the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous, is it? the law is the sovereignty of all the countries. the exceptionalism that america uses in its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nature, what is bad shareholders in united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion. with with

hello and welcome to cross talk, where all things are considered. i'm people about the west sanctions on russia are distorting and damaging the global economy. consumers all over the world are experiencing higher prices and shortages. at the same time, most of the global south has little interests in the west campaign against russia, and in the long run may benefit from a world economy in transition, ah, cross sucking russia in the global south, i'm joined by my guess. i don't tangle in beijing, he's a senior fellow of the ty, hey, institute in new delhi, we have professor chin noise. she is professor americas at the school of international studies at neuro university. and in bristol, we crossed to judge you barbara. she is deputy leader of the workers party of

britain, an author of the drive to war against russia and china are cross talk rules and effects. that means you can jump anytime you want. i always appreciate, let's go to the professor in new delhi. first. you get a lot of we did, we had the g 7 meeting and it's all west it all over western media talking about the great decisions the leaders are making. but in the global south, you folks don't take much notice anymore. why? correct? because you can see the balance, they've been through international meetings, one of the bricks and one of g 7. and you see the difference in the narrative. g 7 was all about, you know, kind of militarism sanctions targeting are the exclusions. whereas breaks was all about global development cooperation, you know, financial linkages, open invasion. i know how, how do you see that? because, you know, we, when we had the, the bricks meeting here,

just as we heard from the professor in new delhi. and they're looking for ways of, of cooperation. and i would also say, this is a really remarkable moment of pivoting to a multi polar world because the west is drawing lines and who it's not going to cooperate who will punish. but at the bricks meeting, we had argentina in iran asking to become members in an organization where russia is that the west is isolating correct? there is quite a change in what is happening, the world from a unipolar to nothing. i should just take a little shout and have no stablish our, our america,

it's actually getting a little the history of what is happening there. it's just at this point, maybe europe, russia, jewish, where they would retaliate. not sure. africa, job america, asia, they, if they see this relation a great power, but it's hurting them. they're the ones who are going to, for the most, come higher food prices, the most, the higher energy. they're already from the lack of interest in providing vaccines to them. their income for some reason you find a $1000000000.00 for supposedly ukraine they couldn't find $50000000000.00,

much to that would have an entire world job in bristol, where it is really kind of remarkable here is that we just had the g 7, which of course like i said that, you know, it gets all kind of fanfare in the west and they are adamant and denying that they have anything to do with the increasing food insecurity around the world of since they're sanctions that are doing it. and they don't want to admit to it. and when you look at the global south that which actually is a consumer of a lot of grain that comes from russian ukraine. they see this obviously as a, as a deflection for a huge problem that the west has created, not only for itself for a good part of the world. go ahead. absolutely. i mean, if you look at the sanctions war against russia is a classic case of a powerful man lifting a heavy rock to drop on his own feet. no,

the west went into this for believing that he could crush the russian economy like that with a total trade and sanctions war. and it was so show that that strategy was going to succeed. it didn't really bother to think very hard about its military strategy. i didn't think it needed to have one, but the sanctions failed and not only did that fail, they've actually achieved the precise opposite. you know, rushes economy had already been substantially diversified and restored in response to kind of early rounds of sections. payment and trading mechanisms have been being partly developed by russia and by china for quite some time because they saw the way the wind was blowing. you know, the, the west has constantly used its economic and technological strangle hold on the world to force people into submission. and russia and china increasingly on behalf really of the whole of the developing world have been standing up and saying no, and that's why we see their friendship and cooperation, deepening and developing. and russia has showed the west, you know, and the world's that there are other ways to conduct international trade outside of

the safe system. now, there are other markets for its goods outside europe and america incentive, russian society collapsing into poverty and hunger. it's actually the use people who are facing a winter of hunger and blackouts, and the people in the rest of the world are taking careful notice of these lessons . it was go back to new delhi per professor. one of the interesting things. first of all, i think one of the, one of the most important things and topping right now we've been watching it for years now. the de dollarization. but this is of the global economy. but this is an accelerant. this is accelerating this process because of those ridiculous words of rules based order that's translated for me is we can steal your money when we want to go ahead and new delhi. correct? actually, in the brakes has for several years now. been developing trade in national currency and the president of the bricks actually said some years ago that

we need to move away from the hedge and many of the dollars. now obviously we cannot do a complete de dollarization right away, but one has to have new reserve currency, you know, that you on et cetera already the basket of what is the current fees regulated by the m f. and this will accelerate, but ultimately the market is the fist of this whole process of getting alternate currency, though at the moment the dollar and the euro do dominate. but, but this kind of bilateral trade like india and russia, developing with local currencies or china and russia, etc. so there will be, i wouldn't call it at the moment, be dollar i vision. but the alternate currencies are definitely going to come up to reduce the risk that the dollar is imposing on the was and the dollar jimmy jumped . it's very interesting that what's happening here. the whole strategy is to

isolate russia, and i would say a strong message to china. that's, that's a message. it's coming out here. but what they've done is they've isolated themselves, okay? the world that it wants to have less and less to do with them because they're unreliable, unpredictable, and will use illegal means to get what they want. i mean, this is an amazing turn of events. so it is a paradigm shift. we've been to you and i've talked about this before, but this is a, an infecting point where people who say we're not afraid of the west anymore. go ahead . well, increasingly, people are saying that they don't have to be a fight of the west, so long as they learn how to stand together. and what the russia china partnership is showing is the strength of the rest of the world when it stands together. and that, that block is increasingly growing confident, as well as economically powerful, and that's going to make all the difference. and as you say, create this kind of paradigm shift. you know, the,

they all kinds of other lessons being told, you know, you, you said yourself peter, about this kind of institutionalized faith. they call it sanctions under the power of sanctions. that they unilaterally impose. they allow themselves to touch terra, any treaty, any negotiation, any contract, but steal any wealth that they can get their hands on from any country that they deem to be, you know, an enemy that's being sanctioned. so there's a lot of things that people to think about and what's going on. and as the professor was saying with this increasing ability to, to trade by laterally in local currencies, you know the mechanisms for shifting the way the world operates financially. it's is really accelerating. now. it was go back to our destin in beijing or what it obviously you don't speak for the chinese government, but it given how china has been observing, how this rom sanctioned regime against russia is worked. what lessons are they drawing? it is it, is it bricks the answer other multilateral organizations?

because the west is this not a reliable partner? go ahead and beijing? well, yeah, yes. i mean at this point, i mean, china looks at the situation as being, in essence, created by the west. they see the same tactics used against russia as that are being used against china. and that is an isolationist policy, where they are. the u. s. is using proxies, whether it's ukraine or, or taiwan or sion job in order to kind of create a situation where they claim that it is in fact not their aggression pushing. they, you know, violating concerns that were made to russia and the same to china. but simply using these as an excuse to try to win a p r war. but the problem is, there's no long term strategy. i mean 30 percent of the world's energy is from russia. i mean,

a good percentage of the world's manufacturing is from china. markets are in china, nuclear weapons are in russia, and this, this kind of ill fated idea that was started by donald trump, that the u. s. can return to greatness by simply diminishing any potential adversary is absolutely wrong. if i could stay with you here, obviously, you know, the, that the west is testing china's resolve here because they've been there is that obviously china's been criticized by the west for not condemning russia. here is how far will that go when you think? because as we point out on this program, we had the bricks. conclave, i mean, russia isn't isolated, is that something that you know, the chinese are, are realizing that you know, that the west sanctions are not, is affective, is i want to be actually, i have to go to a quick, i'm going to let you answer. i'm going to go to a quick break, and after that quick break, we'll continue our discussion on russia in the global south state with

our oh ah ah

ah mm ah, welcome back to crosstalk, where all things are considered. i'm peter labelle, to remind you we're discussing russia in the global south. ah, let's go back to beijing. i know it's really quite interesting. i been watching evers, particularly a sense of putin speech in 2007 and munich about european security. and there's always been that message, you know, you know, but we have to make sure the russians of the chinese don't get together. but everything they do, everything they do makes

a strategic alliance between russia and china, all that more firm. and i think a good part of the global south seas that is being real. and it, it is, it attracts people to that because he's or to a responsible players on the global stage, which of course, is the complete opposite of what you're going to hear in western media. 247 go head in beijing. well, i mean, a, they would not have wanted it in action in ukraine, but they understand that russia was pushed by nato us in europe. so that's why they continue to remain neutral in terms of the rest of the world global south. this stance, i see here, it's once for colonial aggression, this idea that you can remain on top bike, gun boat to policy. and they're turned off. they've already been through that mill and they don't have no intention to return. ok, it's a, it's go back to a new deli,

talking about neo colonialism are there for in the beginning stages of russia's military operation. there was an enormous amount of pressure put on india to follow the line. and it didn't work whatsoever. it was. it's like a flat letter, it didn't go anywhere. and they didn't had that tinge of neil colonialism that you get in line. well, you know, india has its own national security interest, its own economic interests. it's what are the countries of, of the future? i would say the e u is a something of growing in the past now. so i mean, india stood out by me again. is this a turning point, or is this a combination of points that we see india on the international stage? go ahead? was number one, you say india had such a long, stable non conflict and mutually beneficial relationship with russia that they were not going to forsake this for a very new kind of promotion that the e, when the us were doing. and they were a string of, you know,

all their secretary of defense and trade coming in and actually putting a lot of pressure on india. because for them, it's a jewel in the crown. if india goes, you know, a lot of adobe south kind of could become you know, could be kind of challenge. so it was very important for them, but india has listed this fisher and be this consensus behind this pressure. every political party writes less than be the intellectual, the institution have back this consensus. they, they support this consensus that they are very clear that russia was trapped in this, in this war. that russia has been good for india. india depends on russian energy and defend supplies in the very big data rate. so that was number one, but now many of the american defense and other specialists are wanting india, that china attack you, your revenue run to this is again, you're putting

a new threat and putting all kinds of an india reply saying, look, we have enough information. and we have biological talk going on. yeah. so don't find a ratio. so that's what's happening currently. i'm really glad you brought that. i've got a job here. you know, you know, they, they always play that card. you know, they, you know, the play off country after, after another country. and that's what they tried to do with russia and china. and now we have india and china. and, you know, again, you know, it's not india's horn policies, not driven by the white house as much as they would like that here. but i find that to be a very primitive form of great power politics. go ahead, lutely and well, the countries of the what you call the global south, the developing countries, the oppressed countries have a long history of interference domination, control looting by the west, by the imperialist. they also have a long history of trusting russia and china. why russia was formerly the soviet

union, both the soviet union and china gave huge, huge support to the national liberation, struggles all over the world in the colonial era. they have always treated those countries the, the free countries that came out of that time with respect, with dignity, they've traded in terms of equality and mutual mutually beneficial development. you know, it's a completely different relationship. it has always been reliable and stable. and when russia or china get their word to another country, they stick to it, they respect them, and they are respected in return. so we can really say the basis for the kind of falling apart of the west plan to just pressurize everybody into doing as they're told. yes it is. go back to beijing, it's i find a really interesting them western narrative. i'm particularly under the bible administration, is democracy versus autocracy. ok and but what they showed them so they showed themselves to be more i'd mostly on ideological and the way they approached the

world, this neil liberal ideology. and it's going to create it deems the world, the good versus evil, and all that. and a shot there was just saying there. that's that how the global south looks at it. they look at it mutually beneficial and without any kind of domination. and this is what neo liberalism council he does. you know, when i look at china, i don't see it as being an ideological place. i see is being very pragmatic. go ahead in beijing. well, we're just talking about this american exceptionalism idea that we can do bad things in america. and it doesn't matter because we're trying to do a greater good. and quite frankly, i think people are tired of that people, especially countries that have suffered under not only european colonial, some, but the kind of cool meals that the u. s. was practicing and it's still practicing this kind of gumbo diplomacy. this idea that you can force other nations to adopt the ideas, principles,

and ideologies and methods and means by which you exist. despite the fact that in the united states to say which we see quite clearly, some nation divided. and nation that has not is not able to come together. that is in some respects on the verge of some sort of jeep to vomit. so, i mean it's, it's hard to lead when you cannot do. and right now the united states cannot lead by example because they do not have the oral surgery. busy or, you know, a basis to tell other countries what to do based on what's happening in their own. well, it's go back to the professor in new delhi. i'm sure you're aware of the literature, a world beyond the west, and i follow it very, very carefully. well, the development of the financial institutions trade in trading agreements and, and whatnot. and i think that this is an assault on russia by the west is only going to accelerate that. and i think the global south has

a lot more confidence now because as we pointed out on this program, the fear level is lowering. they're not is afraid, is they used to be, is matter of fact, they can be actually quite indifferent. i think it was a lensky of ukraine. he had a, a zoom talk with the african leaders. only 4 out of 53 showed up. and i'm sure there was a lot of pressure on the west for african leaders to show up. but they still didn't go there is the fear is fading. go ahead in new delhi. yes. so there were 3 quick going on to both ends who started with the african union because not just for that showed up. the fact that mackie saw the president of the african union actually said a few days before that, that it was the west to blame for the food crisis and sanctions to blame. and he said moscow is trying to open for plot lines. that's one point. second, about the confidence of the global south. now, the bricks countries together, their g d p is actually in terms of purchasing power parity is more than that of

the g 7. so, you know, they don't need to hang on to the g 7, except if they give them, you know, respect. and as you're the said, number 3, i want to raise one new point and that is tomorrow. when that nato strategic document comes out, you will see that the entire focus is going to shift the china because that's what they really want to get. oh yeah, i think that going to fail quite frankly. and because they think they have already just decimated, rush average is completely false. thank you. don't just continue on with that. i think that's exactly how i see this here is to try to collapse the russian economy . and then, you know what russia lick it's wound and then the real target is china. that's exactly how i have seen it here. but tell me one of the things, you know, you know what, and i've talked before. i just think the west is this going to double down the never learn anything there to so idea. logically obsess. they cannot learn from

their mistakes. they just print more money and misery. their own people because they can't admit they make mistakes. they can't, they can't change course. well, it's like the left can't change it. spots isn't that, you know, imperialism is imperialism, is impair, it is a monopoly, capital c, profit, and domination, uncontrolled. it doesn't do respect. it doesn't do human rights and democracy. those words, it does domination and control, and ultimately its financial power has been backed up by its military power. but of course, what we're seeing with the war in ukraine is the limits of both of those powers being very clearly highlighted the another force is emerging capable of standing up to imperialists. and of course, there are any answer to that is to double down and shines, you know, escalades and escalate an escalate and, you know, failing in the war and russia will make the more hungry. that's the crazy thing about the system and it's logic. but what they are doing in the process is empowering is strengthening the result of all those countries that get in its way. it tried to isolate so many countries that all is isolated when, well,

hang on. i mean, if we get together where the majority, you know, but as you said earlier than that, they're actually end up isolating themselves from the real economy of the world. and russia has shown to the developing countries of the world that another path is possible. if you've had enough of submitting to this in period a stick tet, yes it is, go back, is go back to beijing one. when it here. i think that nato in europe is patently failed, but that's not stopping them from starting a nato in the pacific. here again, doubling down on failure. one minute left the you are my friend in beijing. yeah, i mean, those are china is obviously concerned about this. i mean, going to take was in tactics have been used in europe ago, rather than using them against china. you know, obviously has parallels. but you know, right now you want to understand that russia is in a survival. i. it's been attached. it's been, it's security, has been compromised. it feels it has been lied to. and china fuels increasingly

the same way. when the u. s. starts hedging on, you know, what is the one china policy when they stop talking about china, they stop talking and start talking about the p r c. it's a clear indication that they are attempting the same tactics down a different area. ok that we end on a very interesting point there we could all be watching this here. i want to thank my guests in bristol, new delhi, and in beijing, i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. and next time, remember across luck with ah, only one main thing is important for knox ism internationally speaking to that is

that nations because allowed to do anything, all the mazda races, and then you have the mind the nations, while the slave barragan's rock obama and others have had a concept of american exceptionalism. international law exist as long as it serves the american interest. if it doesn't, it doesn't exist by turning those russians into this dangerous go. you man, that wants to take over the world. that was a conscious strategy. so some golf out of it on your own, i know she leashed off to exhibit in tablet block. nato said it's ours. we moved east. the reason us, hey jim, it is so dangerous. is it the lie? the sovereignty of all the countries, the exceptionalism that american uses and its international war planning is one of the greatest threats to the populations of different nations. if nato disbanded

shareholders in the united states and elsewhere in lodge obs companies would lose millions and millions or is business and business is good and that is the reality of what we're facing, which is fashion ah hey, i'm authorized to additional strong sanction. foreign companies quitting russia,

numbers on to on thank you. this client atm console. blantan banks disconnected from the international payment system. functional move hoppey journal donna and euro exchange rates followed minneapolis sellable up article. but more so so carbon would know what the committee met, the balkans, the pilgrim that's that is the correct. can you say i don't see a material with other almost volume and russian business overcome this song? see i bought it to the nazi to huddle. she instrument, she tells me, don't press voice bullshit. nash a productive not to steal a miracle, what i see or put themselves. but when you, when you with the border, you got any of your mind or just feed them out. but i, she's appraisal id. let's look at no cost to get the group when you, when you, when we talk new person who is a school. so a delusion will go a little bit. you know, the emotional and political a,

a turkey agrees to admit finland and sweden to nato lifting its opposition and green lighting of the blocks enlargement something russia considers a red line. shifting of, i'm counting on you to finally realize how ridiculous you look like when you just go with the ukranian propaganda. new evidence proves that russia did not targeted shopping mall in ukraine, but the un security council still deliberates keels claims and with oil prices continuing to spike us officials quietly visit venezuela, despite previously declaring the country, a threat to us national security ah, broadcasting from our studios in moscow this is our internet.
