This is the French Vistula Debating Society. I'm John Bachelors,

welcoming Professor H.J. McHenner, International Relations,

to comment on six capitals and six points of view in the Ukraine conflict,

which is turning into geopolitical reorganizing the furniture for the 21st century.

Some call them blocks, some call them areas of interest, regions of interest,

or loan. However, right now we have a contest between what appears to be the Russian Federation.

It's ally China, the People's Republic of China, and what appears to be NATO.

Not so says the Kremlin most recently. I go to the Financial Times headline in these last hours.

Vladimir Putin's new doctrine calls US main source of threat to Russian security, the first paragraph.

The Kremlin has adopted a new foreign policy doctrine, which identifies the US as the,

quote, main source of threats, end quote, to Russian security, describing Russia as a, quote,

distinctive state civilization, with a, quote, unique historical mission.

Showing a picture of Vladimir Putin looking not too focused behind his desk.

Professor, a very good evening to you. Moscow's point of view.

At this point, wants to identify the US as the driver of the disruption in Eurasia.

How do you measure Moscow now after all these very strange decisions that have been made about mobilization,

about assaulting back mode, about throwing missiles against the infrastructure?

And now they claim the US did it. Good evening to you.

Good evening. Well, what you, you, you talked about a rearrangement of everything.

And what's becoming clearer, really, with every passing week, is as we, we say, almost every week,

that war termination is going to be the challenge we face, and that we haven't talked about it scarcely at all.

And that, that you have to get that right.
