History Lessons for Autocrats - Аналитический интернет-журнал Власть

Members of Parliament in Kazakhstan proposed legal amendments that could lead to the banning of Azattyk, the local branch of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. This is happening against the backdrop of the ministry of foreign affairs repeatedly refusing to grant their journalists accreditation. That 36 Azattyk journalists were rejected accreditation cannot be called a coincidence.

united states when we still have u.s. citizens who are being held hostage. we need to use all instruments of national power, not just the military, including our economic, our information, as well as our diplomatic in combination with our military to be able to push back on totalitarian autocrats around the world. i feel firmly the folks i talked with in iowa who want to be the next commander in chief could meet that stepping into office day one. >> we have less than a minute left. take off your military hat and put on a political one. we had a long time political analyst in iowa saying he thinks this weather is so extremely cold, it could indeed depress turnout. what are you watching for tonight in the 30 seconds we have left? >> yeah, i'll just say, you know what, it is nearly 30 degrees below with the windchill. i shovelled out of my driveway this morning. we've got dead car batteries, and guess what, that's pretty much a standard monday in iowa when it's january. i think iowans are committed to this.

>> well, the other part which you did not mention is that they will not, they will normalize only when isaac accepts to allow the palestinians a state of their own. at the end of the day, top down normalization was autocrats will not give israel security. the only security that israel can have the genuine reconciliation with the palestinians. fareed, genuine reconciliation with the palestinians. means ending israel's military occupation. it means allowing palestinian determination. it means being a good citizen its neighborhood and being at peace with itself. this is the only way that israel can really live in peace in the region. not with this fake normalization with autocrats that will never deliver security for israel. >> always a pleasure to have you on. thank you, sir. next on gps, concerns about

they really don't care about the palestinian issue? how would you read it? >> well, the other part which you did not mention is that they will not, they will normalize only when israel accepts to allow the palestinians a state of their own. at the end of the day, top down normalization was autocrats will not give israel security. the only security that israel can have is genuine reconciliation with the palestinians. fareed, genuine reconciliation with the palestinians. means ending israel's military occupation. it means allowing palestinian self determination. it means being a good citizen its neighborhood and being at peace with itself. this is the only way that israel can really live in peace in the region. not with this fake normalization with autocrats that will never deliver security for israel. >> always a pleasure to have you on. thank you, sir.

we're seeing the same thing in the balkans and repeating the same mistakes of the �*90s. we have to stand by ukraine. it's not an option. well, you say that, but the reality on the ground is that vladimir putin believes he can outlast the west. yes. the west is full of complex democracies. vladimir putin, as we will see this year when he gets re—elected with at least... yeah. ..probably 80% of the vote, vladimir putin doesn't really have to worry about public opinion at home. isn't that the strength of not just his authoritarian regime, but other regimes that you've spent a great deal of time analysing? yes. i'm thinking in particular of your concerns about china. there is a strength to that strand of authoritarianism, which wejudge against sometimes the weakness and the vulnerability of the democracies like the one that you sit in. there is no question particularly it comes to foreign policy. autocrats have the endurance, they have the durability, but also they have the ability

autocrats have the endurance, they have the durability, but also they have the ability to throw a whole of state effort at whatever they want with no interest as to the cost to their people or the cost to their, you know, their interest and assets. i mean, you want to believe that democracies have levers that can overcome that authoritarian strength. i mean, i'm mindfulthat you are the politician who said, on march 2022, just after the invasion of ukraine by putin, you said russia is now going to feel the "titanic force of the west's economic muscle." well, you were sort of wrong, weren't you? the russian economy actually grew last year and sanctions are clearly not working. so i think sanctions are working in some way, but where we failed is that there is currently too much sanctions evasion taking place, in central asia, for example. russia has been able to rebuild its defence industrial capability, and that is where it's building its economy. but we have seen mass migration away from russia. we have seen reduced confidence in putin.

The Beat With Ari Melber

frankly, dangerous effort to fight that, trump's lawyers took those statements you just heard from trump and turned some of them basically intolegalese, as trump talks about pardoning the seditionists, and he lies and claims they are hostages because they have been subjected to the basic criminal proceedings for attacks on police and public officials. as you heard trump's violent calls to root out vermin are by serious analysts seen as an echo of autocrats and worse. so after today's hearing, the court has a big decision to make, and if the supreme court was considering staying out of this appeal and just letting jack smith go forward, well, today's arguments ironically made by the trump lawyer may have made that more likely, the supreme court is more likely to let jack smith go ahead and not intervene at this early stage to mess with and help trump. that's a reminder why in our

power in the hands of their citizens, and to give their citizens the greatest rights and freedoms. if we are not able to protect those rights and freedoms, and we increasingly are not, then who is going to fight for those rights and freedoms and other countries? we know that russia and china and iran are enemies of democracy that they are using the disinformation campaigns to undercut democracies. we know that putin wants nothing more than for america and the rest of liberal democracies to fail. and if we fail, those enemies of democracy are going to be emboldened, and the citizens are going to be fearful, and power is going to shift into the hands of the autocrats. >> what a way to, again, highlight the stakes in this election. professor walter and bryan walsh, thank you so much for joining. i really appreciate it. next, conservative crew crusade. why right-wing lawmakers are targeting our country's top universities.
