All right, Alexander, let's talk about the pushback that is coming from China and Russia,

pushback with regards to the blockade against Cuba and also push back against the United States

and its ramp up towards a conflict with Iran.

What is going on here?

Yeah, it's very interesting because we've now had extraordinary rhetoric

from the administration, from the U.S. administration.

And, of course, what crystallized it was this extraordinary speech

that Marker Rubio gave at the Munich Security Conference,

which we've analysed, we've discussed it in a program.

And in that speech, basically Rubio outlined an Uber neocon project for American imperialism around the world.

Now, Rubio was not the only superpower foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference.

Wang Yi was there as well.

Now, Wang Yi isn't just China's foreign minister, but he's also Xi Jinping's national security

advisor.

And over the last couple of weeks, we've been having very intense discussions between

the Chinese and the Russians, Putin's national security advisor, the man who is secretary of the Russian Security Council.

Shoygu was in Beijing, and Putin and Xi Jinping had a long virtual conference with each other,

of a sort that is starting to look rather more interesting than perhaps it first

appeared.

Anyway, Wang Yi also spoke, and he basically set out not just a different agenda from

Rubios, but I would say an opposing agenda to Rubios.

He basically forswore imperialism of the kind that Rubio was talking about.
