Eh, amazing things, tova. The minister of defense of germany once loved tver rugs , he was even the mayor of the city that became a sister city of our tver, and then at some point he changed his shoes and fell in love with american hamburgers, how this happened and why, lets figure it out. I studied russian, was in moscow, st. Petersburg, tver and other cities, those residents of russia with whom i met seemed cordial and hospitable to me. Boris pistorius has good russian, although he was born in western germany in the sixties year in lower saxony, claims that he chose this language because there was such an opportunity, and even took it at the final exams, although it is generally known that in the west no one simply chooses the russian language, and one fact is that in his native osnabruck there is clearly a sister city of tver, there are clearly 11 sister cities there, you could learn chinese, korean, turkish, dutch at worst, but each action has. I have a question that is forbidden to ask in germany, here you can ask any questions. On september 25, 2001, Vladimir Putin gave a speech in the bundestag. Everyone stood up and applauded. Why didnt our chancellor olaf scholz sit down at the negotiating table with Vladimir Putin the day before the start of the war . He did not dare to do this for such a long time. This war would never have happened if everything had been decided through diplomatic channels. Vladimir putin has proposed negotiations several times, but the media does not show this. Weve gone crazy. Now we import energy to germany from eight countries, before this everything was fine. Please ask your question. Now its my turn, excuse me, the fundamental point is this, if i have the right to express my opinion, this does not mean that i should be applauded for it, i need to clearly understand this, yes, there is no right to this, excuse me, freedom of expression means freedom of expression, but not the right to applause, period, the mother of ursula pistorius, deputy chairman of the social democrats in lantag, lower saxony, enrolled her son in the party red for another 16 years. After that, boris wiped his pants for decades in various lower saxon departments , he rose only to the rank of assistant assistant. Years later, as if taking revenge on the reticent boss, he openly began an affair with doris kopf, at that time still the legal wife of schroeder. When the matter was revealed, pistorius retreated to the chair of saxonys police minister. His task was to turn a blind eye to the development of weapons commissioned by the usa at the friedrich lofler institute. The institute was held during the great patriotic war. Military demiologists removed 3,500 blood serum samples citizens living in 25 regions of ukraine were promoted to the federal level for their compliance. In 2019, pistorius competed with scholz for the post of head of the social democrats, so the latter had to put aside previous differences. Before the next ramstein, the states demanded a conspiratorial minister. He is not just a friend and an excellent politician. But also someone who has extensive experience in the security field, he has worked closely and openly with the bundeswehr, including in his previous position, he is endowed with strength and calmness, which necessary for such a big task in view of the current times of change. Having little to do with the appointment of his own minister of defense, scholz immediately handed pesturius into the hands of overseas bosses. Pentagon chief lloyd osin reminded boris that her predecessor , christina lambrecht, was dismissed due to the disruption of arms supplies to ukraine. Pistorius hesitated for a week after the meeting with stolteng and the call from washington. The first leopards moved towards zishov. After many years of savings in the bundeswehr. There was a lack of equipment. Weapons supplies breaches are being made in ukraine where there is already a shortage. We, of course, can hardly tell ukraine that we are suspending aid. The rusty, crumbling bundeswehr pistorius intends to make the best army in europe, at the expense of american weapons and at the cost of losing military sovereignty. Germany will purchase emrem helicopters and missiles for 11 billion euros. And pyatriots, irises and cheetahs, cities called winter, have already gone to ukraine. Package worth a billion euros. We will do Everything Possible to help ukraine in the field of security has not collapsed since the conflict in the middle east. When i watch such a story, i immediately get the feeling that there is very serious dirt on estorius in the United States, because he needs to change his shoes very quickly and very competently. And although sometimes he still loses his temper, and here i immediately draw the attention of our respected profilers, because here is his recent conversation, well, i wouldnt even say conversation, but such a conversation in a raised voice happened with the mayor of kiev vitali klitschko, in general , see for yourself, us we need a little more, we need a longrange taurus, thanks to which we can destroy the command posts of the russian army. Its amazing to me why we keep emphasizing this little aspect on which we dont have 100 consensus. Why is there no emphasis on the help we provide . Yes, we were hesitant about leopard tanks because we were waiting for america to make a move. But now we have become the most important supplier of tanks, the most important supplier of ammunition. We have increased the production of ammunition for selfpropelled guns cheetah. And im surprised that this little issue is constantly being emphasized without acknowledging the incredible support weve already provided. Oh, look, hes all flushed, there are rumors about him that hes a fairly selfpossessed person, he s clearly losing his temper, what happened here, in general, hes such a comrade, a little wellmannered, lets say, that is, accustomed to be under a certain control, kept within certain limits, you can compare it just in different interviews, which here it is gave it to a journalist there, he was so more measured, calmer, but here his question clearly seemed to boil, we can see right there the knitted eyebrows, increased gesticulation there, she becomes more tense in herself, and more choppy, that just in principle indicates this boiling, this anger, anger is usually an emotion of obstacles, that is , when a person feels that he is not able to cope with some. Opinion, but he still has resource to resistance, then there is some kind of alternative point of view, and he tried , lets say, to put things in their place a little, to remind some factors here in general, to put them in place absolutely, but there is a moment, after the end of this angry speech, his redness goes away from his face and he smiles very sweetly at his interlocutor, on the left hand, and right away at that , but i think that here this is some kind of manipulation, he is trying to bully mr. Klyuchko, because mr. Now ill say, maybe not very beautiful, but theres no other way to say it knows where to lick and where to bite, for him a nickname is an easy victim, and he just took this opportunity and decided to tell him to attack him, then, you know, he has one interesting manner, at the moment when he is asked about something in other interviews, even when talking about neutral things, he finds some external enemy, some external interlocutor , who may not even exist, he tries , you know, to bully Something Like that, now i ll just give an example very quickly, it means that they are asking , what grains are acceptable in germany, conditionally, he says, grains, grains, great, ill tell you, they will be even larger, and after that he begins to speak very softly and evenly, this is such a model of behavior, he is a manipulator, then it gets more interesting, a few days after this situation another one happens, ramstein goes through, is discussed Contact Group for ukraine, and pistorius suddenly doesnt come to it, but he refers to the coronavirus, but the day before he gives an interview, here is an excerpt from his interview. Actually the day before. We supply additional ammunition explosive ammunition, mortar, mine missiles, because ammunition is what ukraine most urgently needs in its defensive struggle. In addition, we will help with protected equipment and mine clearance systems, but we do not forget about the approaching winter. We will send not only clothes, but also electric and heat generators. In total, the cost of the military aid package. Will amount to 400 million euros. And not a word about taurus. And following the results of this meeting, lloyd osin, secretary of defense of the United States, speaks. And lists what actual weapons will be supplied to ukraine, and taurus is not among them. M1 abrams tanks, which the United States promised to transfer to ukraine, will soon arrive in ukraine. Since we last met, the United States has provided additional Security Assistance packages totaling more than 2 billion. These packages include the necessary air defense equipment, ammunition and we saw this situation already with tanks, when germany took the principled position that we would not supply any leopards until the United States took the first step. Is history repeating itself, what is the game here . When the situation with leopards happened in january 23, firstly, pistorius had just taken office, he did not yet have all the necessary political weight to make such decisions, he was still bargaining a little with the United States so that this these colossal reputational risks, especially the involvement of nato in direct confrontation with russia, were borne not by germany, but by the United States of america, which is why he you said it first, and we said it after you, its about leopards. As for the taurus missiles, this product is very interesting, it has a destruction radius of about 500 km, these are the longestrange missiles that hypothetically. Could be delivered to ukraine, again we remember the reputational risks, pistorius does not want germany to be that country, which is responsible for the very likely strike of such a missile deep into russian territory. Well, that is, it turns out that he is giving ultimatums to the United States for the second time, because let me remind you how has the leopard situation been resolved . At first he fights back, pestorius fights back, then he abruptly leaves for the United States, he. Meets there with lloyd austin and salivon and after that they instantly make a decision, but the americans deliver the first one tank, it seems there is Something Interesting there there was a game that now, does he really have any aces up his sleeve to blackmail someone , well, i think that of course he has no aces up his sleeve, but he needs to work for Public Opinion inside germany, yes, then yes, we are now seeing, firstly, an increase in fatigue in German Society from the war in ukraine and from germanys participation in this conflict, fatigue in society from the war and from the falling standard of living, and so on, here are the latest surveys that, for example, the british conducted in germany , show that the majority of germans, they are already in favor of a complete renunciation of military support for kiev for a truce with russia, and Boris Pistorius at the moment, in my opinion, he even surpasses scholz in ratings, he is the most popular politician with the selfdemocratic parties, and if, for example, elections were held in the near future, i think that it was borisarius, they would lead the leader of their party and the candidate for chancellor like this, that is, he needs, on the one hand, to work for. Public opinion within germany itself, to explain to them , what you see, the americans were the first to supply their otax missiles, albeit in small quantities, and we got involved after them, the americans certainly will not supply them in large quantities. They will not supply attacks, there are not many of them in the pentagon warehouses, about 2,500, but now we are hearing about that a couple they will supply dozens, well, the europeans will continue to force them to take off their shoes in this conflict, yes, the british are already depleting their reserves of shadow curtains, the french are saying that they also dont have many scalps left, so they can. Time to reduce supplies to ukraine, but germany remains. Germany doesnt have that many taurus, but they also dont have that much political weight in this intranato confrontation, so i think that, unfortunately, for us, let them make a decision and install the taurus. Another thing is that, since there are not so many of them, if im not mistaken, the german militaryindustrial complex does not produce them at the moment, well, this will be such a problem, but a temporary one, but unfortunately a problem. Sergey, when we now consider the personality of pistorius, we understand perfectly well that germany, today, is perfect. As it was and is, remains an occupied country, it does not have its own will , it has no sovereignty, for everyone to make any decisions, you need to go to washington, consult in washington, then act further, but pistorius for today day, he is a very balanced figure for america, he will nod his head when necessary, when not necessary, he will simply remain silent, this is the person who is a very good compromise for them, for what . For the process of launching. New military industrialization and civilian deindustrialization , which they talk about all the time in washington, you are europeans , it is germany that should support ukraine more, produce more weapons, you have reduced military programs, and lets change, you are your factories, automobiles , factories, chemical production in america, and we will help you here and we will help you with money, develop the military industry, that is, such an exchange turns out, epistol. A person is a civilian at his core, he becomes an exponent not of american ideas, exclusively, but of certain transatlantic ideas, because in essence, when he is his own. In a certain market, including a base for the production of weapons, and these are such plans, he acts as a representative of atlanticism and as a representative of global governments. Is pistorius generally a man of the democrats and a man of biden, or is he playing his game, and maybe hes just trying to wait to see what will happen in washington, and this is why he has this position that they will say, and then well get there and then well say it. In my opinion, pistorius is a typical german technocrat of the postwar era, who has gone through the long path of a party functionary, he is absolutely ambivalent to this or that emotional and political beating, he does what he is told, he is told to dig, he will dig, he is told, dont dig, as they say, cook the pot, dont cook the pot, here he is really a representative, namely the transatlanticoriented Political Class of germany, coming from such nonprofit organizations as the atlantic bridge, the Foreign Policy council, the american one, so pistoriot here will simply voice the opinion embedded in him, its actually like such a talking head, therefore, whoever is in the white house, we all understand perfectly well, there are republicans and democrats, yes, now the republicans are pecking at biden for zelskys failures, for the fact that ukraine is actually becoming a black hole, but in this regime, in this regime financialmilitary drip, they can support ukraine for decades, this is not vietnam, from where hundreds, tens of thousands of coffins of american soldiers came and which consumed a huge amount of expenses, this is not even afghanistan, from where they fled, abandoning a huge amount of equipment, the militaryindustrial complex works, europe is gradually losing its subjectivity, losing its economic sovereignty, the coffins of american us soldiers are not coming from ukraine, everything is fine, one profit, the role of pistorius in this situation, just a technical person, who signs the relevant documents, as for taurus and hesitation, but this is similar to hesitation with tanks, discussions were held, at that moment preparations were already underway for storage bases of one or another military equipment, as for taurus, well , probably the carriers are waiting, because the 24 there are two or three left for ukraines arsenal, that is, this is some kind of attempt to play with Public Opinion, it turns out, yes , that is, its kind of like showing ours, according to pistorius, im interested in one more fact, so im not in vain the beginning of our program mentioned that he was once from one of the cities of lower saxony and this city was a sister city with tver, they spoke of him as a person and even a russophile, and he himself said that, generally speaking, he loves russians, he understands, lets lets see, by the way, i spoke russian quite well, because there was such an opportunity in my gymnasium, i even unofficially worked as a translator for a sports and cultural delegation, i have been to russia several times. I was in moscow, st. Petersburg, then still leningrad, in tver and other cities. I was there last once in 2008, when it was still the past. Larisa sherbakova is a person who worked at that time in the tver administration and hosted pistorius as a guest. And larisa, we welcome you. Tell us how it was. We even have photographs of him and him in our national costumes. This was just tver. The pictures were taken in 2007, because he was very proud of the fact that he had some slavic roots, he studied russian, and when it turned out that he became the wretched mayor of the city of twin city tver, naturally, being in this russian environment, he was very interested in everything, right down to what they eat, what traditions, what they wear, what clothes, and knowing this in advance, we prepared such a gift for him, this shirt, a linen shirt, made from flax, which is grown in the tver province and is embroidered with tver patterns, and they fed and fed with rugs, of course, the food was the most russian for them, as always, i can tell you, such a thing, when we found out that he became a minister defense, you even know, it seemed to us that now probably, the person came who would somehow change his attitude towards russia and the russian people, towards us, towards the russians, but nevertheless. When we then began to hear such remarks, some, this is konecksberg, lets do something else, some kind of aggression, of course, we, honestly , we calculated a little, well, we understand that it is the puppeteers who rule there, but this man, he is also controlled, he is bein
