Or a gentleman, cross stock rules and effect. That means you can jump any time you want. And i always appreciate. Lets go to michael 1st in new york, im titling this program attempted suicide given whats going on the last 6 months in europe in the western world in general. Do you send an appropriate title for whats going on . Well, im not sure that they are realizing that its suicide. Its more so theyre following a u. S. Policy, which is the u. S. Wants to kill europe, but really think it over the americans are the great beneficiaries of this, especially the oil industry that is cleaning up as the oil prices go up and thats strengthening the dollar. The euros going down, the british pound is absolutely punching its right now. 1. 15 this morning and the, apparently, the europe is run by nato amount by the elected politicians. And miss bare bach of the foreign secretary said yesterday in poland, but she doesnt care what the european voters while shes going to support your brain. Well, imagine the politicians saying they dont care what the voters say that shes in there. And she is going to do what shes agreed with the United States to do to boycott russia. Let me, let me go to going to go to parent shop. I mean, how do you explain that . I mean, i agree with everything that michael just said there. Im but i thought europe in america were comrades in arms and it comes to their proxy war against russia. But, you know, the, the, the, the 2 players to get the short end of the sake are obviously ukraine and europe. But, you know, in europe, this seems to continue to cow to washington when its not in there, no interest whatsoever. Is there any explanation for that . Go ahead in paris. I want to emphasize, you know, the us, were going to vote jim bio flies and there was a was name, i forgot the one you said that the ball brimming was that the additional. Busy to the media, and then with the newspaper. I mean the amount of nice that being said to when they thing, but hes been here for the additions. And the restriction is enormous. To support said that the war was uncovered. It was northern pablo. Was a military been diagnosed or choose or job ladings, gang human law shayna was again simply a commentator. I say that repeatedly since 2014 jesse sac sydney went by the end of 2021 to the white house to tell them, you know, this is going to be to war and the white house. Were not going to discuss with the russians, nor we, thats the 1st the, then they said that the National Economy is going to collapse. They would say that my cost that by then says that the mayor was the frenchman still fit for. We can only say that didnt collapse. Now would they say we would have to set up a democracy in so nobody said that that would be nobody wellness. That would be just none of the options are going to collapse. No, she goes yet or that you have to suffer to win the warning in what will end the war and show you where the americans are choosing their business in the county where hes read is bonding. She didnt, she was told to suffer from that every with project that, that we actually go to. So shut off on the not receiving train level one over. Well, i think thats a good. Let me go to a draw on that point there. Ok. Lets talk about this suffering ok, but its not the, this is an elite driven war in the west. This is what they want. This is a proxy war against russia. Ukraine is a footnote and all of this. And so we have to suffer, but not the people to make the decisions dont suffer. Everybody else does. And thats what makes this conflict different for the west, because nobody really suffered for afghanistan or iraq in the west. Ok. But now its all coming home and you have to suffer, but were not going to suffer. Go ahead in london. So it will not let me go to london here. Go ahead london, will you absolutely right, pizza, but at the same time we have to bear in mind that we are a collective society. So in europe, in europe, in european union, we are complicit in this great life. I mean, we are talking about the politicians that they lied to us. But what about the economist . What about the public intellectuals, what about the journalist and economists who are perfectly aware of what is happening and they are complicit and taking part in this great lie. I mean, no one in the new in the western newspapers, meetings, mainstream newspapers, and intellectual public intellectuals, a, they have a rise and a voice against it. I mean, everyone is just supporting it because because of the, you know, indoctrination with this liberal indoctrination throughout the years here in european union, in United Kingdom and across the west. Some of the very intelligent when i was use the last you a citation calling intelligent. He had idiots. People was, you know, well versed in economics, in politics in geopolitics, are still believing it is worth suffering or to, to achieve some, you know, it was already goal, which is, which is not going to be a good area. Im glad you brought this up. Give me just ask you real quickly here before i go to michael, you know, particularly with this crisis thats been generated in ukraine, i am really sick and tired of smart people saying really stupid things. Ok. And its empirically provable. Ok, michael, i mean youre the economist here. Europe is decided to de industrialize. Is that a good idea . I mean, that lack of competitiveness. I mean, it is a want to become a backwater and it talk about washington winning. Do they want to win a part of the world that used to be rich . That is growing, that theres going to become very, very poor very, very quickly if they dont change course michael in new york. Well, either have not been official critiques of supporting ukraine. Other Financial Times and the other papers have made it very clear that are in england, the cost of heating your home is going to go up. 505000. 00 pounds per year. Theyve said half of the pumps in england, theyre going to have the clothes. They havent talked about the industrialized. Theyre talking 1st of all about forcing most of the waging population into depth, or as simply unable to heat the homes. Theyre talking about closing down much of the consumer economy in germany. Theyre talking about the closing. Theyve closed down the german Steel Industry. Theyve because he still uses energy. Theyve closed down the fertilizer we talk before. Theyve turn to close down the get glass industry. Italy is especially hardly heard. So what the press is talking about is how europe in the industry is being dismantled and once dismantled, it cannot be started again. Thats the important thing. When the Steel Industry Company Closes down, its very hard to started up again. So were talking about a permanent loss of markets and the americans are saying, well, we are, were going to be the gainers. Because number one, we can produce steel. We are importing all the oil from russia that we want. We control our companys own Steel Companies abroad. So the american control companies in his l. Michael lilian and are in let me interrupt you for a 2nd. But my hang on hang on. But you know, if, if this is what theyre doing to europe in europe, will not be a consumer for american good. So its kind of a double loss here. Let me show you want to jump in in paris. Go ahead. Well, because now they say that all the sanctions in worker, you know, the russian economy connected me. We work in the long term. How do they know that she way should we trust that we would . I mean the problem of having the smart people in charge i dont know. You see she think hubig for example used to being somebody was writing Childrens Book is no Training Academy and he says things like, oh oh companies are going to be banker. They were just not self or way. Okay. So is your big, she does it what happens . Okay. Theyre not going to come in and they say theyre going to give money with others. And when it comes, when theyre going to print more money and printing money or, or his tax is 1. 00 of these things are going to solve the fact that their lack of energy and the lack of energy comes. I mean, why did it cause the way to destroy the, the Nuclear Energy industry . I mean, in transit, the cleans managed to get well the most that rounds and Technology Dead world since you did your energy. This is, im sorry, the agencies of religion are in there. Well, it shall in harmony, the areas as i have a whole of the fascinating where, but then when michael, where does this come from . I mean, it sounds like an ideological obsess and, and how, i mean, damn the facts. I mean i, this is what i cant, i cant get my head around this. Ok. I mean, you know, the, everyone is aware of whats going on in the real economy here. But there is no policy. Should you have this list trust . I mean, oh my god, theyre going from bad to worse in the u. K. I mean, this is a craving choice. Thats what makes this so bizarre. Michael, it is the logical but they have also calculated how the United States will gain a from france. You mentioned the magic word bankruptcy. The real losers in this will be many of the backs and euro, because the banks are going to have many of their customers defaulting. Their already fallen bank that so what were talking about is not simply did the realization, but a bank raises the americans now have a chat to come in and i have the american banks by the european banks. So what this is, yes, its going to knock. I, europe, down the americans can maintain control. Theyre not really concerned about losing the consumer markets. Theyre concerned about control and control of other countries. And they imagine that this. Busy will somehow strengthen their diplomatic position by being able to control europe. So its a, the etiology is not simply anti russian li, ileal. And she is wanting to control all the rest of the world. Because if you cannot control it, they might do something that the americans dont like. Thats the mentality that theology at work here. Yeah, it doesnt have much to do with people. Does it . I mean they, they, that son who the least of their concerns are, are gentlemen, im going to jump in here. Were going to go to a short break. And after that short break will continue a discussion on the crisis in europe state with our team. Ah ah ah, watching it was a what a national z m a a ah welcome back to crossing. Were all Things Considered . Im peter level to remind you were discussing the crisis in europe. Ah. Okay, lets go back to our guest in paris. Id like to quote something that the french president mclaren said a few days ago. Frances, that a quote Tipping Point in the country, essentially, and facing now quote, an era of abundance coming to an end. Thats an extraordinary thing for a major western leader to say, basically that the show is over live with less or abundance are the, the, the what the, what we presented to the world as a model has come to an end. I mean, how did that guy get reelected, how the end of these people get, again elected or reelected . When you say the era of abundance is over . Because the global south doesnt believe that thats why theyre continuing to by fossil fuels because they want their future to be prosperous. But europe is given up, which are how do you explain that . Well, of course, it does. Here it does provoke many negative reactions in south 10000000 people in france will, even though the poverty line. And of course again, as i said, there was no, not the world of apology for the fact that this is a result of the sanctions on the now, even that is the result of the sanctions and the window sanctions were vacant was going to be f o t, when they were that were going to suffer the russians were going to suffer. But you see on the edges you go aspect. I think there is also the question of german adventures. Them with the friends on to understand. I mean, the germans, always a thing had when the back of their mind, the sort of preventable world war 2, which was also revengeful, were one of you, i remember, but sure me there at men in emmys, russia, and then you see the revenge did not come home, the old conservative hi, this is sure wished house, et cetera, game from the progressive, the games in the social democrats who against den, if youre with that in the eightys on, they were for the priest in the did the take taking go, but jeff, another so we look, thinking that job now is a peaceful counseling. We can all live together happily thereafter. And of course, what happens now is that germany wanted control over the whole of you or he and you look against osha with you. So by the way, and of course they are miscalculated or the name of the idea that the result would be well, so favorable to them because they seemed to destroy the income at me in that, of course, not going to be the low a strength of them but they suddenly thought they were going to, oh yeah. And in a sense, get them again and again, skiing as a see from the more progressing issue with my treatment missing and some of the pieces are more so because this is agatha with these guys that he the goods on nothing thing. And then hes also decided that they dont have the high that the americans have the transit german ish, french, german, english, my know, it was another county were subjected to people that are going to stick with on the people the for 8 years. It will take 8 years the my dish and they did the full turn. I was wondering if you had to get all the americans at that canada because they were american students, american medical students, their last a pa, christie, chrissy, is, is, is, is there a calling card here michael . I want you to reflect upon what my crown said because this, this improves a without a doubt in my mind that neil liberalism is collapsed for the interests of the vast majority of the people that it rolls over. I mean, thats an admission. Thats an admission right . There and what does it talk about . Considering what john had to say, what it has to say about european unity in western college arity. I dont see it at all. I mean, if the elite lose all this, they dont care, its their turn off. The lights that its, its really a very, very cynical approach. Go ahead, michael. When you say that the abundance is over, what that means is its time for and austerity program. And i am a foster already program. And the real question is, what are africa and south america and south asia going to do . Are they going to be a part of this . Or are they going to say, we need an alternative to austerity program. So theres no need of all for the era of abundance and for us others, no technological problem. There is a military and a financial problem. And the problem of american policy that brought this about the problem is, well, china, russia, india, and iran, and other neighboring countries. Create a set of alternative institutions to the american neo liberal i m f and world bank. And they, are they going to create a new kind of an economy on different lines from the west. That really is what the question is. And so europe is giving a demonstration of how not to run a country. And im, i hope that other parts of the world are looking at this and say, there is an alternative Margaret Thatcher was wrong. Or if a, russia, china, india, and other countries to create an alternative set of institutions independent from ballard diploma. So i think thats very much already happening. We have bricks and so many other organizations that its, its in through time. And this is a, an important catalyst to move it along further because it, because of sanctions and secondary sanctions, nobody wants to get involved in that. You know, the, the fear that comes out of washington only serves their interests and no one else is just, you know, is there any way i, maybe this is a silly question, but is there any way back to undo this on ring this bell, this craven choice that the europeans have taken because you know, it, the weather is cooling down here in moscow is going to be called here pretty soon. And what happens in the east weather rise just goes to the west. Its only a matter of time. Go ahead and paris was, as i told you before, the problem with european Decision Maker with helping union you, theres no legitimacy whatsoever. The go on chelsea. Lawson will like that. What the role and things of them as legitimacy or historical reason that these people are not level, given my course, some sort of support or minority to support the for some people with these people have been elected to their only reason to be there is theyre expecting theyre supposed to be expert again, but if they were complete the home, then they can go, begins to theres nothing that legitimize them. And so definitely to just get more the, the gum. When i think its only going to go from contesting the street, but the possessing the street must be pretty, pretty serious because you know, they mobilize the police and the army and sung as he was in holland already with the farmers. I mean, its going to be pretty tough because before they had made the sheet before they had which, and of course they keep on saying, are the, you know, the suggestion of fancy, which is working on this a little transition. Jessica and jessica sensors are you over, i mean its going to be very bloody oh is going to change but, but i agree. Elicited the other thing with the sanctions that not only did not work with the destroyer economic, they dont is going to question in the bush, russia to be ever closer to china and to india. They will join maneuver, who being that link and china would have joined i knew yeah. How dream that there would be a push ma between turkey and syria origin. So the re been had all these things happening now as a result of russian diplomacy. And thats the worst thing from the Worst Nightmare story from the point of europe in china, getting close to russia is the kissinger nightmare. And theyre provoking, thats what well do. Everything that can go home for them and ill be there even cover. But we dont have all that we have to with anson. I. Lets go back to michael in new york. Well, where do we go from here . Because there seems to be an admission of defeat. They dont have any tools left in their toolbox. Theyre essentially telling everyone we have to suffer and they have no vision for the future. I mean, what is going well, you know, after the conflict is and come to an end. What then sanctions will remain. They have no, they have no plan. And particularly since they would rate haste, went into this, not thinking of the consequences i have. No, i have no hope that these people know what theyre doing. Moving forward, michael. Well, its obvious now that you cannot simply roll things back and go back to the way things were before and say, okay, russia back your boundaries. Lets just paste the u. S. Officials have said the ukraine war is only a catalyst for whats going to be a 20 year war. And the 20 year war is going to be how long that we think it will take for us to take over russia, china, india, and iran. And the whole world, and until we do that, were not going to stop, were not going backwards. Were not going to peace. Were going to continue the ukraine war to continue to lead russia. Every ukrainian who dies, absorbs at least one bullet. And thats going to leave russia with one lead less, but were going to continue to fight. And this is only the opening line, the opening a strategic ploy in whats going to be a long, long, ongoing fight. And so its up to the rest of the world to say, what are we going to do to respond to all this the, the west. The only has a plan that it wants to control how, what is our plan going to be to create an alternative, to the whole post more neo liberal order . That is and left us in debt to the i m. F in debt, the bondholders with money, we can pray. Now that the oil prices and food prices are going up. What are we going to do to create a new world . Because we cant go back to the old world that that is over. So were in really a new development where countries are going to be making their own. Michael, that theres one little wrinkle and all of this and ill get a shout here. What happens when people say no to what michael said . Because the global south is saying no, and the level of administration is only increasing in europe. No is going to be the most obvious answer, but then thats when you have an authoritarian reaction. Control of the military of the police, a big tech, social media. Weve seen it all before. Ill get the last part to you jonathan. Paris. Go ahead with a 20 year loan wall because thats exactly whats happening and this is that we could observe last year. So i didnt read them well if they want to take a check engine, other counties as to what they have done against them. You know, i think the news of the listing agent just getting george bush a world with judge russians. And thats happened to a german of austin only june 22nd of june 1941. So its a p. C. Well, it, which its very interesting here is that there seems to be no, no historical memory of things of what goes where michael, you know, last 30 seconds to you, they dont have any knowledge of history. Thats why theyre groping into the future. 25 seconds to you. Well, thats exactly the point though, all of this has happened before, and the only solution is going to be to make a clean slate and start over again. And you can start all over again. If you let United States have veto power over anything you do as it has in the world bank and the i m f, you have to start a new organization without us beat up our and the other is an alternative. But saying no, isnt enough. So not beyond saying no, you have to say we, there is another way of doing things and you have to develop a whole set of shadow institution and alternative institutions. Thats going to be the next stage that will evolve over the next. I think its happening as we speak here. A fascinating discussion, im sorry, we lost our guest in london. Many thanks them i guess in person in new york. And thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r t c. Next time, remember, talk with with lifted up but he see that the worst were jesus you did.
