seems, or even
[00:27:19] this morning, he stated that yes, we are not
[00:27:22] a neutral country in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict,
[00:27:26] we are fighting on the side of Ukraine, that is, they are already at
