It wrong or oil markets hit me for i go to game here how much is this also in a sense of the European Union claiming some form of economic sovereignty i mean it wasnt the last time we had a country dictating other countries trade policy was the soviet union with its Eastern European satellites i mean this is very very authoritarian dictating to countries who they can trade with i mean this also is a sovereignty issue yes. I agree if you look at the European Union wast it is a strategic ally to america it is also an Economic Zone it falls and all the way that lynn harris on it in exchange for trade in we have it on the way that the germans the french and the j. C. But the american representative on iran has recently said oh. Sure its our traits of america whats traits of iran and peter the problem is this is a rerun you know market even though its lucrative of course it cant compete with the American Market and thats where my concern is that when push comes to shove businesses in germany and france it could very well it gets it wrong for the american lance the intimidation here you know demon one of the one of the rings i wanted to do this topic is because in a much broader way the United States is using the dollar and the swiss system its been weaponized ok. This is remarkable that the u. S. Is going to leverage the swiss system against its allies against its adversaries here i mean what i see here this is devaluing the currency the League Global currency the u. S. Dollar and its the u. S. Thats doing itself its very self destructive in its self inflicted go ahead well i mean look at the statistics in 2013 less than 7 percent of the trade between china and russia was in yuan because again there were there was a lot of talk about the need to distance ourselves from the dollar but there was no immediate movement in 2013 so things were going slowly but already in 2017 already it was 18 percent of the trade that was in other currencies other than dollars so the movement is in that direction and its interesting how their american liberal press. Is reacting to that you know fareed sick or right here in the Washington Post writes that you know this ideal of instax is its basically one inside the can really in the coal mine and of the court at least some humor for its a career well that kerry in the coal mine has been there for many years now because it was not just drawn as far as a core a right its not just drawn administrations abuse of power its also a bombs administrations abuse of power its bill clintons of use of power so things were piling up and we all remember how somehow the war against iraq started soon after Saddam Hussein switched their payments for the iraqi oil to europe and we can see the same case we had then we have now with libya as well its not only europe india you know wall street journal is right in that it has evidence that india is buying oil from iran directly or you know bypassing the american banks bypass in their Federal Reserve system which has this terrible system of correspondent banks you not only of the correspondent banks can transact so india is doing that turkey all the countries after the turkish lira fell dramatically in 2018. And is right in that. Regard has been blaming for it foreign conspiracies for for the well as it is foreigners are doing it properly is there. You know all award of alternative media and some of the Mainstream Media in the United States directly linked the fall of lira to the actions of the and i know this is there is absolutely. And evidence which to direct you know that we go back to markets in london i mean this is a very interesting trend and i think future historians will look back at this and how the u. S. Destroyed its own currency position in the world because irrespective of politics it was a system where you could get busy. This is done now if its being politicized like this that the trend is why get involved because you get you could get you dont have to be necessarily afraid of the pentagon you have be afraid of the Treasury Department now its this using it as a political weapon is dangerous in south the strength to and people are going to start using other mechanisms as we see started in europe go ahead marcus well i think its close at all to argue that the dollar is even more potent so countries around the bend the American Military i say in my opinion that is absolutely the case but i still do not see any evidence any tangible evidence to suggest that the dollar is going to collapse that it is going to be supine by another currency and about if we take china for example china is also has also been accused by the americans of us circumvent and seeing the american restrictions on purchase in oil from iraq but it wouldnt take that much for Many Americans to deter china phone continuing supply iranian oil why because chinas economic progress over the last 40 years been in revenge which has been miraculous absolutely based on chinas trade and investment relationship with america and the chinese will not do anything to jeopardize that and if that means they stop by an oil from iran then beijing will do that whats crucial to the chinese economy is america. I mean but theres this sense of process here i agree with Marcus Papadopoulos i mean the dollar isnt going to collapse overnight but its starting a trend and starting a trend where if you want to avoid political problems maybe diversify your portfolio and not rely so much on the dollar and of course with the political and geopolitical events going on in the middle east i mean the petro dollar is at stake here nothing short of that go ahead well right now 60 percent of the savings you know all around the world are done in dollars only 20 percent of the savings are done in europes but that is the trend more and more savings are done in your office in japanese yen chaneys you on people are diversifying their investments in order to shield themselves from you know basically or from confiscation you know exactly the reason why russia has spoken so much about switching to. Our own currency is between us and china between us and iran and other countries the reason is you know 12 biggest Russian Company is were under sanctions last year and when it was announced in april 2000 it was then that the Russian Central Bank started watering that actually our essence in the United States would be frozen and this is written in the Mainstream Press in the west its not a secret you know its nature of our minister of finance you want to suggest that company is that trade with their foreign partners in their Current System or in rubles that they should get tax breaks so its becoming profitable more to trade in let me go here we go back to the i want you i want to switch gears real quick marcus i mean theres an iconic picture of floating around where putin meets to resume it looked like they were in Divorce Court it was really an amazing pigs ear he was not happy but he has a lot of reasons not to be happy i guess that that picture is putins going away present to or go. I had one minute to you. Well paid surveys and i still reeling from having been forced out of power by Foreign Policy in date by her own cabinets in a similar way we could all agree that Margaret Satchell yeah. So i think thats was the reason why its the reason why look distorted not so it sort of missed the points and indeed she actually looks distraught parliaments when im out parliaments and i see from the press gallery she does look a broken person but we also have to remember that brits and russia have never liked each other up and they never will like each other demuth 10 seconds guy well i think that she wanted to be frosty and she was for us to she was the snow queen but im not sure that that was the point that had a lasting image if she was still world to see if she stays in history like that she will be for always and you know thats exactly i think that was in the rose city in the worst Prime Minister in modern history ok im a gentleman im going to jump in here thanks marcus after a short break well continue our discussion on some real news today with r. T. Back. When i was still seemed wrong. But all wrong just dont call. Me ill get to see proud disdain become active. And engaged equals betrayal. When something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Crisis matter if its i mean crisis and they sure. Its as a scale a financial disaster and gunther just like malaysia. And they bring into this. Here when japan. For the problem of you say a group of substances which are the other being so for us and governments and International Organizations do not have enough time to do that. As we speak large organized caravans are on the march to the united. Sates virtual invasion of our country. In the form of what they are. Going to. See to do is you know were going to see a more. Notice. That. The. Welcome back to cross talk were all things are considered im peter live were discussing some real news. Ok and now were going to go to athens and were joined by Alex Christopher oh he is the director and writer for the duran dot com alex im going to go to you 1st here. I watched i have to confess not all of the 2 democratic debates ok i wasnt willing to give so much time away to that show and i was trying to discuss think of a catchy phrase for them and i would call them maybe like the free democrats because everything is free everything is free except for american citizens so it looks like they were really cant go on the road campaigning canvassing for illegals to get to participate in it because thats all they seem to talk about Free Health Care free education. No longer criminalizing breaking that of the law by crossing the border illegally i mean this was really a circus wasnt go ahead alex. Peter was it was a cloud show and youre exactly right i think i think the 2nd night of the debates you could watch it was watchable the 1st night i mean was just i think trump some good up best with one word it was boring its very very boring because i mean they all said the same thing. They all had the same script it was awful it was impossible to watch the whole thing impossible i dont even know if those people you know the actual lot of toribio actually got through the event but peter youre right the democrats are moving so far left i think democrats people who are going to be voting in the primary democrats and Middle America the heartland they dont understand what party this is anymore and the democrats seem to be addressing a voter base that either one doesnt even live in the United States and cant vote or number 2 basically lives in hollywood or somewhere in park avenue or in wall street thats it i mean their whole all the policies. They were discussing peter was all about open borders coupled with Care Health Care endless war are injured man bad russia did it 50 percent tax rate infanticide i mean these are positions that even even the most progressive america kid is unrecognizable for the Democrat Party al and alex and all of the issues you just mentioned not even 50 percent of the of the population agrees with those positions its not even close to 50 percent and theyre running with it. Ok alex and i have poured enormous cold water on these 2 primaries primary debates. But you probably know which 7 minutes one person spoke in the 1st debate that was made sense it is the congresswoman from why exactly. Said this very simple thing nor war with iran. That kind of that was the wisest thing that they heard from that show in which she pushed back against the establishment position. Endless war. The openness that the president can have to declare to wage war i mean they really really. That one issue they were all exactly on the same page and it took one brave person to say it was a failure it doesnt work we have to stop it well. Charles also pretty good when she said well tired of being 10 minutes away from a war one tweet away from a war with iraq iran and short of his demand this situation when trump actually said that i just asked our generals how many people are going to die they sent 150 and they canceled the strike 10 minutes before we went ahead well if indeed iran had been a terrorist state if indeed there. Billeted to stop terrorist actions in the United States in response right then trump would not be asking how many people are going to die in iran he would ask them how many people are going to die here right so when they say that we have Firm Evidence iran is involved in terrorist activities theyre lying because he never even mentioned you know i dont even i dont know maybe theyre lying ok thats possible but i theyre just plain ignorant is going to say you are absolutely there is no interest in this all is going to go back to athens on this issue because i mean this is something thats very close to our heart all 3 of us here i mean were watching the Democratic Party essentially become the war party and how dangerous that is. When you have the American Public that is so poorly informed on these issues all of these candidates with the one exception is grossly uninformed and not even interested because endless war is become part of the political fabric and the and the deep state the arms manufacturers the media are all in on it here and we had as one brave person stand up theyve been trying to smear her but that 7 minutes is the only thing memorable enough purse to bait the 2nd debate was a complete loss outs yeah i think the main point of both debates peter is that no one looked president ial except for tolls he cowbird and you know youre right they only gave her 7 minutes i mean they didnt give her any time to actually you know introduce herself to America Andrew yang had his mike cut off and now theres rumors floating around that n. B. C. Did it deliberately they didnt want andrew young to get his policy across to the American People so n. B. C. Did a very very poor job during these debates for towsley gabbert she was the most searched person after the after the debate that no one is really reporting that no one is talking about her peter the trump meat to fire bolt in tosi gabbert needs to step in that would be a killer move and put 2020. But you still that idea from whom because as i say you are happy to write a stack you write and that would be an awesome awesome outcome and trump would win 2028 without a doubt if he did that its go back to the debates alex i mean i thought the moderators were supremely awful i mean this was the most the ultimate softball debate that i think ive ever seen in my lifetime no hard questions at all i mean i said theyre in cahoots here they want to maintain this mano political culture this mano political conversation. Here theyre asking questions where they had the candidates actually raise their hand yes. Listen it was like like you were in school or something you did it to you one was really hands on top of it and we could not talk a little bit about Joe Biden Joe biden would look around to see who was voting if hed be would put his hand out i mean there is there is conviction bar you go a demon. In russia there was some criticism of this debate brain matter only because it looks like no one actually took into account the past or that of the candidates and all of that of the moderators i mean Rachel Maddow to hear us all of these tweets hanta for. You know that collusion between trump and russians now shes asking questions and no wonder one of the candidates named that. Is telling her that basically. Drawn plays been unable to stand up to Vladimir Putin who attacked in the way he did oh democracy in 2016 and was invited to do so again by trump well you know trump said dont meddle in our elections with rory and you know he he smiled and all of the American Media concentrated on that smile with you does focus money go to the beach is work out in spanish i mean. Because it has no knowledge of international apparently stand there and of all rule statement you know tromp braze dictators at the expense of gray do more christmas with a great democracy is probably. Right on exactly all of these people and people in russia are asking ok can you just forget can you just forget that maddow has been saying it all of these 2 years m. S. N. B. C. Is a ratings went down because of because of these you know this and this whole you know instant should mean it was a hoax about. Because of the same thing with the war the russians are asking or gay shes saying nice whats now but she went to that war which was profoundly just you know at the very wast moment when when you know in 25650. 00 will get a look at both of those debate stages was only one person that had any kind of dignity you know alexander crisp or as silly right she was president ial likes i mean i have to think trumps flight back to the United States is going to have a huge bucket of popcorn i mean. Where is the gravitas on the democrat exaggerated nothing there and on top of it bernie is looking more moderate i mean think of 2016 he was on the edge now hes in the middle i think Middle America is that its going to be theyre not going to recognize this this kind of politics and its a politics that begets them the democrats have learned nothing from 2016 the heartland continues to be dismissed as deplorable zz and
