Dimitri KalyuginHOST
And sadly, BRICS isn't going to be resolving this.
Dimitri KalyuginHOST
So in some con- in some ways, Conrad, Conrad, uh, BRICS as a financial economic network, how does this tie into the Orthodox Christian prophecies about what will transpire in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Black Sea, the war between Greece and Turkey? I think it will have a minimal impact, really.
Dimitri KalyuginHOST
I mean, a lot of the, a lot of the major f- economic investments that Russia has been, uh, basically pushing into Azerbaijan, into Turkey, building of the Mersin nuclear power plant in Turkey, for example, the, uh, Bosporus and Dardanelles, none of these fall into the vicinity of interest of Bri- of BRICS.
Dimitri KalyuginHOST
BRICS just simply has no leverage to comment or even...
Dimitri KalyuginHOST
And none of their statements will be taken seriously in this Eastern Mediterranean region.
Dimitri KalyuginHOST
So I think it's a major concern that unfortunately, uh, if we do see any sort of escalation between for example Greece Turkey or Russia Turkey the BRICS commentary on it will be almost non-existent there'll be no there'll be no no sort of weight that a BRICS urgent summit meeting will be held I think the UN general secretary being present at the BRICS summit is a pretty big big deal because obviously that particular position although it is more of a token representative position it does basically mean that BRICS officially is now considered as this like major network very similar not on the same level as the United Nations but clearly it's a in in the top five in the top three top five most important meeting places in the world where you know big decisions will be made in terms of Modi exactly what his positions are well we just have to keep in mind I think India is really buying its time and sort of trying to take a very neutral position on the whole Iran on the Iran issue because we understand Modi is friends with not just he's not just with Russia which is an Iranian ally very very close relationship there but also very friendly with Israel the GCC states you remember the whole New Delhi UAE basically transportation line that they were developing and of course that will tie into Israel as well there's big long-term economic projects which I think it was the Mumbai Dubai line which they were developing now of course that's brought around now I think that's been put on hold we have to just keep in mind that the fact that it's happening in in New Delhi in India a country which is UAE friendly which is also Israel friendly yeah the BRICS summit's not going to come to any positive conclusion for Russia and Iran sadly only these very PR friendly HR friendly statements so and the US is simply not going to have any of it Trump will ignore it Trump will counter signal it and he'll say that BRICS is irrelevant and I think in terms of the eastern Mediterranean Trump is almost completely correct like Lebanon Turkey Greece these countries unfortunately are just not within the scope of BRICS at this stage and the concerns at the BRICS summit
Conrad FranzHOST
Again, Turkey, the Mecca agreement, a lot of that was obviously interpreted as very anti-Indian endeavor.
Conrad FranzHOST
So India being the big old I in BRICS, I guess they're not going to appreciate that.

Yes, yes.
Laith MaroufGUEST
We went to Spain and Portugal and we filmed their field reports and documentaries and interviews about the history of resistance to Zionism and support for the liberation of Palestine, as well as the historical relations between the East Mediterranean and the West Mediterranean, going back all the way to the Canaanites and the Phoenicians.
Laith MaroufGUEST
By the way, The oldest city in Europe is called Cades, which is in the south of Spain, where it is now Spain.
Laith MaroufGUEST

John BatchelorHOST
The competing empires no longer corresponded, trade stopped, and there was a reawakening of savagery.
John BatchelorHOST
However, we're before that.
Stephen K. BannonHOST

The result has many wondering if Germany's political center can still isolate the far right, while broader questions are emerging about what this could mean for Europe.

speaker_2HOST
The local secular clergy despised them.
