i mean, the west really do does not have any professional left. my mike, the insults that are given the accusations that are given i, it just degrades the relationships and, and i think at some point, you know, you hope the bear or, or let's not forget, you post the dragon too much and, and there's going to be a lash back, you know, so it's i, i think it's understandable. i think the west very naive lee. they can, they can do anything and, and nothing's going to happen then. and at some point, if we're going to stand up whether that's and i think this is actually an a good way. good. and i think that's giving a, they're actually speaking up not just for russia, but in a way they're speaking up for a lot of these countries that have seen their countries completely destroyed by the endless war that occurred in the, in the africa and the middle east. and south america, indonesia, era, the asian pacific area, i mean, really somebody needed to voice up and stand up to do some, you know, sovereign countries and, and that really was not taking place in th

what is the west to west is the you 2726 countries and america and canada and what is to west? what can i do now in with his huge subject, it's very much on his own. and it has to keep on banging his drum and going on about the liberal values. but the truth is, we don't even believe in the liberal values ourselves anymore. you know, democracy, free speech, human rights, just look at what we're doing through and people look at the junior sans case. you know, look at the number of journalists are being arrested in europe for reporting on the war and ukraine. but role to that, the january 6 rioters. yeah. yeah. so you know that this, this edge that we had is gone. you know, we're looking at a new recent new world order. and china and russia are actually beginning to make it very her, to the whole world. there is an alternative out, you know, and i think the longer we go on though with these ideas, the more that the west is exposed to being more corrupt than it ever was in a corruption is now really a huge factor. now when we look at ukraine, when we look at china, i mean, how can y

the west is doing. a forest johnson was brought up because it good, correct me if i'm wrong, but he was headed to the conservative party. but in the last waning days of this agony of his a premiership, he was talking about cox. it masculinity and the glasgow conference. you talk about we need to be more feminine than what i think voters didn't expect that from a conservative leader. maybe i'm wrong. no because he, it was a bit old in the respect that he came from a classic conservative background. the elite ism of being eaten, not many people in britain, even know the johnson isn't really even english. he's russian greek, turkish, and french. we rolled into one. so he's an old character, but he played up very much the lift. and i think that's because really, if you look at the winning blow of his last election, where he had almost a landside, which was the huge contingent of old labor voters, the voted for him, the cross that line, you know, because they wanted to get it done the tories want to have the

in the west. and this is something that is actually happening at the moment already. and this is a good sign because it means that the west has a strarategy not only for wees but for months. a good sign. thank you so much more. it's liana roman also. and all of you. if you're watching this show to the point, if you have any comments, you can

you're the west needs russian more. they are too critical to critical to the global, a mobile supply. chic. i mean, minerals, medals. you're really well, you're being, you're being so fragmatic girl, you're being so pragmatic. these people are ideologues. that's the problem. do you think victoria new and ever thinks about supply, james? keep going. yeah, and i, i, and i think go but, but this whole, what has happened here is they've disrupted global supply chain. they weaponized the global financial system will bring that down as well. i think over time, and ah, yeah, a, you know, perhaps 20 years ago russia needed them more but, but i think going forward, i think today rush is a critical component in it. and it's part of, i have to agree with henry kissinger, you rushes in important part of europe. they need to build, rebuild these bridges, the need to keep in contact i. but unfortunately with the current leadership, that's not going to happen. and it's unfortunate, the people are the ones they're going to sacrifice. an

is the wes last ah cross sucking the west split with rush. i am joined by my guest, earl rasmussen, in minneapolis. he's the executive vice president of the racial center in brussels . we have gilbert carro, he is an independent political analyst, and author of memoirs of an ex pat manager in moscow during the 19 ninety's annual gown suite cross to janice buchanan. he is chief editor of m b media. i gentleman cross sack rose to the fact that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciated gilbert. let me go to you 1st and brussels that i paint too much of a pessimistic picture in my introduction. the end to brush is 300 year relationship with the west because the sanctions, at least the american ones will probably never colton. go away. europe, we'll see how it goes. they are very, very much divided and is that as long as they are divided, those sanctions won't go away. the split is real and it's meaningful. and i don't see it mending for at least a generation. is that hyperbole on my part gilbert? well, i think it's exaggerated,

it is impossible for the west to deal with it. a, but let's hope that, er, soon all this er, that is, the smell will understand soon, that even if it will be, this is a very good story with the turbine, when, after all, the canadians sent the turbine, and russia they skali's passport, er, it's the west, it means i have a russian, or what's not, said the problem of u we do not know when. yes, the west must understand that if we make one concession, it is a request. that is, russia will demand other concessions, and ram will demand this concession. turkey will need this stack. let me say that they cannot yes, that is, at the expense of ukraine, at the expense of other countries, at the expense of the west, these countries could not sit on a few chairs, the west should be united and should help ukraine more, well, we criticized turkey , of course. intermediary and platform and negotiations, how would the negotiations go? yes, but they are going to the world in general, no, for obvious reasons, this has already been said many times, bu

but for one thing is all of the leadership within the west. at least the main one need to fall, those governments need to be replaced. you were already starting to see that. and it's going to be the economic turmoil that'll probably push it. and i think people starting to wake up and realize what's going on. that's going to play a role in here and i don't think you're gonna see any type of mending of relations . i don't think russia will terminated because i think they, they are pragmatic and they'll look at that. but i, i do agree that the shift to the global south with them is where the offer thirties are. that's where the future is. and i think basically the west is isolating so absolutely, absolutely. janice, let me go to you and we'll get to the free and independent sovereign country against. congratulations. you're the 1st citizen that i've met from your country and it's a pleasure to have you on cross don, jenn, if you're, if we look at the division between the west in russia you, you made it on the russian side. ok. meaning congratulati

the propaganda attempt to tell the west this will be a long war. it makes no sense for you to support to be unified with this and solidarity towards ukraine. well, as i look at the german society, for example, i have the feeling that it's working together with this inflation and energy crisis that we see in our country. because the people for the 1st time now they understand that the impact of the war is happening here. people will see over the next month, the energy prices rising really the lot. and of course, people will pose the question to their government. is it worth it? isn't that worth? maybe we need a compromise with russia. we heard these voices over the last 4 months, but they will be stronger even over the next month. and a bit at this moment, put it in ascending the sign. we haven't started yet or we can do much more. of course, i have a feeling that this can work. now, before we start talking about, you just mentioned energy price. that's a really big topic, almost for another show. let's focus on the situation on the ground with many

and that is exactly the dependency of the west on washing god. so the idea is also when it comes to this turban, it is to make clear that a dish washer, which is cutting off the gas, and that germany is not sort of, it's not, it's not the fold of the german government. and this is obviously domestic communication towards the german public. if gas suppliers from wash, i get further cut. it is a very we active strategy. it is not a pro active strategy of trying to push our moscow, for instance, to caps and gas prices. but it is a strategy to fill the storages and to try to out play moscow. and i'm not sure who will have the upper hand in this game. i wanted to add better, maybe the story with a turbine. it's also was also done in this way to not give moscow an extra argument in its propaganda. that this is why we don't supply gas to germany any more or to europe. i want to add one more thing to this gas question. we see in germany or how difficult the situation is concerning gas understanding the gas prices. but of course it, germany is a strong cou

soldiers and the west. and this is something that is actually happening at the moment already, and this is a good sign because it means that the west has a strategy not only for weak spot, for bonds, a good sign. thank you so much more. it's liana roman also, and all of you for watching this show to the point. if you have any comments, you can leave it on our e mail, or a comment on you too. thanks so much up with . ah ah ah, is the end of the pandemic in sight? we show what it could look like, a return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult to success in our weekly coven, 19 special. in 30 minutes on d. w. i was sexual assault survivor, a for those of us, can we shoot speaker? them to step up and say the truth women in asia are that i can see is to support. don't be afraid to make mistakes. nothing can soften that. you're right. i actually the feeling founder so probably take the job. yeah. this mean? her women in asia season to this week with ah ah ah news. mm hm. oh this is dw news liv

you know, now the west, the so called worse. what is the west to west is the you 2726 countries, and america and canada and the what, what is the west? what can it do now in with his huge subject, it's very much on his own. and it has to keep on banging the strum and going on about the liberal values. but the truth is, we don't even believe in the liberal values ourselves anymore. you know, democracy, free speech, human rights, just look at what we're doing to people look at the junior sam case. you know, look at the number of journalists are being arrested in europe for reporting on the war and ukraine. but role to that, the january 6 rioters. yeah, yeah. so you know that this, this edge that we had is gone. you know, we're looking at a new recent new world order. and china and russia are actually beginning to make it very here to the whole world. there is an alternative out, you know, and i think the longer we go on though with these ideas, the more that the worse is exposed to being more corrupt than it ever was in a corrupti

is the wes last ah cross sucking the west split with rush. i'm joined by my guess, url rasmussen in minneapolis. he's the executive vice president of the racial center in brussels. we have gilbert carro, he is an independent, political analyst, and author of memoirs. i'm an ex pat manager in moscow. during the 19 ninety's and in logan suite cross to janice wood, conan, he is chief editor of m b media. i gentleman cross sack rose to the fact that means you can jump any time you want and i always appreciated gilbert. let me go to you 1st and brussels that i paint too much of a pessimistic picture in my introduction. the end to brush is 300 year relationship with the west because the sanctions, at least the american ones will probably never come and go away. europe, we'll see how it goes. they are very, very much divided and is that as long as they are divided, those sanctions won't go away. this split is real and it's meaningful. and i don't see it mending for at least a generation is that hyperbole on my part gilbert. well, i think it's exagger

it's the only model the west had. so wrong was the huge powers of beliefs which controlled politicians, you know, has a very singular view of the world which the functions followed. you know, they looked at poor countries and they said, oh, you pull them backward. do you have a huge democratic deficits? you know, all human debts. do you need american age and when you foot on the ground, boots of uncle sam. and if countries around the world, so yes to those 5, then they will, welcomes, there was a huge body slap, you know, your all kind of guy, iraq kind of dictates all kind of leader. this is how americans sought and the west followed with this doctrine. but i think a little bit was about, you know, what we got now is we saw loses. this is the problem. we're losing our power and we don't really know how to deal with it. just just as a british empire imploded the end of the 2nd, we will use the americans to know how to deal with this new scenario that china, iran, russia, india, these companies already forming, they rea

now, what are the signals that the west should set? well, the signal should be that the worst is ready to take pain and to help you crane. i mean, of course them by and by showing that it is ready to get rid of for russian guest supplies as soon as possible and probably sooner that we think. now at this moment, this is most important. i think i need to and also continue to supply ukraine with our, with weapons because this is the only on the only thing that portion understands strength and strengths, means weapons and malcolms. and once again, weapons, you mentioned the strength already. is there a saw something where you say the west really need to do that now quickly? i think the, the west should not only supply ukraine with weapons, but it should also train ukraine in soldiers and the west. and this is something that is actually happening at the moment already and the good side, because it means that the west has a strategy not only 4 weeks, but 4 months, a good time. thank you so much more. it's liana roman also, and all of you, if

reproducing the patterns of the past, clear evidence of the low quality of the current elites in the west is their inability to solve the basic social economic and political problems of their countries. and then with what amazing ease they create situations that, in principle, are fraught with a direct military clash of the great powers and which in past eras led to world wars. the most recent examples of this are expressed in the words of the same henry kisinger strategic indulgence. this is nancy palace's demand that russia officially be a nuclear superpower , a permanent member of the un security council and a country without dialogue, with which many problems of international security and the economy cannot be resolved, the status of a state sponsor of terrorism. and this despite the fact that sooner or later the united states. we will have to conduct a dialogue with russia both on ukraine and on european security issues and on the problems of the middle east and on strategic stability and on many other topics. or her own nancy palace a maniacal desire to fly to visit taiwan, despite

there, the russia, you're, the west needs russian more. they are too critical to critical to the global, global supply chic, i mean, minerals, metals, you're really well, you're being, you're being so fragmatic girl, you're being so pragmatic. these people are ideologues. that's the problem. you think the korea knew and everything's about supply, james, keep going. yeah, i think but, but this whole, what has happened here is they disrupt the global. why can they weaponized the global finance and bring that down as well? i think over time, and yeah, you know, perhaps 20 years ago russian needed them more but, but i think going forward, i think today russia is a critical component. and as part of, i have the group, henry kissinger rushes, important part of europe. they need to build, rebuild the regulars, the need to keep in contact. but unfortunately with a current leadership that's not going to happen. and it's unfortunate the people are the ones are going to sacrifice these leader. what, what happens? they don't really doesn't impact them

what's the dividing line between the west and the non-west he said we write symphonies. so clearly culture was central the enduring art that we produce in the west, but how do you define the west? well, i'm actually not that interested in definitions if i can say so because in a way that you can play the definition game forever and you still wouldn't succeed in it. i said the west is obviously a geographical construct but more importantly a philosophical political social and cultural construct. um, we i think everyone in this room knows what the roots of it are anyone who thinks that it doesn't exist should just i know stand anywhere in china. china is china, but it's definitely not the west so it's one of those things you certainly know it when you see it, even if you don't want to get bogged down and definitions. and but all of us could give our own descriptions of the west i think is a obvious philosophical political. tradition an incredibly rich tradition and and yes. getting but i always fear getting stuck on on exactly what the west is because then we get stuck on t

and the biggest loser is the west. ah. to discuss these issues and more i'm joined by my guest, glenn, these in oslo. he's a professor at the university of south easter norway as well as author of the book was a phobia propaganda in international politics. and in america we crossed to martin j. he's an award winning journalist and commentator, or a gentleman crossed out rules and effects. that means you can jump any time you want. and i was appreciated. so i was going in oslo. um, you and i were in contact before we started this recording and you decide on the topic on the uniform moment. well, i'm much to my surprise a tony blair, the former british prime minister, gave a big speech about dominance of the west is coming to an end. so what a interesting, a collision of perfect storms here for. so for our, for our audience, what he, what is meant by the unit polar moment uniformity, what does that mean? well, again, this i think is major story of our time. because when the soviet union collapsed, the world became unit polar.

so the west is in gauge in the war. the rest of the world has no interest in doesn't understand what the west is doing. martin, i'm glad to. boris johnson was brought out because it got great wrong, but he was head of the conservative party. but in the last waning days of this agony of his premier ship, he was talking about cockpit masculinity and the glasgow comp time. but we need to be more feminine than what i think boaters didn't expect that. but the conservative leader, maybe i'm wrong because he was, he was been all in the respective. he came from that classic, conservative background. and liter being and each and not many people in britain even know the jo, some isn't really even english is russian, greek, turkish. and french rolled into one, so he's an old character, but he played up very much the lift. and i think that's because really, if you look at the winning blow of his last election, where he had almost a landside was, was the huge contingent of old labor voters, the voted for him, the cross that line, yo

what about the west? well, we're still not sure why the the lessons were properly learned because now germany, when we speak about germany, is to having a huge problem with russian guess something which morris was more it's was talking about. so the dependencies so immense over 50 percent of and german guess comes from russia. and we cannot solve this problem here in germany. fast enough and ukraine needs a germany actually to stop buying russian gas because every dollar, every euro that germany pays for. it goes then probably to russian weapons to the russian army and is then turned against a crane. so there are still lessons to be learned and quickly. i would like just a few words if i may, to the, to the people living now in the occupied territories in the south or in the east, in the east. it's a different different story because much part of don't boss or some part of it was already occupied in 2014, but it was a 1000, it's a completely new situation and nobody knows how ukrainians living the those m

and there's a lot of haste on the west to try and how to, how to try and deal with it. okay, let's go back to michael in new york. let's talk about the impact of sanctions here . go ahead. well, president of the secretary of state lincoln, who said that the war in ukraine is simply the beginning of a war with russia that will go on for 20 years and will extend the china. so they plan on bringing the whole world back into the us dollar area, not only europe, but also the global. so the problem is that they think that united states will be the only actor and the other countries will simply react. but keep on doing what they've been doing all along with in the i m f and the world bank and the world trade organization. but this is not going to happen because if indeed they've declared economic sanctions in war against russia already a president who said, we're going to create a brick span. we're going to create a whole new set of institutions that will operate on very different principles, the neo liberal policies. i've just got to know what i expect to be in my book, the da

and to see that as a model and so on, the west understands of the people the west understand that they no longer can be the sensor. then we're going to continue with this, these appeals to exceptionalism and for that for that to well, i guess the big question is, can we survive the, the period after the american century, we're all going to find out because it's not happening right now. gentlemen, that's all the time we have here. i want to thank my guess and cali with that and assemble. and i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at r t c. and next time, remember cross up with ah, a with, with a to fill out these days because of the applicant and engagement. it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart, we choose to look so common ground. a deal is agreed by russia and ukraine to open off lock c. ports for grain exports this friday, rushes foreign minister say's its proof of the quote, artificial nature of western accusations that must melissa blame for the global food prices. live reactions are not coming out. also, so if you're a paul and interpol ring the alar

well how fragile the union was especially in the far west? so he initiated the sweeping purge of federal officials about 1500 of them in total and he replaced them all with reliable unionists. this include included firing the southern-born governor and the secretary of new mexico the exact same guys who oversaw the passage of the territory slave code in addition to firing basically all the friends who were in all the friends of william gwyn. who were in california is patronage positions. much harder to lead a rebellion in the rep in the west when you no longer really hold power there. now an equally important factor in a resting rebellion in the far west was ironically the position that the region's pro slavery leaders took it's what i wait and see separatism. so rather than provoke outright rebellion, they basically preferred to cheer the confederacy from a nice safe distance. once the confederacy triumphed then they would launch a movement for an independent republic on the pacific coast. i mean at least this was their plan. and at one point

while admitting that the soviet union lags behind the west in providing consumer goods, its propaganda machine explains this by saying that russia had been a backward country at the time of the revolution and that progress toward the socialist idea had been halted by world war two. in no way does the regime blame its problems on deficiencies in the at the same time propaganda plays on the high priority many soviet citizens place on personal security by claiming that the distribution of income education and health benefits are more equitable than in capitalist countries. to underscore this claim the regime points to the lack of job security and the existence of unemployment in western market economies. the propaganda machine also exploits crime statistics from western countries and makes it appear that the us in particular is a lawless society where the individual's physical security is constantly at risk. the soviet media go to great lengths to portray the leadership as thoroughly committed to the welfare of the common man. shortcomings in the supply of consumer goods are attributed to

it's the west that is imposing these obstacles. they're doing the same thing with oil and petroleum products that's prom has always fulfilled and will continue to fulfill all of its obligations. it's our partners who are trying to shift the blame for their own mistakes onto gas prom without any justification was covered ukraine and the energy crisis. the syrian conflict has taken somewhat of a back seat. leaders of the 3 countries reminded that 4 years ago, russia in iran and turkey, created the only successful international platform for peace dialogue in syria. and despite supporting at different sides still, and different political goals. the 3 leaders are on the same page when it comes to one very important aspect, and that is foreign actors in syria, russia, iran, and turkey. despite our divergent views on what is happening on the euphrates, have a shared position that the u. s. must stop stealing from the syrian people. they must stop taking oil from there and they must withdraw from the country. we believe that in order to ach

what efforts is the west making? e risk for the west, uh, the military and konstantin just spoke about the economic. why do you think this is being done? what is the motive? now, uh, i'll tell you that in america this question is being asked more and more often. i was recently at a republican event, where there were non-specialists political activists and several people asked me a question after my speech. and here is what is actually happening in ukraine around ukraine, which is so important for the united states, what are the stakes there, and here is one uh version that was expressed by people, it was very, let's say from my point of view reasonable they say, well, after uh failure in afghanistan, of course, they wanted to demonstrate. and who is the united states that can do something, uh, can do something, that they, if you like, are not fading great kept, but then one person said, who, as he explained to me, was a colonel in iraq, he says, you see, here we are interfering in some kind of situation. and when we i

and that is on the price of petrol in west right now. it's clear with the removal of russian oil and gas from the markets here that the entire western economy has been subsidized by russia for quite some time since that condition came into big because the removal of that subsidy has created a serious problem for every market that rests on top of it and the fundamental one itself. so what we're looking at here, i mean, look adolph, hitler 1924 and his little jail house, home writing about the pathway to empire for germany. you know, was a ruminating over the fact that all the other colonies had been taken in the place to germany needed for raw materials. and the slave labor force was the soviet union particularly rushed. and the plan was to incite internal ethnic differences, whatever contradictions they could find, to excite them, incite out warfare inside basically a split it up into multiple, well that gun i have to jump in and we have to go to a break here. but it's amazing how bad ideas have an echo through history in 2022 or i'm goin

uh was positioned with the west. r himself, the outcome of which will depend on judiciary all over the world. yes, as biden said. here in ukraine, the fate of democracy is being decided, in general e all over the world, that the world order in the whole world as a whole will depend on the outcome of this conflict and, e . and if not, then again, what are the prospects? that is , it turns out that and if they go to negotiations. now they are putting an end to the possibility of restoring western hegemony in the world. and if they pull to the end of ukraine completely loses. yes, the west is failing, in this case also the result is the same as you in this situation be they are writing now about the defeat of light but i think they are thinking about the defeat of the hard question because in the last few months. uh, they live in an idea bubble themselves. uh, watching the ukrainian crisis solely through properly edited footage of ukrainian successes and this is the kind of boxing match that shows only one boxer's hits a

, to reflect the west to get to the west, all this created the preconditions for precisely such a condescendings was over and when russia , uh, similar began to confess. uh, the same values ​​are also democracy. here liberalism, of course, is all this transfer. and a sense of reality came, and in this very reality, they realized that, of course, they were not on the path with russian democracy during the years of soviet power. many foreign writers were published in the soviet union with circulations of more than 25 million copies, reading to the public were daniel defoe and rediart kiplin and victor hugo and jules verne , but that these wonderful writers were russophobe soviet people. they simply did not know, since russophobic texts were not translated. for example, none of the fans of notre dame cathedral she did not suspect that victor hugo openly despised the russian people. from the address of victor hugo to the russian soldiers on february 15, 1863 yesterday 's serfs today's slaves forcibly torn away from the mothers of brides and families and you learned from your oppression only one les

but alas, given the policy that the west has been pursuing over the past four and a half months.e enough political wisdom there and i want to ask one more question precisely because of your very extensive experience with the valdai club and as a result of your experience with valdai club, which, as it were, was a platform for the international elite to get together and discuss various complex problems in many of these people. eh, you know, he was personally visited, probably, at the wax forum. here i have a question for you. do i have the correct impression that the degradation of these western internationals was taking place literally before our very eyes? it's like, uh, there's a huge number left in the west, a really large number of bright deep knowledgeable experts. they are in the intelligence community in the uk they is in the expert community in the united states and you dmitry are a prominent representative. but it is this part of e. in the western e -expert community there are still people like henry kissenger, like thomas graham, like john world shimer, who say the righ
