00:00:00And we are creating, well, by "we" I mean the BRICS countries,
00:00:04countries aspiring to a multipolar world, we are creating
00:00:07a system where the same Germany, if at least one
00:00:11adequate person comes to power, he will say, "Stop, you're blackmailing me,
00:00:14goodbye, there's still a counter where I'd gladly
00:00:18lie down and feel comfortable." That's what this is about. It starts
00:00:21with finances. When there are finances, there's something to protect.
00:00:24When there are no finances, like in Germany today, what's there to protect? A quick
00:00:28summary, please, and...
00:00:30These are rubles, these are yuan, these are dirhams that are
00:00:33gradually replacing the dollar (rupees, dollar). This is
00:00:37a gradual process of de-dollarization. Therefore, of course,
00:00:40in aggregate, this is already a path to a ready plan for
00:00:54What actions by Saudi Arabia led to the escalation of the conflict with the
00:00:57Houthis, and how did Yemeni...
00:05:27we move to the Middle East. As reported by representatives of the Yemeni Houthis,
00:05:31Saudi Arabia has carried out 54 airstrikes in the last day,
00:05:35using F-15 and Typhoon fighter jets.
00:05:38The Houthis warned that these attacks, quote, "will not go
00:05:41un...
00:06:15their parade-ground royal Saudi Arabian forces. Moreover, the Houthis, if they wish,
00:06:19will carry out raids on Saudi Arabian territory. They have experience
00:06:22in this, and it's quite successful. And they will crush
00:06:25the Turks if they suddenly decide to defend the Saudis under
00:06:29the concluded Mecan Pact. The Houthis are
00:06:32descendants of those Yemenis who successfully fought the Ottomans for
00:06:36centuries. In addition, they also resisted the British,
00:06:39so the Saudis stirred up this hornets' nest for nothing. Because
00:06:43it was initially possible to negotiate with the Houthis, and if
00:06:47the invasion of Yemen had not occurred, the Iranians would not have established
00:06:51themselves there, as it was precisely the intervention and blockade that forced the Houthis
00:06:54to cooperate closely with Tehran. They initially had
00:06:57no military threat or real intentions against
00:07:00Saudi Arabia. Ibrahim,
00:07:03let's go in order. The Houthis' actions are primarily directed
00:07:07against Saudi Arabia. What caused such an escalation,
00:07:11precisely now? The thing is, that
00:07:13the armed forces
00:07:16of Yemen,
00:07:19subordinate to the internationally recognized administration,
00:07:22launched an offensive on
00:07:26the outskirts of the port city of Hodeidah,
00:07:30the main transport and logistics
00:07:32hub for the supply of humanitarian aid and in principle
00:07:35the foreign economic activity of the Houthis
00:07:39and the import of various goods and services. Well,
00:07:42especially military goods, and it just so happened
00:07:45that -
00:07:49Saudi Arabia,
00:07:52since the beginning of hostilities in 2015,
00:07:55does not have accurate
00:07:59intelligence data and is constantly misled
00:08:02by various local
00:08:05forces in controlled business
00:08:07administration territories. The thing is, that
00:08:11the armed forces.
00:08:43And it just so happened that all these sides, one way or another,
00:08:47conflict with each other,
00:08:50and these are quite quarrelsome troops, which
00:08:54are essentially such only on paper. And
00:08:57just, look, there are two of the most difficult texts, as far as I understand, I,
00:09:01as a philologist, can say, it's James Joyce's Ulysses,
00:09:05this attempt to understand how everything in Yemen is arranged, because
00:09:09the entry point into this topic is at least several...
00:09:43The operation against the Houthis was supposed to begin in anticipation of epic
00:09:46fury. The Saudis then backed out, saying: we won't do it because we
00:09:50can only attack from the north, and Aden is controlled by the government, which is
00:09:53under the control of the United Arab Emirates. We cannot do
00:09:56this. As a result, they prepared, prepared,
00:10:00prepared, prepared. At the most crucial moment, the Houthis simply
00:10:03wiped them out, wiped them out so epically that perhaps in
00:10:06modern wars and military conflicts, well, only the extraction
00:10:10procedure, well, in what there is.
00:10:20And the Emirates withdrew their troops and assets and
00:10:23effectively. left the fight against the
00:10:26Houthis to Saudi Arabia alone. She
00:10:30was left alone, virtually, in Yemen. Exactly about "alone," Vitaly, there is also
00:10:33the Mecan Agreement, and Saudi
00:10:36Arabia appealed, they said, "Well, sorry,
00:10:39please, no one will get involved." You read my
00:10:42thoughts perfectly. I wanted to talk about that Mecan alliance, where Pakistan,
00:10:46Turkey, and precisely Saudi Arabia, and where, by the way, those who
00:10:49opposed the Houthis, proxies,
00:10:53and Saudi Arabia and the United
00:10:55Emirates. The Emirates are part of BRICS, by the way. They imposed a
00:10:59whole bunch of sanctions against the Houthis. So they are against sanctions within BRICS, but for some reason, against
00:11:03the Houthis, they imposed a whole bunch of sanctions. I just want to say, my esteemed
00:11:06colleague said that something unexpected happened, the Houthis struck,
00:11:10no one expected it. Yes, it's a typical Arab story, excuse me. From
00:11:14history, the Six-Day War of '67, remember when Israel,
00:11:18well, excuse me, routed all Arab armies, Darina remembers the details, and Darina
00:11:22remembers the details, yes, yes, yes, I'm sure she participated herself.
00:11:39that's why Donald Trump, although they were very seriously
00:11:43involved in preparing the operation together with the Saudis. Moreover,
00:11:46within the Saudi formations, there are brigades
00:11:50composed of former
00:11:52members.
00:12:25I agree, yes, of course, they are very, they
00:12:28are exactly, probably, what's the, as they say among
00:12:31the people, the catch, why is it like that? Because, let's look, we tend
00:12:35to think that the Houthis control the entire territory of Yemen, but in reality
00:12:39no, it's small, but this is a very specific
00:12:42region, that the system
00:12:43of training,
00:12:47I explain, this is a very specific region, where this movement is located, these are mountains
00:12:50with very difficult terrain, to survive there, to farm,
00:12:54you must be a person with a special
00:12:57mentality, resilience, yes,
00:13:00with very high self-organization. At that time, there are not
00:13:03many chances to survive, therefore, the most important thing is high
00:13:06self-organization. Let's gather opinions, yes, Malek. Well, let's also not forget the fact that
00:13:10sometimes, you know, people look at the map of Yemen and see that there,
00:13:14conditionally speaking, government troops control more territory, yes, than
00:13:17the Houthis, and it seems that the government controls more. In fact, the most
00:13:20populous regions of Yemen are controlled precisely by
00:13:24the Houthis. That is, their regions account for almost 80% of the entire country's
00:13:28population, so they certainly have a much greater demographic
00:13:31potential than the government. That is, there is Aden, for example, yes, and some
00:13:34other cities on the coast, but no more than that. Therefore, if everything
00:13:38starts to fall apart, it could collapse quite quickly. As for
00:13:41the consequences, I really think that at the current moment we will see, in general,
00:13:45the first consequences of the global weakening of the United States in the Middle
00:13:49East. The Houthis were the first to take advantage of this, yes, they went on the
00:13:52counteroffensive, and it turned out that, yes... problems with
00:13:56missiles, problems with drones, problems with aviation. It is critical for them to open a second
00:13:59front now, especially on the eve of the elections to Congress, given that they have a fuel crisis
00:14:03within America and so on. In short, there's nothing good to respond with.
00:14:07Iran is taking advantage of this, because for Iran, of course, the Houthis are not
00:14:10satellites, but close allies, so for Iran this strengthens their
00:14:14negotiating position with the Gulf monarchies, with Oman, and
00:14:17of course with the United States, so for America this is a very painful blow, and it
00:14:21seems to me that in Washington they still don't understand how to react to all this.
00:14:27And I have another question, unlike Malek, what if this is a secret game of the USA to keep the Saudis
00:14:31on a leash? I think that's how
00:14:34it started, how interesting your leash looks.
00:14:37It started, I will only add such
00:14:40short information, well, few people know, very narrow
00:14:43specialists,
00:14:46the loss of American influence in the region
00:14:49is confirmed by a simple fact: the Saudis negotiated with
00:14:52Pakistan on nuclear weapons. At the counterintelligence level, at
00:14:56the level of specific services, it
00:15:00was not just probing, but there was talk of creating a common
00:15:03dome, of signing documentation at the government level
00:15:07that would lead, well, like NATO's fifth paragraph, that
00:15:10Pakistan provides nuclear weapons. That is, they tried
00:15:14to launch these processes in different ways, not that alliance where Turkey, Saudi
00:15:18Arabia. They held talks without Turkey. A Pakistani
00:15:21defector leaked all the information to German intelligence services.
00:15:58what Iran and the Houthis have,
00:16:00these are cables that affect the entire
00:16:04financial world, not just the region, but the entire...
00:16:37We all know about the Strait of Hormuz, here's the Bab el-Mandeb
00:16:40Strait, also something that currently handles
00:16:4320% of the world's economic, and
00:16:47the only energy, all goods,
00:16:50of course, yes, the only alternative for Saudi oil
00:16:54supplies was the East-West pipeline. Right now
00:16:57it's not working, as a result, I put myself in
00:17:01Saudi Arabia's place, what can they do? For the Americans, it won't be a
00:17:05'tamdidance,' no, it won't work, yes...
00:17:07I don't have a polar bear, thankfully, the situation is such that they
00:17:11are turning from allies into a burden for the Americans, because
00:17:15the Saudis must now decide for themselves whether they somehow
00:17:18negotiate with Iran, "hold back
00:17:21your Houthis so they stop striking," yes, but then they would have lost, they
00:17:24clearly don't understand the relationship between Iran and the Houthis, they
00:17:28simply don't, or they must continue to be subjected to these
00:17:32strikes even further, and the Egyptians
00:17:34also that's it.
00:17:50happening in the US on the eve of the Congressional elections? Why is Donald Trump already
00:17:54directly promising every American to pay 5,000
00:17:57dollars if the Republicans win? Why does no one
00:18:00in America believe his promises anymore? For what reason
00:18:04are the approval ratings of the current president falling lower and lower?

00:22:28This is a live broadcast and we continue: Donald Trump promised to pay
00:22:32every adult US citizen $5,000
00:22:35if Republicans retain control of the House of
00:22:39Representatives and the Senate following the
00:22:51The Republican Party Convention in Dallas took place in a chaotic
00:22:55atmosphere. Trump decided to play his ace by promising to give
00:22:58every adult American $5,000 if the Republicans
00:23:02win the upcoming elections. He's already
00:23:06desperately trying to increase voter turnout. There are
00:23:09270 million people over 18 years old in the US.
00:23:13The promised amount for all of them would require
00:23:151.3 trillion dollars, which is equivalent to
00:23:1920% of the American budget. There is simply no source
00:23:22for such money, and even if it were found, such
00:23:26helicopter money distribution would lead to an inflation surge
00:23:30worse than what happened during Biden's term. However,
00:23:33it's not difficult for Trump to throw out these promises, since it's likely
00:23:37that Republicans will lose,
00:23:41and they won't need to fulfill anything. At the same time, they
00:23:44can blame the Democrats, who clearly won't want to allocate Trump
00:23:48money to distribute to the population.
00:23:50Overall, the White House's situation with a positive agenda is difficult right now,
00:23:53so they have to resort to extreme populist
00:23:57measures. At the same time, Trump also promised to end the war in
00:24:01Iran, winning it immediately after the elections. The problem is
00:24:04that fewer and fewer Americans take these statements
00:24:08seriously. As a result, Trump's ratings are falling.
00:24:12The Republican convention was interesting for its non-public part.
00:24:15There were already negotiations between major sponsors and JD Vance, on
00:24:19whom they are betting in the next presidential
00:24:22race. Listen, well, in the Ukrainian political
00:24:25tradition, there is this main idea,
00:24:29that when elections are held, every politician must bring a bag
00:24:32of buckwheat, some flag with the deputy's name,
00:24:36a pen, and a children's calendar so that children in school can look at it. This
00:24:39works for the Ukrainian audience, there are grandmothers who can vote for
00:24:43this, well, in general, that's it. Why does Trump make such
00:24:46loud statements? Who is this intended for generally? No, well, look, you see, we...
00:24:59Well, you see, such an Ukrainization of American politics is unfolding before our eyes, but in reality it's quite easy to make
00:25:02such populist promises if you know that you won't have to fulfill anything, right?
00:25:06That is, everyone perfectly understands that, of course, without Congressional approval, no one will approve
00:25:09that money for Trump, that's one and a half trillion dollars, by the way.
00:25:12Congress is going on another election recess, although
00:25:16his summer vacation just ended recently, now it's an election one.
00:26:03Well, okay, but look, it turns out Trump understands that he won't get
00:26:07the majority he wanted, and the Democrats are already starting to squeeze him in
00:26:10a vise. But I read that the Democrats, the Democrats
00:26:13launched a network that will allegedly look for fraud among
00:26:16Republicans, but Republicans don't seem to be
00:26:19looking for fraud among Democrats. They are already preparing
00:26:23as if, well, if not, then not. No, no, I think both sides will certainly
00:26:27accuse each other of fraud 100%, but Trump already
00:26:30said that my electoral...
00:27:02Malik, I understand that history doesn't have a subjunctive mood, but still,
00:27:06let's fantasize.
00:27:08The people who came to Trump in February said, "Boss,
00:27:11let's start a military campaign, a brutal campaign against
00:27:15Iran with the specific task of killing
00:27:18leaders, the leader, representatives,
00:27:22that is, and leaders of the power structures within the
00:27:25country itself." At that moment, how did Trump
00:27:28envision November of that same year? Well, I think Trump
00:27:32was planning that the campaign in Iran would last only a little longer than the campaign
00:27:36in Venezuela. Well, let's say a couple of weeks, we'll quickly sort everything
00:27:39out, bring in some new reasonable comrades at the
00:27:42helm, agree with them, control the Strait of
00:27:46Hormuz. Then Trump planned a big, noisy,
00:27:49festive summer, remember Independence Day, 250 years,
00:27:52the World Cup, hair dyed, within which
00:27:56political points could also be earned. Then he could go to
00:27:59elections, and even if the Republicans lost, well, not...
00:28:193.8 liters, let's just convert dollars to rubles, they pay
00:28:22540 for 3.8 liters, yes, 550. Well, for them,
00:28:26for a country that
00:28:28is the most motorized country in the world, yes, this is simply space. They...
00:28:32Trump had his pride, Trump had his pride, the MAGA movement, those
00:28:36constant caps. So what now, will this MAGA movement bury
00:28:40Trump? Well, generally yes, we see a serious split, a crisis of this very
00:28:44movement. So it's clear that, firstly, many have distanced themselves from Trump, from Tucker
00:28:47Carlson, yes, Candace Owens, and everyone else. At that very
00:28:51party convention we discussed in Texas, the main
00:28:55headliner was not Trump, but JD Vance. He worked with
00:28:58sponsors, various ones, from Palantir to Koch, so it's already clear that
00:29:02Republicans are gradually preparing for the era
00:29:33people haven't been able to understand since 2016, is he a genius,
00:29:36or a person who has no idea what he's doing in the presidential chair, in the White
00:29:40House? Tom Sawyer, who was forced to whitewash
00:29:44the fence, he's ready to dump the work on anyone,
00:29:47present it as the greatest privilege,
00:29:51and of course, get feedback in the form of a dead rat or an apple
00:29:54core, which they also call the Nobel
00:29:57Peace Prize, yes, or so, therefore, Bin Salman's
00:30:00call for increased military...
