New Order with Afshin Rattansi will trace how India and its allies sit at the center of a transformation in world history. Power is moving, alliances are shifting, and the rules of trade, technology, and security are being rewritten. New Order is about diplomatic architecture: The networks of power, the flow of money, and the levers of influence that determine who gains and who loses in a world of tectonic transition.

00:01:33of five years in prison, 100 hours community service, he joins me
00:01:37now from Washington DC. Ambassador John Bolton, welcome
00:01:41to New Order, so Modi celebrating a
00:01:45trade deal with more western European
00:01:49of countries, isn't it clear that
00:01:51of India needs to sign trade deals with other
00:01:54countries, given the fact that US
00:01:58trade with India, there's not... going to be a trade deal any time
00:02:02soon? well, it's a a big mistake for the United
00:02:05States globally to have announced all these tariffs last
00:02:10in year, and I would say
00:02:11of that the tariff issue has been handled with India
00:02:15particularly poorly for a variety of reasons, some of it having to do with the
00:02:19Russian aggression in Ukraine, some of it for other reasons, but I
00:02:23think any government has to look out after its own self-interest,
00:02:27and in this case pursued tariff deals, where they can
00:02:31uh, it's it's a missed opportunity for the United States. I i think there are a lot
00:02:35of possibilities for
00:02:37a closer US Indian relations on political economic matters
00:02:41generally, and to have these tariffs out there as an
00:02:44issue really just makes it more difficult, and by the way, increases
00:02:48taxes on Americans, I mean that's one
00:02:50of the
00:02:50in fundamental of things of wrong, this is not simply injurious to
00:02:54India, it harms Americans too, that that's why terrorist shouldn't
00:02:58be normal... a tool of diplomacy?
00:03:02mean, that's widely accepted across the US political spectrum ahead
00:03:06of the midterms arguably, but do you think it's important now
00:03:09of for India, especially after the bricks Delhi declaration
00:03:13signed by the UAE, where I'm
00:03:15of speaking to you from, from Iran, Russia, China, the
00:03:19India should have no limits partnership
00:03:22of of with China in the face
00:03:23of these kinds of threats, I mean sure Trump may be, who
00:03:27knows, he may be impeached after uh... he loses the senate,
00:03:31but India can't
00:03:32of rely on the United States as being any kind of partner
00:03:36given that India's discovered the kind of acts it
00:03:39holds over its
00:03:40in head. Well, I think you're talking about Trump rather
00:03:43of than the United States. Trump is an aberation, there's no doubt about it, we
00:03:47don't we don't need to see any more presidents like that, so I think it's
00:03:51a question, unfortunately as is for many countries around the world of
00:03:55kind of gritting your teeth to get through
00:03:58of it, of I wouldn't rush into China's arms. "I think their interest in
00:04:01expanding their hegemonic capabilities all around their
00:04:04Indo-Pacific is very real and and in close relationship
00:04:08with Russia where they already have a partnership without limits, and
00:04:12we're we're seeing
00:04:13of the effect of that in Ukraine right now, so this this
00:04:17combined threat
00:04:18of the China, Russia access
00:04:19I think is serious strategic issue, and not
00:04:23one that the declarations from these diplomatic conferences have got
00:04:27to change, yeah, but I mean India's close." relations obviously
00:04:31with Russia too, would you say the single most important thing you
00:04:35did as national security advisor in
00:04:37a that region and in that sphere was to split apart any
00:04:41kind
00:04:42a of closeness between India and China, this is
00:04:46a crucial tenent of US policy, and this isn't
00:04:50just since Trump obviously, I mean you know the BJP
00:04:54discovered they were being bugged by the United States through
00:04:58Edward Snowden under the...
00:05:00administration, well leaving leaving
00:05:03aside those sorts of things, look, i think this is a question of
00:05:07strategic reality, and india
00:05:11of has the geographic reality of having a land border with China
00:05:15across which there have been numerous military incidents over the
00:05:19years and as to which there's still considerable disputed
00:05:22territory. China has a lot that it's looking at now,
00:05:26but it's probing all around its periphery against the
00:05:30sankaku islands claimed by Japan, against
00:05:33Taiwan in the South China Sea. Their most recent hot war
00:05:37was of consequence was with Vietnam in
00:05:411979. border uh clashes along the line of
00:05:45actual control with India repeatedly this this
00:05:49is not a nice quiet neighbor and I think
00:05:52India understands that fully
00:05:55and hopefully we can get over the disruptions the Trump
00:05:59administration revive the Asian security quad with Japan
00:06:02and Australia and and talk about matters of mutual
00:06:06interest yeah but I mean the China Vietnam conflict was a
00:06:10long long time ago and you can't name many more conflicts
00:06:14China has been fighting since then, and
00:06:17also it's not just that ask why they're building up their
00:06:21military in one the largest increases in in
00:06:24capacity in history and a very rapid rate
00:06:27and building a force of nuclear weapons
00:06:31that in very short order as these things go, perhaps by
00:06:342030 will be roughly comparable to the Russian
00:06:38arsenal and the United States arsenal, making it a tripolar
00:06:41nuclear. world and not a bipolar nuclear world and and could that
00:06:45arming be defensive given the threat from the United States
00:06:49obviously in this region we've had the war on Iran
00:06:53ongoing
00:06:54we don't know whether by the time this is even being broadcast Trump will have
00:06:57decided to use tactical nuclear weapons or with his partner
00:07:01Israel yeah what did you make the US-Israeli targeting of
00:07:05India's chabahar port in Iran was that to
00:07:09damage Indian trade roots and i think there's
00:07:13effectively zero chance of anybody using nuclear weapons against
00:07:17Iran, the reason it's so important in my view to change the
00:07:20regime in Tehran is precisely to prevent this government
00:07:24of medieval authoritarian religious fanatics from
00:07:28endangering their neighbors, the the the hit on the
00:07:32Indian ship came after warnings, after repeated
00:07:36warnings to stop because
00:07:37there was a blockade, and not aimed at
00:07:41India or anyone else, and the standard operating procedure for the navy is to say,
00:07:45if you don't stop, we will target your engine room, you have 15 minutes to
00:07:49evacuate, so there the
00:07:52the the captain of that ship, I think holds a considerable
00:07:55responsibility, but this is a Chabaha port facilities owned by the
00:07:59Indian government, I'm not talking about ships, why was that
00:08:03attacked, and the rail lines which are so important obviously for
00:08:06the north south transport corridor, which I assume you
00:08:10as national security advisor opposed. well the the the issue
00:08:14here is dealing with the regime in Iran
00:08:17and uh the specifics depend on the
00:08:21circumstances we're facing, I'm sorry, I thought you were referring to the
00:08:24ship that that was fired on by the
00:08:28US Navy and that I think was regrettable, but as I said in
00:08:32large measure the responsibility the captain, one the things the
00:08:35navy uh says in hailing ships
00:08:39is this blockade will be enforced by
00:08:42is the not entire just United States Navy, almost
00:08:46other captains disregarded that, yeah, but I'm
00:08:49talking about Indian defense a
00:08:53world where the United States attacks important, vital
00:08:57strategic trade corridors that India is is
00:09:00part of, amids and in the context of
00:09:0425% tariff threats and all the rest of it, you you
00:09:08can understand
00:09:10why bricks is not just diplomats signing a... declaration,
00:09:14well we'll we'll see about that, i think that's what it's been so far, but this is in
00:09:18the context of dealing with Iran, which I think the Indian government's well aware
00:09:22of. I mean, we had last week Larry Wilkerson, former chief of staff the
00:09:25state department under Colin Powel who said that Trump had been, I mean you're
00:09:29laughing, tell me why you're laughing, he he said he'd heard from
00:09:33people in the circle of Stephen Miller and others that Trump had given th
00:09:37yahoo to go ahead for nuclear weapon, well look there's
00:09:41there there's lot a lot of speculation there, I wouldn't try and
00:09:45answer Larry Wolkerson if my life depended on it. Why is
00:09:48that? not reliable source, former chief of
00:09:52staff at the US state department, not reliable
00:09:56source. well, yeah, I presumely you've vetted him
00:09:59after he left office. Who knows? you've always preferred the
00:10:03imec corridor, which of course goes through
00:10:07Israel, of course Israel, hugely
00:10:10unpopulated around the world.
00:10:12in the United States, in the United States amongst
00:10:16amongst American Jews, let alone everywhere
00:10:19else, after the genocide in Gaza, so what was the point
00:10:23the imec corridor?
00:10:25been now director when Israel is hated and Iran
00:10:28clearly because of what's happened
00:10:32has a incentive to get nuclear weapons
00:10:36for the first time? look, iran has been pursuing nuclear weapons
00:10:40for 35 years if
00:10:42you know that's not true under any agency, that's obviously factually
00:10:46incorrect it is absolutely
00:10:48true and
00:10:52but of
00:10:53said national. should intelligence have she's she's totally unqualified for
00:10:57that job and the the longstanding nature the
00:11:01Irani nuclear weapons program was demonstrated by
00:11:04materials brought out by the Israelis in their raid on the
00:11:08archive in Tehran in the spring of 2018 documenting it way
00:11:12back to its origins. yeah, but
00:11:16that's that's not what I was really asking. I was asking about the fact that and
00:11:20I think if you were national security advisor to come in right now,
00:11:24you'd be saying, get nuclear weapons
00:11:26as fast as you can, given the circumstances, what would be the purpose
00:11:30of an imec corridor uh trade route as an alternative to
00:11:34the NSTC, north south trade corridor, if there won't be in
00:11:38Israel very soon? well, I think Israel is going to be around lot
00:11:42longer than the current regime in Tehran, which has demonstrated it
00:11:45remains committed to getting nuclear weapons. uh, they have been trying
00:11:49for years, they have hidden facilities from the international
00:11:53atomic energy agency, they bar the ia inspectors from key
00:11:56locations, military bases like the
00:12:00key, they don't care now, do they? i don't they care at
00:12:04all, well those those have been destroyed, those have been destroyed and
00:12:08they are still building uh at pickaxe mountain, which they think
00:12:12will be a more secure site, so even as much their nuclear
00:12:15program lies in ruins, they continue to do work for that
00:12:19program to go on, well clearly they're incentivized now for a balance of power because
00:12:23Israel has nuclear weapons. Israel's had nuclear weapons for
00:12:27a long time, although they've never admitted it, the other governments in the
00:12:30region have learned to live with that, and the idea that
00:12:34that somehow this was defensive
00:12:38again is belied by what the Iranian's own archive
00:12:41said is as demonstrated when the israelis made it public several
00:12:45years ago. ambassador bolden, we'll continue after the break, keep
00:12:49watching, new
00:12:50order.
00:13:10There's no end in sight over how you're going to continue to destroy the earth. Is the
00:13:14case the madness the people? I tried to go to the gym but I'm certainly not ready to
00:13:18fight Russia. This is all so absurd. This is third world
00:13:21lunacy, brainwashing. likes to
00:13:25say we have the tools, why don't we just start with stability and
00:13:29business deals? what plan living on man? we have very good
00:13:33propaganda in our press here in Europe. i think we don't know the
00:13:36aftermath. anytime that you're not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all the
00:13:40questions. the more questions asked, the better the answers will
00:13:43be.
00:13:48look forward to talking to you all. that technology should
00:13:52work for people a... robot must obey the
00:13:56orders given it by human beings, except where such orders with conflict with the
00:14:00first law. show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial
00:14:03intelligence. the point obviously is to create
00:14:07trust rather than fear. i
00:14:11would like to take on various jobs i mean
00:14:13with artificial intelligence we are summoning the
00:14:15demon.
00:14:22robot must protect its own existence.
00:15:30You're watching New Order, Ambassador Bolton, we were talking about uh
00:15:33Israel and its existence, back to Bricks.
00:15:37back to India, what do you think the fact that no one
00:15:41really cares anymore about the threat of US
00:15:44sanctions? um, I actually don't know what you response
00:15:48was to uh the lance at publication that US
00:15:52sanctions have killed 38 million people, between
00:15:551971 and 2021 is the estimate in the esteemed
00:15:59British medical journal, the lancert. No one cares about the sanctions
00:16:03anymore, the US can threaten India all it likes, it will continue
00:16:06trading with. russia: well, it depends on the sanctions, it
00:16:10depends on how they're being enforced and and what effect
00:16:14it has on the targets? think in the case of Iran
00:16:18right now, the blockade on oil exports
00:16:22and any imports into Iran is having a very significant effect. I
00:16:26think the government is ever ever more
00:16:29susceptible to being overthrown from within, the economy, which is
00:16:33already in bad shape, is in worse shape, so these are the kinds of...
00:16:37sanctions that are actually enforced that
00:16:40really
00:16:43sanctions that are not sanctions are proven time and time again not to work, we're talking about a country
00:16:46with the largest i don't biggest car
00:16:50manufacturer in this region from where I'm speaking to you and
00:16:54journalists who've been there recently tell me that those who oppose
00:16:57their government now support their government, you do understand the rally around the flag
00:17:01effect the illegal bombing, I don't think that's the effect,
00:17:05I don't
00:17:06I don't think that's the effect it's had. inside around and by the way, speaking of sanctions, I
00:17:10think the government the UAE has done exactly the right thing
00:17:13by saying that they will not allow Iran to
00:17:17to trade or or launder their finances
00:17:21through UAE financial institutions. I think that's going to have and
00:17:25is having a significant negative impact on the regime's
00:17:28ability to stay a float financially. And yet, the UAE and
00:17:32Iran were in the same table of course in Delhi signing
00:17:36that declaration and... back to those sanctions on Russia, which
00:17:39shows about what significance it's going to have, it it reminds me of my days
00:17:43back in the United Nations when the general assembly routinely passed resolutions that
00:17:47went from the floor the general assembly right into a file
00:17:51never to be reviewed again, because you firmly believe that
00:17:55bricks is what over, I mean looking it towards
00:17:59Brazil and the what's been happening, we looking forward to a
00:18:02runoff which some believe will see
00:18:06Bolsonaro's son. 'I'm not sure whether you met him, I know you met his
00:18:09father um may become uh the leader of
00:18:13Brazil, the Bean Bricks, what do
00:18:14you think that will mean for Bricks? Well, I don't, I think I
00:18:18think that would result in a pretty significant change in Brazil's policy, but what I'm
00:18:22referring to is not changes of administrations at the top, but
00:18:26fundamental interest, bricks itself is
00:18:30composed of countries whose basic interest are contrary to
00:18:34one another, certainly in the case of Brazil and Russia, their ener'.
00:18:37exporters as opposed to India and China, which are energy
00:18:41importers, they've got different approaches and different
00:18:45priorities, that's what drives national policy,
00:18:48and and and ultimately that's what will prevail. Well, some
00:18:52people would say that it's can be more synchronized. I mean, there was a thing
00:18:56called OPEC and the UAE have just left it, but they were all exporting
00:19:00oil at the same time, what, what
00:19:03do you make of accusations that the United States?
00:19:07has been interfering in the election the bee in bricks,
00:19:11brazil, because you accused of that famously, you called it the troika of
00:19:15tyrany in Miami in 2018 ahead of
00:19:19Bolsonaro senior taking over, you met him in Rio,
00:19:23you uh, you praise the judge, judge Morro, of
00:19:27course was exposed by Wikileaks
00:19:29as as someone who was
00:19:33involved with the United States institutions ahead the prosecution of
00:19:36Lula, Lula:
00:19:40well, the torque of tyranny I was referring to was Cuba, Nicaragua and
00:19:43Venezuela, and not intended in any way to have an
00:19:47impact on the then Brazilian elections. I don't know
00:19:50how it's going to come out. I did meet the President Bolsonaro before he was
00:19:54inaugurated, we we were in his his modest home in
00:19:57Rio, he he made breakfast for me and his incoming foreign minister,
00:20:01and he had very good relations with with the Trump
00:20:05administration, whether his son will be, elected or not, I don't know, I
00:20:09don't, I don't think it basically helps the United States uh
00:20:13to interfere in truly democratic elections, Trump himself proved
00:20:16that he was so uh uh antipathetic toward Justin
00:20:20Trudeau and his party and Canada that he
00:20:24helped Trudeau's successor Mark Carney get elected uh,
00:20:28which Trump has found uncomfortable, so I think the prudent thing to do for American
00:20:32president uh is just uh be quiet and say we're gonna respect the
00:20:35outcome, we'll work
00:20:36for whomever. is victorious, yeah, but there have been cases recently
00:20:40that the uh Indians haven't been liking over uh
00:20:44perceived attempts to uh destabilize
00:20:48India, I mean not just since time the bugging the BJP
00:20:51itself, but uh, in terms of other elements of
00:20:55US strategy, you were national security advisor, you know that you
00:20:59interfere in other governments, in fact
00:21:01USAID was is instrument of that, is it
00:21:05not? certainly is not, I was an
00:21:09official of USAID in the early Reagan
00:21:12administration, Mark the first time I visited India in fact in
00:21:161982 or 83, I think I think...
00:21:20the dismantlement of USAID by the Trump administration has been a big
00:21:23mistake, ultimately it's going to be replaced one way or the other. I would say
00:21:27during at least my tenure as national security advisor, I thought we
00:21:31had excellent relations with India, we worked
00:21:35closely together on handling
00:21:38a an Indian response to an act of
00:21:42terrorism committed across the border from Pakistan, I think that was
00:21:45appreciated at the time, and I thought back then Modi and Trump had
00:21:49gotten off to... a good relationship but mard perhaps
00:21:53only by the fact that Modi shook Trump's hand so hard that
00:21:56uh it it left him kind of gasping which like shows how strong
00:22:00Mr. Modi really is. Well, the US organization of crime
00:22:04and corruption reporting project, I mean, isn't
00:22:08that also funded by USAID and it's the state department?
00:22:12You don't believe these sorts of institutions created by the United States are
00:22:16there to advance US strategic power.
00:22:20the Indian government says never heard of that
00:22:24institution, it's call the o-co, the Indian government
00:22:27has just said it's being used to target state aligned Indian companies,
00:22:31I mean that is rather the way uh US policy
00:22:35works, isn't it? well again since I've never
00:22:39heard of that institution, I can't really say, no, no, most American companies
00:22:43frankly uh are heavily resistant to being used in that
00:22:46way uh, and we can talk about that, but it's hardly. well
00:22:50this was a US cut, this is a US
00:22:54cutout organization used to align
00:22:58different state align company
00:23:00state align companies within
00:23:03India,
00:23:04you indian state companies, well it may it may be the least known
00:23:08US cut out in history, i've never heard all the more
00:23:11dangerous some might say, so you're just not so you don't think
00:23:15you don't think the destabilization of bricks countries
00:23:19is... going on at all by the CIA,
00:23:23USAID, the State Department, they're not involved in trying to
00:23:27destabilize bricks countries that align themselves too
00:23:30closely to particular bricks partners, I mean obviously
00:23:33Iran is member of bricks as is Russia as is
00:23:37China. Well, I wouldn't comment on what we were doing covertly
00:23:40any case, but it would the short answer to the question is it depends on the
00:23:44country, I wish we were doing more to destabilize the Iranian
00:23:48government, I think it's very close to... collapse right now and I'd like to
00:23:52see us succeed in that uh in as short a period
00:23:55of time
00:23:59most the world doesn't see it like this clearly India doesn't buse India has close
00:24:03relations with Iran I mean
00:24:08in is it the your American view that there establishment
00:24:08are at people
00:24:12the state department in the Pentagon who really believe India is going to stop importing
00:24:16Russian energy is that serious idea?
00:24:20think i think i think it would be worth
00:24:23considering
00:24:28the economy, whether supporting the economy of a country that
00:24:31supplies china with high-end
00:24:35weapon systems that could be used against India
00:24:38over the long-term really is in India's geostrategic
00:24:41interest, so you think nothing the handshake between Modi and shi
00:24:45Jinping, you think it represents nothing? i think it
00:24:49represents very clear eyed view
00:24:53that that India has to look out for its own national
00:24:56interest and and that doesn't surprise me at all, i think the
00:25:00real question is understanding what China's
00:25:04near term and long-term objectives are, and I think it's
00:25:08unmistakable that what China seeks in the near term is hegemony
00:25:11along its periphery and over the longer term the Germany and
00:25:15East and South Asia, but China will always be
00:25:19treated. preferentially to India by the United States, as we
00:25:23see from the tariffs and from the fact that China can import as much Russian
00:25:26oil as it once, the Graham act sanctions, I'm gonna hit China, as I
00:25:30said before, that's the that's the Trump aberation at work. I mean, I
00:25:34think I've said any number of occasions, I think uh, the
00:25:38disproportionate treatment of India makes no sense whatsoever, not
00:25:41strategically, and not even from Trump's own perspective uh
00:25:45of his relationship with Modi, ambassador Bolton, thank
00:25:49you. glad to be with
00:25:51you,
00:25:57trump called John Balton, wacko John Balton, someone who's not
00:26:00wako is social. media queen Zara
00:26:03Khan. I will take that for the compliment that I I'm perceiving it as.
00:26:07Absolutely. Poly Pop socket has asked, "aren't these wars a sign, we should
00:26:11work on using natural resources instead like water, sun,
00:26:14wind. Well, I mean, Israel is not only trying to
00:26:18steal the gas from Gaza, it's trying to create an
00:26:21ethno-supremacist situation. Um, I think
00:26:25from what John Bolton was saying, you can kind of see, it's not destroying Russia just
00:26:29for resources, like the ones you just mentioned, it's uh..."
00:26:32something more visceral, and if you were to use the
00:26:36sustainable way, as polly popsocket is saying, what would
00:26:40happen to all the profits, corporate profits, the war pays, five
00:26:44oil super majors have made $48 billion dollars out the closure the straight of
00:26:48umuz, best quarter since Russia went into the Dombas after NATO killed
00:26:5114,000, neoliberal treaties anyway, have a
00:26:55something called the invester state dispute settlement schemes and
00:26:59clauses, so if you started to use water, sunshine and wind the... be going,
00:27:03you got to compensate us companies for the fact you're not using us, you're using the
00:27:06sunshine, and corporation monopolies can anyway
00:27:10own the water, and there are mechanisms for the
00:27:14corporations to take over sunlight, so it's a
00:27:18good idea, but needs a bit more work, bit more work,
00:27:22and joevit has asked, does netan yahu think nuking Iran will get him
00:27:25reelected, um, at the time of recording,
00:27:29no nuclear strike, but as Larry Wilkerson said, 'and John Borton was
00:27:33laughing at him, what did he mean when he said about the former chief of
00:27:37staff at the US state department that uh what was his
00:27:41exact words he was trying to uh say it wasn't right, but anyway at the
00:27:45time anyway because Wilkerson said there would
00:27:47be nuclear striking trump given to go ahead, I think the important thing
00:27:50now is uh for the IAA to demand immediate
00:27:53access to Israel's nuclear weapons, that's the important thing, we don't
00:27:57even know whether Netanyahu is safely guarding these nuclear weapons, that's
00:28:01the uh issue more than Netanyahu
00:28:05thinking of uh nuking Iran to get himself re-elected.
00:28:09This is all the time we have this week. I will be back next week with more questions a
00:28:13non-wacky way. Of course, sorry
00:28:15I can't. Thank you. And uh, remember to follow us on exit new
00:28:18order_tv. To ask your questions, we'll keep watching. India and its global south
00:28:22partners as they create an age of multipolarity. See you
00:28:25Sunday.
00:28:46I think that this um um hegemonic kind of
00:28:50mindset um is um deeply um
00:28:54within Donald Trump's personality um he think that the
00:28:57American of course is is is still the the greatest and most
00:29:01powerful country. a planet and and the United
00:29:05States according to his uh him and his followers has
00:29:09been short changed by is by his allies so it's
00:29:12now um incument upon him to change that
00:29:16by maximizing American's
00:29:18dominance.
00:29:34'I've spent years in conversations beyond
00:29:37borders, some were formal,
00:29:41some tense, some
00:29:42difficult, but all
00:29:46them mattered. They chartered
00:29:49India's path and how the world
00:29:53responded. Foreign policy isn't
00:29:56theory, it is lived in arguments
00:30:00in decisions. and in their
00:30:03consequences. It's not an interview, it's a
00:30:07conversation. Let's
00:30:10talk.
00:30:17In the headlines here live on RT, Donald Trump announces there's an
00:30:21energy cease fire between Moscow and Kiev just day
00:30:24after saying Ukraine needs a new leader,
00:30:28and while Russia has yet to comment, Vladimir Zelensky is called by surprise
00:30:32saying: Kyev will agree if Moscow does the
00:30:35same. The hootis claim responsibility
