PressTV Economic Divide's, "Israel’s Economy Is in Crisis Mode" discusses a defeated front in the war of genocide waged against Palestine. That is the costly economic front. Who will pay the costs? Those who shoulder the economic costs include the US, EU and NATO taxpayers. Notice how the planned budget was for only 60 days. The attack against Gaza is now in its 88th day with no sign of ending soon. The occupiers of Palestine are economically wounded. Speakers are: Alice Rothchild; author, filmmaker and member of "Jewish Voice for Peace" Wafic Faour; Vermonters for Justice in Palestine Some of the detailed points made on how this is costing the occupiers: 1. The difference in the occupiers economy prior to October 7, 2023 versus what is will be once the bombing ends. 2. Loss of tax income 3. Economic toll on businesses 4. Loss of workers, capital investment, available cash 5. Loss due to subsidizing businesses, workers pay, reservists.... 6. Boycotting including the products produced by the occupiers. How things were prior to October 7th in Palestine, will not be the same after the genocide war against Palestine ends. Although Economic Divide discusses the economic damage that has been done, there is damage to international standings. Much irreparable damage has been done.

Non-Aligned nations continue to stand firm in their foreign policy regarding the conflict in Ukraine and western sanctions against Russia. At the recent EU-CELAC Summit, they held the 27 NATO countries to seek peace in Ukraine. Having experienced western imperialism, they do not buy into the West's anti-Russian narrative. Created in 2011, The Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, CELAC is a regional forum that brings together all of Latin America and the Caribbean countries. The 33 countries of CELAC met with EU countries on July 17th & 18th 2023 in Brussels for the 3rd EU-CELAC Summit. The last meet was eight years ago. While the European Commission put a face of unity at the Summit, member states of CELAC: 1. continued refusal to condemn Russia's SMO in Ukraine 2. Spoke against sanctions on Russia 3. Called for an end to the conflict in Ukraine and for peace Given current world events and the timing of the EU-CELAC the need for Europe mend relationships with Central and South America cannot be overlooked. Despite the promises of investment and the signature of several deals, the war in Ukraine plagued a summit between the EU and CELAC countries. There was no agreement on a statement regarding the conflict in Ukraine. Given the years of divisions and tensions between western countries and Central and South American countries, the EU will have to put in additional efforts. At the end of the Summit, the EU and CELAC countries remained very much divided when it came to the conflict in Ukraine and Anti Russia sentiment. **Resources** EU Leaders Come Under Pressure to Change Their Ukraine War Policy https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/07/19/707321/EU-leaders-come-under-pressure-to-change-their-Ukraine-war-policy _Calls for peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine overshadow a summit of leaders from the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean in Brussels.

Chicago, Illinois residents were interviewed on the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. It is not just the so-called right. It is also the so-called left that protests the US intervention into Ukraine. Chicago and the state of Illinois are Blue. Illinois is one of the three major states Democratic candidates need in order to win the presidency of the United States. The other two states are California and New York. Western media portrays the anti US intervention into Ukraine along political lines. It does not reveal that members of both parties are against the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. Of note, Chicago does have a sizable Ukrainian population. Chicago as New York City mirrors the melting pot that America is. Their protest against the conflict in Ukraine is done as an anti-Russian invasion into Ukraine. The US media publishes their views on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. PressTV has done on the street interviews of Chicago residents around the sending of cluster bombs to Ukraine. More was said than expected. I have much hope for the American voter. More and more do not register as Democrat or Republican. It is estimated that around 40% of American voters are registered as Independents.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal recently addressed the UN Security Council. He spoke on the US funding of the conflict in Ukraine including theft from Social Security. He spoke on the role of US military aid to Ukraine in escalating the conflict with Russia and the real motives behind Washington's support for Kiev's proxy war. He revealed how members of the Biden administration such as SOD Lloyd Austin, SOS Antony Blinken and US representative to the US, Linda Thomas-Greenfield and others have financial profited from the conflict in Ukraine. That includes connection with corporations such as BlackRock. It is a presentation that should be heard not only by other countries and their citizens but, especially by US citizens. Much appreciation to Max Blumenthal and the members of The Grayzone for their audit on the US Congress' funding of the conflict in Ukraine.

European leaders met to discuss plans going forward due to failure of the Wagner Group mutiny attempt. How to spin it will be a major talking point. A weakened Russia is already emerging as a spin. And of course, it has to be linked to a nuclear threat. The results the US, EU and NATO hoped for did not come into fruition. The timing conclusion to what has been called a coup, a mutiny, treason... has shown the stability and maturity of The Russian Federation. It will be interesting to see how the efforts of the Wagner Group will be treated during the upcoming NATO Summit in July. There is very little difference between NATO and the EU. Both are US controlled and planned. The US fought hard to end the threat of the Soviet Union, only to create two versions of its own in Europe. There is also mention of more failures of the West around the Special Military Operation. **Resources** Experts Rebuke West's Portrayal of Weakened Putin as Merely 'Wishful Thinking' https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/06/27/706028/Experts-rebuke-West-s-portrayal-of-weakened-Putin-as--wishful-thinking- _EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell claims Russia may have entered an era of political instability and internal fragility following Vladimir Putin's brief standoff with the Wagner Group, but experts insist the West's portrayal of a weakened Putin is merely based on wishful thinking._ PressTV #Wagner #EuropeanUnion #Russia #UnitedStates #Prigozhin #Putin #Belarus #Lukaschenko #sanction #Ukraine #Borrell #WagnerGroup #NATO

After nine years of war waged by Kiev, its military and groups like the Azov Battalion in Mariupol of the Donbass, rebuilding is underway.

The current recession within the Eurozone states and its causes is the topic of discussion with Harley Schlanger of the Schiller Institute Germany, Paolo Raffone Secretary General Council for Inclusive Capitalism (CIPI ) Foundation and PressTV Spotlight. Some of the Eurozone's self-inflicted causes of its recession discussed are: 1. The reasons for rising prices such as sanctions 2. Decoupling from China and Russia 3. Changes in energy sources 4. The reasons why businesses are leaving member countries 5. The conflict in Ukraine 6. The reasons for a decline in household spending 7. European Union policies In the first three months of the year, economic output in the Eurozone dropped 0.1% compared with the previous quarter, thus sending it into a recession. The Eurozone's largest economy, Germany is suffering due to impact from conflict in Ukraine. The Eurozone comprises 20 European Union members whose primary currency and sole legal tender is the Euro. European countries and European Union members that are not part of the Eurozone, are also facing similar concerns listed here as causes of the Eurozone's recession. Due to narrow growth countries like Britain will avoid a recession even though it is experiencing high inflation. Another worry is a potential rise in debt defaults. Predictions are mixed but decline is expected coming months and into next year. Capitalism cannot function or exist without consumer spending. **Resources** Eurozone in Recession https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/06/08/704951/EUROZONE-IN-RECESSION _To say that it's only because of the Ukraine war would be premature, but it has certainly contributed to it.

Radio producer and political analyst, Frank Emspak and Gilbert Doctorow, Independent International Affairs Analyst discuss with Spotlight the recent, June 1 - 2, 2023 meeting in South Africa of Foreign Ministers from the BRICS country members. It was in preparation for the August 2023 BRICS Summit. Their discussion touches on: 1. BRICS as the world moves towards multipolarism 2. De-dollarization and US hegemony 3. BRICS currency and bank, New Development Bank (NDB) 4. BRICS as a parallel institution versus a replacement, alternative South Africa is the "S" in BRICS. South Africa has recently come under pressure from the United States regarding the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant for President Putin. This has led to questioning whether South Africa will carry out the arrest warrant; whether SA should host the 2023 BRICS Summit and why the ICC specifically targets African nations? Most reports are that South Africa is refusing to carry out the ICC arrest warrant during the upcoming August 2023 BRICS Summit. It has issued diplomatic immunity to all leaders attending both the BRICS Foreign Ministers meeting and the August Summit. The US is punishing and trying to intimidate countries like South Africa who have not joined in its sanctions against The Russian Federation. In March 2023, the ICC accused President Putin of responsibility for the war crime of deporting Ukrainian children - at least hundreds, possibly more - to Russia. Children were evacuated in response to Ukraine's increased attacks in February 2022 against the Donetsk and Luhansk. These attacks continue. There was a mass exodus of people and families from the two days prior to the beginning of the Special Military Operation. Recently children in the Belgorod area were also evacuated in response to attacks from Kiev and its military. The International Criminal Court considers such measures to protect children as a war crime. During their meeting, the Foreign Ministers expressed their full support to South Africa's BRICS Chairship in 2023 under the theme “BRICS and Africa: Partnership for Mutually Accelerated Growth, Sustainable Development, and Inclusive Multilateralism”. *Information Source* BRICS Meeting in Cape Town https://www.presstv.ir/Detail/2023/06/02/704589/BRICS-MEETNG-IN-CAPE-TOWN _South Africa hosts a foreign ministerial meeting of the BRICS countries as the bloc is considering mechanisms to accept new members.

This is a May 5, 2023 podcast interview of Colonel Douglas MacGregor on the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine. He is interviewed by 2024 presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Information is discussed that rarely if ever reaches mainstream western media. The presidential run of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is bringing light to the truths on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. Washington, DC, NATO, the European Union and western mainstream media fail to report the true information on the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. That includes an omission of the history that led up to the SMO. In the podcast, Colonel MacGregor covers past and current events that led to the Special Military Operation and keeps it going.
