RT The News With Rick Sanchez July 12, 2024

A fact think about that for more than 10 years the words the expression assad must go has been the u. S. Mantra our official why well because hes been accused of using chemical weapons by the only independent arbiters in the syrian war a group thats called the White Helmets. But heres the problem with that they closer look as revealed but the White Helmets are really not so independent they may be arbiters but theyre not independent and to the accusations of chemical weapons usage. That too did not really hold up to scrutiny in fact look at that video right there you see that it said to purport victims being treated from a chemical attack guess what a b. B. C. Producer on the scene later came forward after the 28 team video was shot to reveal that this is fake that scene is staged to make it look like a hospital scene after a chemical attack that apparently never really happened. See the problem all along for the United States is credibility say some middle east experts is that our state department may have revealed its intentions shown its hand as we like to say maybe a little too early we picked the side right after the syrian conflict and in many cases some would argue that we actually fomented created the conditions for this violence civil war that followed but now a representative of the United States state Department Think about how a representative the envoy from the u. S. State department to syria is saying that that is no longer necessary what does that mean does that mean that the United States is now backing assad no no no no far from it but for a u. S. Envoy to say that after more than a decade of attacks against the Syrian Government that its controversial president can now stay assad can stay that is what we would call in journalism a screaming headline one that we hear on the news with rick sanchez can simply not pass up not if were going to stick to our mantra that its time to do news again. And here we go over the list of the questions we think well be asking tomorrow has the u. S. Finally given up on its demand that assad must go victory day in moscow why is world war 2 still so important to russians is a massive suck air and dust storm soon got a blanket parts of the u. S. Florida texas. But lets go ahead and begin with a story that you will probably not see anywhere else but its a very important story especially when you consider the money the lives that have been lost in what has become one of the longest and bloody as conflicts in decades this rather. That the United States is now doing out of our face in syria its a bit of a shocker here now with a look back at how syria became the bloody mess that it is as veteran journalist ben swan. A major shift toward syrian policy by the United States as the trumpet ministration now says that syrian president Bashar Al Assad does not have to go this is a major reversal of decades nearly a decade of u. S. President s and secretaries of state saying that Bashar Al Assad would have to be removed from power during a Virtual Conference hosted by a washington d. C. Based middle east think tank president from special envoy for syria said that while washington is still looking for radical changes in behavior in the assad regime the u. S. Would no longer demand that assad be removed from power the transition to democracy in syria has begun and its time for assad to get out of the way ambassador James Jeffrey stated quote we are not demanding total victory we are not saying that assad has to go but added that washington wants to see a dramatic shift in the behavior of this regime as we have seen seldom in the world his position is in stark contrast to u. S. Positions in the past in august of 2011 then president barack obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton insisted that assad must step down as the country found itself in the midst of a bloody civil war that would claim over half a 1000000 lives between 20112017 the u. S. Wasnt alone and calls for assads removal were backed by the u. K. France germany and the e. U. Assad refused and in 2014 the Obama Administration went on the train approximately 15000 rebels in jordan with the intent of overthrowing assad that program was a failure and the Administration Even admitted that only 4 or 5 of those 15000 recruits even returned to syria to fight assad by 2015 the syrian war transformed from a civil war to a war between the Syrian Government and factions of both al qaeda and isis. By the time the u. S. Reached the president ial election of 2016 the fight over what to do with assad was a major Foreign Policy topic former secretary of state clinton continued to call for direct u. S. Military intervention the bombing of syrian air fields and the removal of president assad then candidate trump said the u. S. Should stay out of syria even as the Russian Military worked with the Syrian Government to corner and drive isis out of that strongholds which leads us to this new official position of the Troop Administration that assad doesnt have to be removed from power however the administration is demanding significant changes in the way the regime conducts itself including a new round of sanctions and now its just last week that would target president assad his wife and 39 new into tease for the news with rick sanchez. For more on this were joined now by former pentagon official Michael Maloof and George Galloway was a former u. K. M. P. Michael you worked at the pentagon let me begin with you theres a come across to you as a shocker to hear us on voice saying we no longer require regime change of syria. I think its an acknowledgment that they cant remove him through it through the means that they have however its just a subject use i know jim jeffery and hes a hes a hes a slippery dude what they did was implement the caesar act which in effect is designed to cripple the restructuring the reconstruction of syria and not a not only just to aim aimed at media Family Members but also any engineering any energy any reconstruction. Anybody who wants to help syria in that effort its all designed to ultimately bring him down so its all a subterfuge so its. You know i was just to get maybe george ill bring you into this you know and i understand that a by the way what youre saying i made some phone calls today on this story and a lot of folks are agreeing with what. Youre saying that you know theyre saying that but they dont really mean it george i come from a profession where words do matter and the fact that hes coming out and saying that doesnt necessarily have to go anymore and that were not necessarily looking for regime change to me that thats half so have to have some kind of impact no. Yes its good of them to say so buzz michael says because they couldnt remove the shuttle ah south and half a 1000000 people had to leave the blood on the ground in the sand in the vain effort to remove him its an inglorious period yourselves up alone because brits. As culpable in this awful 1000000 dead people what a mountain is and of course using our proxies in the 2 gulf saudi arabia the u. A. E. Qatar all these people who are involved in trying to destroy the secular are out of brooklyn of syria even if it meant putting in power on the people that brought down the twin towers and killed thousands of americans less than 20 years ago in glorious we were the air force we were the missile force. And something even worse than the alqaeda namely the isis expression which script across the region and then across the rest of the world so its not chopped out in history that well be able to look back on with any pride toll and its been an arc to our miserable failure as well as an immoral mess. Michael to put you in the hot spot on the story most americans watching us right now have no earthly clue whats really going on in that country they just know theres a bunch of factions fighting and sometimes were on one side the russians are on another side and the turks have merit gotten in there its just too hard to keep score in the end would you recommend that we as a nation should just step aside in that conflict. Well 1st of all we were never invited in as the russians and the iranians were by the by the government there thats a legitimate government assads government whether we like assad or not he was he was voted the end is recognized by the United Nations as the leader we were never invited in we are occupy and the northeast. Ringback over the oil we are blocking humanitarian we are blocking efforts to get. In humanitarian aid into the into the country not withstanding what jeffrey said because because the effect of u. S. Sanctions caesar act no one wants to know what now wants to deal with syria so its all a slippery slope and its its all subterfuge as i pointed out good stuff gentlemen we appreciate the conversation will follow it but certainly some important words coming out of the mouth of the mr jeffries as you call him a slippery character to. The fact that the United States no longer is looking for assad to step down thank you again. Meanwhile today in moscow they are marking victory day as a solemn day of remembrance to honor the end of world war 2 while most countries do the same in some form or fashion for russians its a really big deal lie is that well the answer is simple the soviet union lost almost 30000000 people while bearing the brunt of the nazi invasion that means almost every family in russia every person in russia still has some type of connection through a Family Member who died or suffered through that invasion in other words for russian even to this day its still personal. Heres a look at some of todays commemorations with. Lots of times in central moscow i gather as much as hadzic its victory day parade traditionally picture exactly celebrated that night but this year i had to pick a spot due to the corruption of our is endemic because the 1960 is gradually improving russias appointed june the 24th to hold its military parade celebrating the 75th anniversary of victory over nazi germany on this special day 75 years ago in 1945 the 1st historical parade took place on red square commemorating the end of the 2nd world war it lasted 2 hours in the pouring rain but the joy and top in its when it became a nerd about the surrender of nazi germany overwhelmed every one of the soldiers of the red army including the defenders of moscow and leningrad and styling grad as well as those who stormed to berlin triumphantly marched along the red square before the parade they had to learn the basics of marching during the war because there had been no time for that and also in a very short time from thousands of new uniforms was sewn for all the participants so they looked to really victorious one of the most powerful moments of that parade was when the soldiers discarded the captured their mufti ban it is. The former soviet union became the main battleground of world war 2 nazi germany invaded the country in 94. 00 she won and got stuck there for me to fully get their losses were enormous and so were the losses of the red army and the local civilian population of the u. S. S. R. During the battles of stalingrad kursk and sevastopol millions and millions of lines were lost nowadays russia says that should not happen again meanwhile the 2020 prate has been particularly large scale and lasted an hour and a half 60 minutes longer than usual its become an arena when you ask. Not so new military equipment like t. 34 turns from the 2nd rule that played a decisive role in fighting the nazis more than 20 samples of the latest military equipment have also been put on display by the way to get to the parade all the gas through a check for coronavirus there was seating at a distance from each other according to sources about. 2 veterans were sent to a small resort for a 2 week quarantine before the parade so same place same time only 75 years later the victory day parade 2020 will definitely be remembered. But all about. All the pageantry and this is the news of the actually interesting youre watching our special coverage when we come back were going to be able to tell you how to know about a bizarre parent desert storm thats believe it or not serious and up and coming our way in the usa.

V. Im holland cook i invite you to climb with me of the Mainstream Media empire and from that higher fat age to glimpse the big picture question more. Now time for what i guess we could describe as an ever changing story steve chris stock goes with an update now in the world of sports and this is good this is for a change this this is good news its relieving news to many including double wallace himself and the rest of nascar in the sports world to know that he was in fact not the target of a hate crime the f. B. I. And nascar now concluded their investigation found that he was indeed not targeted because they did find Video Evidence which we do have and we can bring it up now to show that that rope that was fashioned like a new says youll see here has been there this since last fall of 2019 in that garage stall number 4 which was wallaces garage stall this past weekend and it does appear that rope is fashioned like a news but it had been there since last fall so they had some guy had made a noose last year and it was there and had nothing to do with bubba was it had nothing to do with bubble also we dont know now you know thats the other question nascar will continue an investigation to see why anybody did fashion the rope in such a way and who did it but we dont know that yet thats a good look at all things considered. Id rather find out that there wasnt some shark there doing Something Like this literally targeting the only black driver in that car that appears to not be the case so that is good you know to pivot it with a jerk i had another word right i realize.
