Latest / INSIGHT TODAY / Russia WARNS US over Trump's nuclear testing order
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So Russia now responding after President Trump called for the
- 0:02Speaker 1: US to resume nuclear testing, with the Kremlin saying, quote,
- 0:06Speaker 1: all countries are developing their system defense systems, but this
- 0:09Speaker 1: is not a nuclear test. If someone abandons the moratorium,
- 0:12Speaker 1: Russia will act accordingly. Joining US now is retired four
- 0:15Speaker 1: star General Fox New's senior strategic analyst, chairman of the
- 0:18Speaker 1: Institute of his Study for War, General Jack Keane. General,
- 0:22Speaker 1: what's your reaction to the president saying what he said
- 0:25Speaker 1: be the first time since ninety two we test in
- 0:27Speaker 1: Russia's response?
- 0:30Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's been speculation for years, Brian, that you know,
- 0:34Speaker 2: Russia and China are secretly testing nuclear warheads. Whether that's
- 0:39Speaker 2: a fact or not remains to be seen. I mean,
- 0:41Speaker 2: certainly Trump president gets classified information, whether that's the reality
- 0:48Speaker 2: or not. But I also think that what's likely happening
- 0:51Speaker 2: here is Russia just recently announced that the testing of
- 0:54Speaker 2: delivery systems a cruise missile and an underwater drone, not
- 0:58Speaker 2: the warheadary systems of a potential warhead itself, and the
- 1:03Speaker 2: President may be reacting to something like that. Listen where
- 1:07Speaker 2: the president is on nuclear nuclear warheads and nuclear weapons.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Is he wants to see a de escalation of it.
- 1:14Speaker 2: He wants to see a reduction of it. He's not
- 1:16Speaker 2: looking for any escalation of this whatsoever. And you know,
- 1:20Speaker 2: he's attempted to bring China and Russia together to work
- 1:23Speaker 2: towards that end, and China has stiffed that process entirely.
- 1:27Speaker 2: And as we all know, Russia is increasing they're nuclear weapons,
- 1:30Speaker 2: particularly their tactical nuclear weapons. So I think more to
- 1:34Speaker 2: follow on here on the pathway.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Ahead, President says, I give it a twelve out of
- 1:39Speaker 1: a one to ten scale. As meeting with President Shei,
- 1:42Speaker 1: they didn't really bring up Taiwan. I know that's a
- 1:44Speaker 1: big focus of our war games and our worries. We
- 1:47Speaker 1: got Japan and South Korea to commit to spending more
- 1:50Speaker 1: on defense. How would you rate from what we know,
- 1:52Speaker 1: how would you rate the trip?
- 1:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I would give it pretty high marks. I mean
- 1:59Speaker 2: the whole trip itself and also with President she I.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Mean President Trump walked into that meeting with she is
- 2:05Speaker 2: the undisputed world's global leader, a position that President she
- 2:10Speaker 2: has stated time and time again that they want to
- 2:13Speaker 2: replace the United States as a world's global leader. And
- 2:16Speaker 2: there's no doubt that President Trump has win that is
- 2:19Speaker 2: back in this thing. Look at he China's partner, a
- 2:23Speaker 2: major partner in Iran has been set back for years
- 2:26Speaker 2: by Israel and the United States. And look at Russia,
- 2:29Speaker 2: and they're in their fourth year of the war. They
- 2:31Speaker 2: haven't taken a major city since twenty two. They've gained
- 2:35Speaker 2: zero point six percent in the last year. They've taken
- 2:38Speaker 2: over a thousand casualties a year. This last defensive has
- 2:41Speaker 2: failed to accomplish any of its objectives. Their economy is tanking,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and now they're getting sanctions imposed on them. And also
- 2:49Speaker 2: President Trump is upgutting Ukraine militarily. So Russia is a
- 2:54Speaker 2: much more weakened position than what took place almost three
- 2:59Speaker 2: or four years ago when they decided to form this partnership.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Look at it now. So yes, I think major accomplishments here.
- 3:07Speaker 2: They've been noted certainly here on Fox for the last
- 3:10Speaker 2: twenty four hours. The one thing I would say about
- 3:13Speaker 2: the temporary truce here and the reduction and attentions President
- 3:18Speaker 2: she in the past has failed to come through with
- 3:21Speaker 2: his promises. Yep, much like putin fentanyl seven years ago,
- 3:25Speaker 2: made a deal to reduce it didn't happen. A number
- 3:28Speaker 2: of years ago, in the first Trump negotiation with him,
- 3:32Speaker 2: he agreed to purchase American products to the tune of
- 3:36Speaker 2: five hundred billion dollars. He came up short two hundred
- 3:39Speaker 2: and eleven billion. He's made more promises here with fentanyl,
- 3:43Speaker 2: made more promises with purchasing and the like. We see
- 3:47Speaker 2: out to see if he keeps his promises. And certainly
- 3:51Speaker 2: the Trump administration is very much aware of the shortcomings
- 3:54Speaker 2: coming out of the last deal.
- 3:55Speaker 1: And general remember last time that was signing twenty nineteen.
- 3:57Speaker 1: The president's terms up in twenty twenty. This time, if
- 4:00Speaker 1: you're going to screw us, we got three and a
- 4:02Speaker 1: half years to deal with you. Differently, Also, China supporting
- 4:06Speaker 1: the Iranian missile program. They're sending some of the materials
- 4:09Speaker 1: there so Ron can rebuild. We could easily clamp down
- 4:12Speaker 1: on that. We've spotted it. The Wall Street Journal has
- 4:14Speaker 1: a story I'd love for you to comment on, and
- 4:16Speaker 1: that is the President's looking at military sites in Venezuela.
- 4:20Speaker 1: They blew up another one of the drug boats yesterday.
- 4:23Speaker 1: How serious do you think the president is on this?
- 4:25Speaker 1: Or is this to rattle Maduro's cage? So he goes
- 4:28Speaker 1: for a smooth exit.
- 4:31Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we know that answer, but clearly
- 4:34Speaker 2: bringing an aircraft carrier into this is clearly a demonstrational force.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I've always said, as an army guy, the symbol of
- 4:42Speaker 2: American military superiority is an aircraft carry If you had
- 4:45Speaker 2: to pick one thing, that is it, and we're bringing
- 4:49Speaker 2: that there. Obviously, it has fighters on board that can
- 4:52Speaker 2: do damage on land to Madua's drug labs and other
- 4:57Speaker 2: things that are supporting. They're not go trapped locating that
- 5:00Speaker 2: he's doing, you know, narco trafficking and his government has
- 5:03Speaker 2: become one and the same because he's taking the revenue
- 5:06Speaker 2: from it. That's unprecedented throughout Latin America and the collusion
- 5:11Speaker 2: that's taken place there, and that's why the pressure is.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I think the pressure is on the people supporting Maduro,
- 5:18Speaker 2: the elites putting this kind of pressure on them, saying,
- 5:21Speaker 2: why do we continue to support this guy when he's
- 5:24Speaker 2: bringing all of this down on on us? And obviously
- 5:26Speaker 2: we're going to start losing the revenue as a result
- 5:29Speaker 2: of his association with the narco traffickers. Whether he actually
- 5:33Speaker 2: uses the fighters to take down the drug labs itself
- 5:36Speaker 2: remains to be seen. We don't know the answer to that,
- 5:39Speaker 2: but that certainly is something he's threatening, and certainly he
- 5:43Speaker 2: would like to see these elites force Maduro out of power.
- 5:47Speaker 2: I don't think there's any plan here to conduct the
- 5:49Speaker 2: physical regime change, which would obviously be a military invasion
- 5:54Speaker 2: of Venezuela, but certainly the president would accept and his
- 5:57Speaker 2: team the elites move Madua out of there. There's some
- 6:01Speaker 2: kind of transition, and I think that is one of
- 6:04Speaker 2: the objectives that the CIA is also trying to achieve
- 6:07Speaker 2: by undermining this regime inside the country.
- 6:10Speaker 1: In general, as Hu was always Holmie, one of the
- 6:11Speaker 1: big things is not only are they a dictatorship and
- 6:15Speaker 1: hostile to us, but they have their arms open to Iran,
- 6:19Speaker 1: to Russia and to China, right, And that's a very
- 6:22Speaker 1: rich count, has a lot of resources in that country,
- 6:25Speaker 1: and the president does not want to tolerate it anymore.
