for me, it's time to move on and see what they tend to fall. the tender said committee to return back home. there is no support from the nomination type mission, african united miss. i don't care about chug or send people with us. i use hulu to see you is now completely following the american dictates. europe has lost its independence to serve american interest in the geopolitical containment of russia and china. russia is foreign minister states the u, as a vassal of the u. s. and is conducting a proxy war against moscow in you grain. beijing claims washington for stealing oil from syria thing. 60 tankers, full of the country's top resource being looted by us forces just this multi coming up in the program. this, our recent survey shows that people in india,

c, the u. s. as a military threat to the nation coming in 2nd only after labours. china and south africa seeks a substitute to the american dollars dominance. looking to the bricks, group of countries for a solution with broadcasting i from an international new center in moscow. this is our take, great to have you with us today. my name's unit. mm. the european union has lost its independence to washington, the nato military alliance. those direct words coming from russia's foreign minister during an annual news conference where he summed up the events of the past year. you want to say use the e. u is now completely following the american dictate. europe has lost its independence in

a joint declaration explicitly states that europeans are subjugated to nato's essentially continuing an obligation to serve american interest in the geopolitical containment of russia and china. one of the main points it seems to be that 2022 definitely showed a tendency that has been developing for many years to create a development to bring to the forefront that the west is trying to impose its way of thinking. and it's imperialist views on the rest of the world. for example, our sergei elaborate mentioned that nato has been fighting russia through you crate . and that even an academic study that was published in the west has shown facts and details revealing that. and also that would that help all that proxies and it satellites have been developing this for years to new english. that's for us has now ship to coalition, including virtually all european countries about natal member states and you states and others. and now they are waging a war by proxy against russia using ukraine as

a proxy in order to solve the russian matter, just like hitler wanted to find the solution to a jewish problem. they're doing the same right now, sir gil, i've also mentioned that the sanctions that are being used by the wes are aimed at not only weakening russia and trying to get it to play a long to what it wants. so russia to do comply, but also with rushes i lies, and others so called undesirable nations, trying to force them to follow suit and do the same thing. follow washington's rhetoric. there was an interesting question at some point when the journalists asked, how can russia claim to respect the un charter and international law. when it started this a special military operation, and the journalist asked, how can the russia accused the west of doing something that it itself has done now? just took women in the city, the mortgage europe. there was an opinion among europeans that russia did not show his best side by deciding to take military action. while the rest of the

imperialist countries that have bombed half of the planet, or violate an international law in the same way, in order to cease to return wells with them, we are victims of disposing greeks. we have a threat process yet. how would you argue with this position? cuz so, so she had russia has not shown its best qualities. but an interesting formulation in the good of about 300 times after the end of the cold war of the united states invaded some one else's territory, lay up with jim their goal in places like central america is the liquidation of threats to the world loose and they were offended for example, by saddam hussein and gadhafi. in yugoslavia, they simply decided to destroy the balkans for the sake of germany or you, but there was no question of any tribunals or decision to investigate crimes. they said we will put you under sanctions. you, we defended our security from ukraine for after they made a spring board for an attack on russia. and secondly, the humiliation of russians and the kuda tar in 2014. when the west sided with the

anti russian regime, which out in the tales dial back the bombing of ganske in odessa, lauren investigate in which there were no tribunals that minsk agreements was just to give you a korean war. time and weapons. years ago, we were the only ones who saw the implementation of immense can agreements all the others were cheaters. but another to some point was that to us regular also, that wasn't globalization is collapsing, and washington is trying to retain that top spot by. going as far as a legitimate means to achieve that, any means possible, trying to create a rift between countries to make sure that the majority of it, if your rhetoric also understand you were there among many, many journalists from all around the world. what was it just ukraine or what are some other topics that level of touch down on as well? no, i was not just the crane. we also heard about the standoff within as that of i, john n armenia. there with questions about it can, but we could see that there was

a particular focus more on asia and not a natural because as we'll see in russia has been shifting more towards these, especially after the special military of operations began. and we saw the reaction from the west with the sanctions and tried to restrict russia, and so we can russia. so there was a particular emphasis in particular on and china and russia relationship with china . natasha news. this little news publication are relations with china. are going to the best times in history, the leaders of our country say the same thing. china characterizes relations like this. the alliance is not an alliance, but in some ways even stronger. our relations are respectful based on a balance of interests if there is no need to look for information about the west attempts to bring discord into our relation. so they don't consider us an immediate threat. china is considered a long term challenge or lose will they understand that their forces are running out in opposition to the historical trend of the formulation of the multi polar world?

we see that the west is trying to bring the score between us. they are trying to defeat us in order to then convince russia to become a partner of the west that has forgiven sanctions and will not interfere and ideally will help to restrain china. i do not know which of their analysts developed these theories, but they are out of touch with real life. my colleagues, marina cost forever and worry. so shay, talking through that many topics, touched upon by survey love roth, of his annual media conference on wednesday. if you'd like to dig deeper into that r t dot com, as he covered china is foreign ministry spokesperson has slammed the u. s. for the quote, illegal plundering of syrian oil, saying washington is interested in reaping the benefits of its actions regardless of the collateral damage caused. make what it should where struck by the blatant see an egregious news of the u. s. plundering of syria to be at the level of u. s. greed and stealing resources from syria is

a striking as its generosity in giving out military aid, whether the u. s. gives or takes. it plunges other countries into turmoil and disaster. and the u. s. reaps its benefits for its hedge. ammonia and other interests may wonder yonder, measuring also accused washington of ruthlessly trampling on the lives of the syrian people. as the mosque essays, more than 80 percent of its daily oil light, but was smuggled out of the country by us troops in the 1st half of 2022. while already this year, just weeks in official state, the u. s. has taken 60 tankers trucks full of oil and wheat, i'd have sorry. the u. s. has been present in the country since 2014. leading a coalition focused on regime change involving the military's of most nato nations on regional allies. i made accusations of stealing syrian oil in 2021. the pentagon said that the american troops weren't there to protect serene oil fields except on

rare occasions when civilians were involved or syrian american journalist and political commentators, stephen, so he, ne say's washington's actions are stripping syria of the resources. the country needs to recover are within the city, people from heavy added to the fuel number for a warming to houses in the winter for tourney, on the factories for the rebuilding of syria. and that is particularly what a washington d. c wants to a country like steel. yeah. is that huge amount of money that is there. that could have rebuilt year 2 or 3 times a doctor. we could have got a medication medicine. we could have got desk stuff. our hospitals are syria. it could have got fuel for the cars, our schools and everything. we have. a shortage is sita is getting one out of electricity every 24 hours, the ceiling people. i'm talking about the cd and average people. they cannot and they don't have. you don't have electricity to warm their houses. there's some

areas in celia like allah po, damascus, homeless, almira hammock. in the central of syria, the temperature are below 0. they have no way of warming their houses. the u. s. president has met with the dutch prime minister, calling on his european ally to quote, meet the challenges of china. however, numerous media outlets report the u. s. has failed to persuade the no one's own should join its restrictions on exporting chip making technologies to china. the dutch company s m l is one of the largest global suppliers in the industry and beijing remains one. busy of its main clients. will washington impose the export controls on china back in october, claiming beijing could use semiconductors from making military systems on advanced weapons. but chips are widely used in almost every electronic device out there,

including mobile phones, laptops, and microwaves. well let's get the thoughts on all this from the executive vice president of. busy the eurasia center. think tank, earl rasmussen earlier, most welcome. why do you think the netherlands is seemingly not keen to jump on board with the u. s. when it comes to restrictions on china? well, this is, it's a major china, it's 1515 netherland a s. m l directly ships about 15 percent of giants chips to them directly. so to accounts for about $2200000000.00 of annual sales. it's a major you know, it's a major part of their industry. and so this would further related, it kind of force europe would once can bear the brunt of

us sanctions, if you go in this direction and it's really kinda questionable, i mean chips are used in so many things you could easily categorize the dual use type of thing, but what the i think what the u. s. is trying to do is to prevent the development of china's chip industry because a s m l is the sole producer of the extreme, ultra violet photograph the technology which is needed to to develop the most high a high end technological chips. and, and so that's where the focus is the focus to try to get them involved, but that, you know, you're, it's a business decision. and, and so once again, you're wrapping in europe would have to take the brunt and take the take the pain of if they follow through with us. in the build up to the meeting between the 2 leaders, the dutch trade minister said that it was 2 years of pressure coming to this by

washington on the netherlands. but that the netherlands weren't going to capitulate . it's surprising to see a european ally not go along with washington wins. well, i think the other thing here is i, i know they ask me technology association is looking for the you itself to come forward and having a consistent policy, which from my understanding they do not. and so it's, you know, you're basically, i mean if i with a s m l, i would not want to be playing the geopolitical game. and here i want to do business. and i want to provide the best opportunities here. so i think there's a lot of business already businesses that are complaining about within a call away across europe. this would just be one more instance on top of that from one of the actually the largest, one of the largest semiconductor providers. and you know it in the industry in the

world. and so this is, this is i just put to bad taste, i think across the industry. and i think would further further aggravate geopolitical la tensions in industry. tensions within europe and, and also ultimately with between european partners and the u. s. and how much of a set does this look to be vital? is that for the us to have lunch join exposition on the chip? doesn't we can it's own stuff significantly. it does weaken at s, m l is, is the that's the key provider in this, in the high end chip manufacturing areas. and so there are other or other challenging or competitor companies mostly, or you've got cannon, you've got a few others, some u. s. companies that the u. s. some kind of control on that,

but a s m l is, is the major player here. but, you know, what would that, how do we set china back a little bit, but china, china would end up. i think china is working on developing their own technology and they could so would play. it would play a role. and a s a middle actually is a major, major component to, to slow down china as development of their own internal chips. so that there are, thanks very much for break enough time for us. we appreciate as always, earl rock, you sent executive vice president of the eurasia center thing time. thank you. ok. let's turn attention to india where a recent poll among citizens has thrown up. so my opening results, including the u. s. taking 2nd place among what people view as the top security threat to the nation. ortiz, india correspond the engine sharma picks up the story. and now the ball is seeing that u. s. is considered as

a 2nd top thread going ahead of focused on and boxed on. remember, in the shares of he's 3 or military conflict with border disputes as well induct, ever since the creation of focus on 947, india had trouble diplomatic relationship with the and a u. s. in fact, interestingly, comes the head marcus on. and in this particular so the ordinary citizens from across the country was interviewed. of course they saw china as the top thread, but 22 percent saw us. the 2nd most threat, as far as this ball is concerned, while the world's 2 largest democracies would seem to make for natural partners, especially given their mutual mistrust of china, indians have strategic reasons to be wary of the world's western superpower as tensions between washington and beijing increase the indian public may be worried about getting caught in the middle of a us china conflict that the stabilizes regional security. putting india risk. well,

that's interesting considering india has rather warm relationships with the west. also us as india, as top trading partner in the world, and even then when you look into so be a people are seeing that us as a 2nd most threat when it comes to india. also, when it comes to china now the top that lives in the so be 43 percent. the indians come to the china, the top military to act. remember, india in the recent boss has had trouble a border situation with shy not in 2020 india on china shore, one of the bloodiest commissions in history, whereas several soldiers also had lost their life. and also last year in 2020 do another clash between india and china we saw now another interesting aspect of this particular service is that indians are likely to blame us allies. and he,

for the conflict in ukraine, and it's only around 38 percent. so less than 40 percent indians that come to the law school responsible for the ongoing conflict and ukraine. now it's around 26 percent people that say united states us to be blamed and around 18 percent people thing nature was to begin. so 44 percent there compared to the 38 percent people and jamie, more school for the conflicts. now another reason that people think in this direction is because indians have often been up to by the west, by the u. s. a. for the con, some threshold is forth on india to condemn russia offensive in ukraine, also to not by the sauntered oil from russia. now, 60 percent of people in india believe that the indian government should continue buying oil from russia around 49 percent. see that india should continue to

military exercises with a more school just to quickly underlying here is that as far as new delhi and moscow friendship is concerned, it has withstood the test of time and also geopolitical jones. in that sense, for example, in a 971, when indian bach hassan had gone to war or the manager and prices in easton focused on countries including the u. s. the all supported. they provided military as well as moral support to pakistan. and that's when india had sent out an s o s call and only one country came to india rescue. that was so with union. so this boy in a sense, always testimony of that people in india haven't forgotten history. ah, the european parliament has decreed that serbia must harmonize its foreign policy with that of the block, particularly in relation to sanctioning 3rd countries. it's part of

a resolution adopted on the implementation of the use common foreign security policy. in parliament stresses the importance of the full alignment of western balkan countries with the use for an insecurity policy, especially as policy of sanctions against 3rd countries regret, serbia's continued low level of alignment with the common foreign and security policy. notably with regard to the russian federations war of aggression against ukraine, recalls that serbia is a country that strives towards european integration, has to it did to the use common values and rights. well, the grave which is seeking you membership has ignored numerous demands from brussels to align with the blocks empty russia policies survey remains the only european country besides bella roost. that says, refuse to sanction moscow in an interview this week with bloomberg, serbian president alexander food church, reaffirmed his stuff were under sanctions for almost 10 years. 8 years

actually. and we don't believe that's a solution. while a recent poll conducted by the new serbian political thought newspaper showed 80 percent of respondents opposed sanctions against russia with less than 9 percent in support. over half also said they wouldn't support functions even if serbia was threatened with punitive measures by the well to discuss the issue. let's welcome on to the program. in abortion knowledge, serbian american journalist and senior writer us our c. net. good to see you. what influence? well, this resolution haven't the serbian government if any why don't think it's going to have any influence on the serbian government or at least it bought, nudged into direction that the resolutions authors intended. if anything you will harden to serbian opposition to demands from brussels because let's face it,

it's not a good look to have a german author and ultimate him to serbia and the author of dissolution. despite his scott, her sounding name is in fact german and the key amendments demanding compliance in belgrade were also often by corporations, which again has historical issues attached to this. so if, if, if brussels and the european parliament were trying to persuade serbia into actually doing this, they couldn't have gone about it in a worse, in a worse way. the resolution is not binding even 40. you will let alone 2 on countries that are not members. and so it's going to be one of those documents that, you know, brussels bureaucrats are going to pound and point 2 by 5. you were 5 members. if you haven't recognized co civil and here's resolution also demanding that they all do. so we'll see if you know, how can, how can you demand a non member to harmonize policy when they can't even force their own members to,

to will be their own, dictate, ridiculous, yet the resolution emphasize this survey is bid to join the block. it needs to adhere to e, you'd values. how does belgrade progress in that regard? well, honestly, as long as you know, in practice, croatia can hold sir b as bid hostage, pretty much indefinitely, which is what's been happening because of the use consensus mechanisms. so the serbian government keeps telling its people that they are continuing on the path of european integration. but i think everybody understands. and judging by that, pull from a pretty reliable poster, the people understand as well that this is just, you know, the for the sake of forms that must be obeyed. because in practice there's, there's no such thing as the european path. europe doesn't seem to to get the historical ties or the depth of feeling in the country. we mentioned the pool

a few moments ago. now in among serbian people, are you, are you surprised in any way that the serbian government has not capitulated to, to you? pressure and introduce some anti russian sanctions at all. i, frankly, i am because i've, i've been, it's harshest critics on occasion over the past 10 years and i'm actually wo key impressed that they haven't so far because i expected them to buckle on. ready multiple occasions before, but it seems like they're perfectly aware that such a decision wouldn't have any sort of mandate inside the country and they're, there, they seem to be unlike their western european counterparts actually responsive to their electric as opposed to you know, wishes of ukraine, nor dictates from washington can strain relations. you mentioned that just a moment ago between serbia and the effect bel grades ability for a peaceful solution to the costs of volition. will the us basically recognise the

break away province is an independent state. all the 5 members refused to do so, and is essentially insisting that belgrade does the same thing before any sort of admission talks can begin. so basically, d e u has blocked serbia succession in advance because no government in serbia that wishes to remain in power or i would dare say even a life for much longer would actually make that decision. this is one of those impossible asks that you know, along the lines of the austro hungarian ultimate and from 1914 or for the tripartite pact of 1941. it's not a decision that the bullet politician serve you can, can make and same power. good to talk to you is always an abortion mileage. serbian american journalist and senior writer at r t many thanks. nice. south africa, foreign minister has called for a dollar substitute in global and regional trade and is looking towards the bricks

group of countries for that solution or to contribute or chris m spoke earlier with my colleague reshay about what the following words from the lady. pandora might, until we've always been concerned at the fact that there is a dominance of the dollar and that we do need to look at alternatives. i think this is one of the reasons why we creates a new development bank of breaks. i think what she's referring to is the fact that let's take south africa, the largest economy in africa, which is, you know, in so many ways such an important content for our entire well to provide us with 70 bitches and resources that i think they just fed up the fed up with the fact that their entire economy is dictated by us fiscal. why, why do you think that fed up, chris? because the dollar saves nations all around the world? is the king couldn't currency? why would they be set on the fact that this policy of most countries that trading us dollars pretty extractive well from that country. as opposed to that take,

china is invested millions of trillions of dollars in the economies about the connection where it seems to be instead of extraction. that policy seems we want to investment bank winning the hearts and minds the way china is working in africa. building infrastructure, schools, roads, hospital clinics, these kinds of things. it's almost like winning the hearts and minds of the people that i play. i think that's totally the, the correct way to look at it. i mean that say we're, we're from a town or a village in africa, and you'll down down the sound of mine or your west in some kind of mineral extraction. and in the past, you've really seen this western company come employees and just extract that well, whereas they see a chinese company coming, employ them, and actually re invest that money in new homes. like you said, new road, you infrastructure, new school, new hospitals, and things that really improve your life. i think if it were you or i'd, i'd, i'd know which side i'd want to be on. but chris, talk to me about bricks, brazil, russia, india, china. the south africa, potentially it's going to be saudi arabia, potentially, argentina,

potentially iran. what are the implications that chris re bricks as it is right now, covers a far larger expense of the well population that the united states could ever dream a little bit different trade associations and different ways in which tried to manipulate the world. the fact is, if saudi join not, not organization who got south africa, the largest economy in africa, in that we've got china. we've got these big brazil, the largest country in south america, if the saudis coming there and all these other countries that are requesting now to join. i mean, it's really unstoppable. i don't know the fiscal level, which is probably more important, but i think this might be what the former list of south africa is also referring to on a fiscal level, there's really nothing stopping in these countries coming together very similar to the year. right, right. the european union has its own currency the year, right? we could have the bricks, currency, right? at that point, that is incredibly powerful. and for me, it's very, very difficult to see how the united states federal reserve could ever counter act, come and see with that much power in rehab. less than 2 months ago. would they agree to go essentially, to national currencies?

it's almost like by, by petro dollar, hello petrow you want, and yet all these opec countries, they're all joining on board here. they're all looking to trade in national currencies. this is like, this is like a snowball, roaring down a mountain. i'm getting massively more, more big a big a big a bigger as every day goes past here. it looks already to me anyway. it looks like the petro dollar, which is the spine of america's budget on foreign policy, is being shattered. yes, i agree with you entirely. i think we only had to see that as well. from the last class meeting we've been biden's visit suggested to c b s. prior to the fees we saw in those meetings, we saw the pick up counts countries which are obviously led by saudi arabia, chad. but through basically say no, they did that with oil pricing, they refused to lower the price. they said, we can't do that because we're not going to gamble with our economies anymore. we're not going to allow you to be type to off through the us dollar, which is exactly as you pointed out how they've done it. the dictates how we run our fiscal policies and how we look after our own people in our own country. now,

whenever the global food crisis, as mentioned the words russia falls tend to quickly follow. so i warranted or the accusations our documentary breaking bread delves into all that, ah, well, the conflict in ukraine and to cease fire pharmacist frozen conflict, or defeat, or either ukraine or russia. this is the question so called thinking all across the western world, they're asking the problem with this approach that it lacks intellectual and moral honesty. we must address why this conflict started in the 1st place with

.
