Identify that every single individual across the country is factors and latino. Im able to focus on any are you loud your money terry and assistance is not, not nature, not enough. And it kind of cool. Didnt feel that gap which currently exists. Yeah. And certainly the plight of this area, people does not get nearly enough coverage. Now you have been a very major voice calling for the listing of anti therion sanctions. Will you describe for us how those sanctions violate International Law when it comes to the Syrian People . Well, from the point of International Law is to basically allow trying to influence one another in the international relations. Unfortunately, to be whats called unilateral tension, quite often do not feel the criteria of rhetoric for example or counter measures. And in the situation of furio, there are no 3 or evolution from the Un Security Council imposing sanctions on theory, on individuals in peoria. The form i could observe in number of international legal, non reach youre affected by the use of unilateral sanctions on the 1st grant. And i need to speak about the violation of fundamental principles of International Law. Like principles of sobering, if you are the 2 principles of non intervention to the principle of be full set of international disputes, very, in the case of any control over c, d obliged to look for the peaceful solution of these discrepancy. So this gets him on that in position of sanctions against tires, teeth official basically undermine the sovereignty of the state, as well as imposing maximum Pressure Campaign also passed. The sobering t of the state rejects to the violent possibility of the states to participate in international relations. Go into some are the elements i need to mention. For example, the immunities of steve property taken to call that in unity of main estate companies. And as well as the assets of central bank and the number of other banks of syria have been pro abroad under the customer norm. So into national low state banks and property or feed companies enjoys in unity from international adjudication. And shouldnt be frozen and senior be that also on the mind, the principle of over you actually feel similar relations happen in the 0 of diplomatic law. There are serious problems, so full functioning of diplomatic commissions, as well as computer emissions of theory and or theory abroad. Take him to call that be a few issues come from the possibility to have a bank account possibility to insure it for the function of mission. Thats on the mind, the function in the sphere of computer protection, i provide the visa for a 2nd period abroad and so on and so forth. Basically alone, least of these measures. I need to mention that is from the preliminary report, i will continue to go deeper for preparation of the final report, but there are many elements of International Law which i talk to by the use of you know, where its all sanction. Yeah. And theres certainly a lot of say here, unfortunately, we have to leave it right there alina, do hon. You and special rapid tour on unilateral colors of measures and human rights. Thank you so much for your time and insight and for joining us. Thank you. And thats all for now. Be sure to check out our t dot com for all the latest. Well see you right back here at the top of the hour. Ah ah hello and welcome to cross out. Were all things are considered. Im Peter Lavelle for some reason, a number of so called european intellectuals and politicians maintain the e. You represents the highest level of human development. We are told europe is a garden and the rest of us live in the jungle. Rhetoric aside, europe is in serious trouble, hardly a model for the rest of the world. In fact, europe is declining into irrelevance. Ah, crossing europes decline. Im joined by my guest, John Laughlin in paris. He is a University Lecture in history and political philosophy in munich. We have ro, niemeyer, he is the chairman of the council for constitution and sovereignty, and in providence we have vladimir goldstein. He is the chair of the department of slavic studies at Brown University car. A gentleman cross stock rose in effect. That means you can jump any time you want, and i always appreciate, john, let me go to you 1st. Youve been on this program probably for since its inception, i know youre a straight talker. You dont mean to words. Im not going to means my words with my question. Does europe within the context of the e u when its current political elite have a death wish . Ah, thats a good question. I think in some ways, yes, i mean obviously what youre referring to in your question is the extraordinary way in which european leaders have taken orders from the americans. And its very important to understand that they did take orders from the americans. Im particularly of course, thinking of the closure of the not stream to pipeline. Im not talking about the sabotage at this point. Im talking about the closure back in february. Or whats remarkable is the way they take orders, and yet they are the ones of course, who suffer from these orders. I mean, weve seen this now for, for months since the ukraine war started, or the americans in a way, one the war on day one. Because the not stream to gas pipeline was closed down and or once it was closed down again, leaving aside the question of the later sabotaged. It was obviously always going to be very difficult for it to be opened up again. So indeed, one wonders whether they have a death wish because they doing things are all there in order to do stuff by other people which are not in their own interests. And i have to say that the death, which i think in my view, are manifest itself most obviously in green policy, so called green policy, which of course involves a negative growth, negative Economic Growth. A reduction in economic activity. Obviously a reduction in Energy Consumption reduction in a travel and all kinds of all the sort of other things that weve got used to in recent decades. And increasingly what we see, for example, very recently in the last day or so in france and in finland and in other countries. Now the idea of a carbon no permits which will track your Carbon Emissions. You know, every time you go and buy a pint of milk, you will law, you know, youll be told how much carbon that costs and the logical consequence of course, of this i in these kinds of ideas even if theyre presented as voluntary at 1st, is rationing and socialism Central Control and what was exactly where the soviet union was right up until 2 years ago. And that itself, if you like, that Service Experience was itself the kind of death wish. Because in the name of ideology, marsha and the soviet union and the other countries associated with it, pulled themselves further and further down until as we all know, they were living in pretty miserable material conditions. And im afraid i think europe is on that same predictor. And let me tell you not in your head is john was answering my question here. And you know, obviously the garden reference i made has to do with joseph burrell. And his ridiculous blogs. The 1st one and then once explaining why the 1st one made sense and then the compound, it is a dilemma by continuing to talk about a garden. Well, if we want to stay with the garden, the garden was real pretty because it had cheap energy, didnt it . And i mean its really kind of simple. Ok, i, you know, and john, visual jumps ahead of me. I wanted to talk about the be the bolshevik mindset here. But you know, more or less same question to you. I mean, everything that is being done in the name of ukraine and its democracy in its borders and all that is impoverishing europe. And what i dont understand, i can understand the u. S. Wanting to push out its competitors in europe. Okay, thats fine. But if europe becomes the industrialized and poor, then what kind of market do will it be for the americans . The export to not much you dont, you dont want to export. You cant export to poor people cuz they dont have any money. Vladimir. Yeah, i would say that, you know, what we been observing in recent years. Europe was doing very well precisely with a new research in russia. That is, you know, they had cheap energy. They managed to balance and lets face it, it was a pretty successful balance between certain kind of, you know, kind of social practices. They provide good medicine, they provide sort of, you know, social protections. I was given to these practices for producing good product and selling them all the world. So the model was working and its on this, the made it americans another company is kind of nervous. So they decided to throw a monkey wrench. And this monkey range, you know, in the form of ukraine worked very, very successfully. They somehow managed to kind of split the europe and split up by split in. I mean, you know, this very broad american leaders in the lead or somehow kind of believe that america knows best and Common People who have to pay a lot of money for the broad us who have to compete in the, in the market for the job. So this is monkey range is actually very working very well for United States, but europe is just kind of divided and they dont wanna actually face reality. And its a good emblem of house of americans doing that. You remember the very beginning of ukrainian crisis when newland ends up in a key of and discusses with American Ambassador the new leaders in key to which key ask the questions and what the european will think about are going to metal defense would you know people and she answered in the root word, well, basically, who cares about europeans with. But this is the attitude, and somehow it doesnt seem to repeat that this is the american who cares. If you guys, you know, by expensive stuff from us, youre, youre not going to be got any more. And you know, if hes honest burrell, he should have said that, yeah, were not it any more because america, not because of these kind of Supreme Understanding of how you are europe functions. You know, ralph, you know, they, you know, if we look at germany, germany is, you know, in the, in, in the, in the world, germany makes nice stuff. Nice cars, nice pens, nice industrial stuff. And now that seems to be fading away. I mean, i mean to someone to point out of my program bakeries that survived the 2nd world war in berlin are going out of business. Now. I mean that is it amazing comment here, and its all self inflicted. The german political elite does nods its head in does what washington says, rita, this is a europe has, has a toxic, a dependency and russian know it has a toxic relationship with the United States. Ralph and munich. Yes, i fully agree with you. And i must say, it is certainly, im sure that germany is the most of the vassals states that mr. Brewton said, were there in europe, and you saw to the beginning of the year, and chancellor charles had been in the white house, and mister biden said to the question, what about more stream to mister chancellor . The chancellor didnt answer that question of the reporter, but it was mister biden who sent out we have based to stop it. And thats what we have seen. Now ive been active with a garage router that former chancellor of germany to pursue the German Government and, and taking lot stream to our gas. And mr. Miller to confirm to me also mr. Pess cough at confirmed to me in september that they yes would be willing to give us gas through north stream to if, if the sanctions of course and the sanctions are clearly armor directed against our south, we shot ourselves into our own foot. If you look at the statement from our recent days now from the International Energy agency, i. E, a that said that our 10000000 tons of oil are under sanctions from russia to, to western europe. That is an enormous, its 2 thirds of the oil imports that we dont get any more. That is rising inflation. That is making life more expensive for everyone to tease that cost by products and so on. So the german industry is suffering worse. Now when i came to the chancellors office, i presented that offer from mr. Miller from cas prom. And i said to him that either he has to sign it or somebody else has to sign it, but then he has to re sign because we need the gas we needed for the drum and industries for the assamese and for to populate yes meant route on that but his id, but isnt the, you know, the green future doesnt that trump everything, john . Its really amazing how ukraine and the green agenda have collided together. Live at it at, at a godsend for, for washington. Because a you that we are killing 2 birds with one stone. Go ahead john. Yes, thats absolutely true. But dont forget, we had cobra for 2 years. Thats right. That also conjugated very easily with the green agenda. In fact, oh my center thing is a good pretext for the green agenda. The great reset, the famous great reset of june 2020 excel shrubs. Great reset was written of course of the, in the initial shock of the 1st locked downs. And he and all his other doubles group, he said that this was a great moment to to reset the world economy. And when you read the book, you can see that what hes really talking about is, is the green agenda, is what i said in my 1st answer. Its, you know, reduce the Economic Growth greater centralized control and so on. And now, more than 2 years later, we have, for example, in the united kingdom. I mean, thats just one example because its even more true what im about to say of germany and france and other countries. But for instance, if you take the united kingdom, which is, you know, has, Everybody Knows, has had several prime ministers since since wednesday, the latest one, the current one said only last year in glasgow. We have to rewire the world Financial System to aim from that 0 or to achieve that 0. We why the world Financial System . What that means is cooking the books together with the big accountancy firms, because he and pow schwab and the well taken away from him said theyve got the big accountancy firms, the big for international account. See firms on board . It means cooking. The books integrating things like Carbon Emissions and so on into Company Balance sheets, literally rigging the accounts in order to meet this net 0 target. And, and he said that in 2021 long before the war and ukraine. But yes, of course, now that youre no longer has hydrocarbons from russia, its obviously going to have reduce its consumption because Everybody Knows that the alternative sources of gas and other hydrocarbons do not exist. There isnt enough by natural gas, natural gas, and we certainly dont have the way it means to achieve john. John, i have to jump in here. I have to jump in and we have to go to a hard break. And after that hard break, well continue our discussion on europes declined state with our t ah ah with ah, welcome back to cross out, were all things are considered. Im peter labelle, tremonti, were discussing europes decline. Ah okay, lets go back to vladimir vladimir, youre here in the us and, and this is a week after the mid term elections and the final pitch, the democrats liberals made is that democracy is on the ballot. Okay. Kind of scare everybody. Ok, well the ballad of the ballot is democracy, but thats a beyond the point here. And then we have the case of out, well you the crusade to save ukraine is in the name of democracy which there is no democracy there. But my point is here is that everything we have talked about on this program thus far, its never been on the ballot. Nobody ever gets to both is dep beer. And that is really frustrating. They all do everything in the name of democracy. But democracy is what they fear most because no one would bolt for this. Vladimir. Yeah, i would, you know, grades even though the skill over american propaganda damaged moralist, hijacked the hopes, aspiration of a lot of progressive kind of educated people. They all want to know, green plan and democracy. They all want sort of, you know, you know, good, good things. And, you know, democrats and liberals and greens in germany, they pretend to promise it. But basically its a trojan horse that you know, they promise it, but underneath it what we, what we see is as the most kind of patient, greed, exploitation lies and so on. For me was very good example. And in germany, ok, they dont want to depend on russian. Yes. And then when they find themselves travel, why dont we bring cold . So like how grieved if you think about it, how this progressive group, which you know, what wants to improve the planet breen, a call a bring in a franken. What are they going to buy the stuff from america . We just basically pollutes a whole states here. So, so this is, this is the idea, but i think its a skill. But as of you know, leverage, youre being so dictated. They want to do the right thing, but theyre convinced that they are politicians, that the right thing is to follow this. A very obscure, very democratic i agree with you, but in democratic american agenda, which basically jones, a blended into concentration camp rather than the green planet. Thats what were observing. But you know that if people are convinced or they are marching to a concentration blend but that, but theyre thinking theyre mentioning that theyve gone into some kind of garden of democracy. You know, you know, ralph, ive been to germany many times in my life. And one of the things i like about germany will be very simple. The place works ok. It works well. I like it. Ok, you didnt feel comfortable there. All right . But you are, we are most harrimans willing to live with less or most germans willing to be poor for the environment. I mean, again, this has never been tested at the ballot box. Ralph . Yeah, well, youre absolutely right. No one is willing to sacrifice the standard of living and we see that in the refugee crisis in 2015 suddenly people become very political, although they may not go and vote. But its never put to a voting. Now the same with the cultural revolution that we have since since cove. It since the pandemic. We undergo agenda arisen energy b t q and we undergo
