Is the U.S. Empire Crumbling Before Our Eyes?
"This week is beginning pretty quiet on the crypto front. The FTX bankruptcy estate released a report with not a ton of new info or things that we didn't know, just more lurid details. Now I would say all in all, people's heads are definitely on the bigger issues swirling around. Take for example a post that went quite viral over the weekend from Adam Driver on Twitter, whose profile reads not the Adam Driver from Star Wars. The thread kicks off the empire is imploding and goes through more than 30 recent stories all relating to the supposed collapse or at least radically shifting landscape of the American led global order. A few of atoms examples. Number three Saudi openly divorces USA and ties nuptials with Iran and China. Number four D dollarization trade agreement signed. Number 5 Taiwan strait controlled by China. Number 17, China domestic chip manufacturing advancing rapidly. Number 18 American banking system on brink of collapse. Number 20, mass protesting in Franks, Macron struggling to keep control. 25 swift system alternative developed by Russia slash Iran increasingly being adopted. 26 an unusual increase in train derailments, factory explosions, chemical spills and contamination events across the U.S.. Number 30, demand for Zimbabwe's gold coin skyrocketing following calls by African leaders to stop using the USD as a primary currency. Now, I don't totally agree with all of the characterizations of events in the thread, but that sort of secondary to the broader point, which is that the collection of these things under this framework of the empire is imploding clearly has resonance. So we're going to use that as a jumping off point today for a bit of a geopolitics primer and catch up. And let's start on the themes of trade, China, and changing alignment. Last week, French president Emmanuel Macron and EU commission president Ursula von der leyen visited Beijing to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping. The two European leaders had somewhat diverging interest during their visit. Borderland represented the concerns of the European Union, articulating that continued friendly relations with China were contingent on Beijing refusing to provide material support to Russia in a speech last week ahead of the visit, she said that China's interactions with Russia quote will be a determining factor in U China relations. Underlying stress the goal of quote derisking trade with China, a somewhat softer touch than the American rhetoric of a decoupling, but still strong enough to convey her concern for protecting European interests.

Macron in China urges 'shared responsibility for peace'
"French president Emmanuel Macron says he wants to engage China towards a shared responsibility for peace in Ukraine when he meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week.

In a show of European unity. She and Putin declare their governments had a no limits friendship before Moscow's February 2022 attack on Ukraine, while Macron wants to try to build and somehow engage China toward a shared responsibility for peace and stability on international issues, including Ukraine.

together And that's a win for all of us So I thank you all and I am now going to yield the podium The president pulled this out And you're listening to a live address from President Biden Speaking in Brussels alongside the European Commission president Ursula von der leyen the announcement of an agreement to try to wean Europe off its dependence on Russian energy and speaking now is the European Commission president Ursula von der leyen In Brussels this week at the NATO summit at the G 7 and at our European council sends a very powerful message to the world The transatlantic partnership stands stronger and more united than ever And we are determined to stand up against Russia's brutal war This war will be a strategic failure for Putin Our cooperation on the four successive waves of sanctions against Russia has been extraordinary and exceptional The sanctions are now working their way deep into the Russian system draining Putin's resources to finance this atrocious war Our work on sanctions also shows that when we act together we are stronger and we really can make a difference And we are continuing to reinforce our cooperation in many strategic ways On humanitarian and security assistance to Ukraine on energy and fighting the threats against our democracies on solving outstanding issues in the EU U.S. cooperation including a data protection and privacy In a world faced with disorder our transatlantic unity upholds fundamental values and rules that our citizens believe in Let me focus first on refugees Until now around three and a half million people have left Ukraine half of them children every second refugee is a child And the numbers will keep rising So together we are mobilizing massive resources to support those displaced by the conflict be it in Ukraine or in the neighboring countries Just this week for example I announced that the European Union will allocate an extra €3.4 billion for this purpose and more will come This demonstrates our deep support for Ukraine and its citizens And I want to tell the American people how grateful Europe is for their unwavering support This support also extends to strengthening Europe's energy security and independence from Russian fossil fuels As you know we aim to reduce this dependency on Russian fossil fuels and to get rid of it And this can only be achieved through of course first of all investment in renewables but also through additional gas supplies including LNG deliveries So we want as Europeans to diversify away from Russia towards suppliers that we trust that our friends and that are reliable And therefore the U.S. commitment to provide the European Union with additional at least 15 billion m³ of LNG this year is a big step in this direction Because this will replace the LNG supply recurrently received from Russia And looking ahead the United States and Europe will ensure stable demand and supply for additional at least 50 billion m³ of U.S. LNG until 2030 and if we look at that this amount 50 BC emperor here is replacing one third already of the Russian gas going to Europe today so we are right in on track now to diversify away from Russian gas and towards our friends and partners reliable and trustworthy suppliers We need to secure our supplies not just for next winter but also for the years ahead And this is an important big starting point to do that Our partnership aims to sustain us through this war to work on our independence from Russian fossil fuels but it also focuses on building a greener future with climate neutrality We will work together also with our energy intensive industry and the good news is that the infrastructure that we use for gas today can be used for clean hydrogen in the future so this investment we are doing right now is also an investment in the decarbonizing of our economy The corporation shows the power of our democracies I particularly welcome that we will step up our respective action on strengthening democracies the rule of law the freedom of media in the world and we also need to continue adapting our own democracies to a changing world This is particularly true when it comes to digitalization In which the protection of personal data and privacy has become so crucial And therefore I'm very pleased that we have found an agreement in principle on a new framework for transatlantic data flows This will enable predictable and trustworthy data flows between the EU and U.S. safeguarding privacy and civil liberties And I really want to thank commissioner reminders and secretary raimondo for their tireless efforts over the past month to finish a balanced and effective solution This is another step in our strengthening our partnership We managed to balance security and the right to privacy and data protection Mister president Diaz Putin is trying to turn back the clock to another era an era of brutal use of force of power politics of spheres of influence and internal repression I am confident he will fail We are working together To forge a peaceful prosperous and sustainable future And I know we will succeed Thank you very much The European Commission president Ursula von der

Russian energy and let's take a deeper dive into this agreement and the latest developments were joined along with my co anchor Nathan Hager with Greg valier the chief U.S. policy strategist at AGF investment Greg another display of a united front your take this morning Well you're absolutely right I think the unity is really quite impressive As many people have commented and I would agree I don't think Vladimir Putin expected this kind of unity So it's a good sign But when it comes to all the energy stuff the devil will be in the details A lot to be worked out in terms of infrastructure to accept natural gas in Western Europe Yeah I'm no logistics expert but I can tell you that Germany for instance doesn't have an LNG terminal at least at the moment Exactly right Maybe in a couple of years they will But I don't think it's going to be imminent And that's a problem There's other issues as well including huge U.S. shipments to Asia will they have to slow will that drive China to burn more coal in many respects despite what Joe Biden said a few minutes ago This is not a good story for the environmental movement It relies even more on fossil fuels And Greg it's Nathan And I have to think that this announcement with the details still need to be worked out It can only add to the volatility we've seen in the energy markets What do you think is going to happen with the price of natural gas The price of oil with this going forward Well it should keep the price pretty elevated Nathan I don't know if it's going to go a lot higher but energy continues to be a big uncertainty I'd probably walk back and look at the big picture after what we've just heard and conclude that there is this remarkable unity that the Russians I think are facing a depression with a capital D over the next few months Yes wanted to ask a little bit about that because in the lead up even before the invasion there were a lot of questions about whether Germany in particular would be on board with tightening the kinds of energy sanctions that Ukraine in particular has been looking for Do you get the sense now after these emergency summits in Brussels that we are seeing more unity between the U.S. NATO and Europe when it comes to Russia Yes I do I think that the Germans still have to be persuaded on a lot of the LNG activity as we just discussed But I would say that most all of Europe is on board There are a lot of countries that aren't India isn't China probably isn't To me the key country in the next few weeks is going to be turkey of all places I think the Turkish prime minister could be an important intermediary So you're getting an awful lot of countries trying to help trying to bring this to a close Greg Ursula von der leyen saying at the end of her address there that the sanctions are.

Top EU official proposes new 2030 target to reduce emissions
"Earlier today. European Commission President Ursula von Delaying gave her first State of the Union address to the European. Parliament. It's fair to say that it has been and will be more closely scrutinized than the setpiece usually is the EU is beset like the rest of the world by an ongoing pandemic and associated economic turbulence, and also attempting to ease the United Kingdom out of the block with as little damage to the fixtures and fittings as possible and the UK's latest history on x over the last week or so demonstrate that this remains an unsolved problem while joined with more Bite Niamey Leery Europe correspondent at the Irish Times. Niamey before we talk about the details of what Slovan delay and had to say, did it strike you? There was an overall theme or tone she was swinging for I. Think it was quite striking. Future focused. She talked about how can we get out of the Democrats economic repercussions in a way that says. The continent for the future. So it was very much to do with tying together the various different goals whether that's a climate and economic development where increasing digitalization on. Also a one section of her speech, which I thought was particularly strong was on discrimination and efforts at kind of acknowledging the reality in the block of racism and discrimination. Based on sexual orientation or religious beliefs. So it was quite wide ranging and then the other aspect of it was. She proposed making it easier for the EU to come up with common policy when it comes to international relations particularly on matters relating to human rights sanctions. So just as a liberation on that idea of general tone this being her first state of the Union as as commission president does it does it seem that we understand what her idea of the European Union is. I think she Saturday as being. A sort of an unfinished project what it ought to be somewhere where people can have a quality of life get paid fairly for work have social protections that you're does better on that than other parts of the world, and that's part of the reason why able better able to weather the pandemic but that it's not enough and she said that there would be a new framework introduced to. Member states to set minimum wages in order to make work pay property. Then an in addition to that there was the The section on discrimination which I think was unusual in acknowledged the struggles in the block in terms of she mentioned a particular discrimination against Rome people on also the LGBTQ I free zones in. Poland or she called out as inhumane. And so I think she's she was quite strong meticulous division of the block as being a place where people and live more freely with rights and have a better quality of life in general but I think that she also you know it's it's. It's quite telling that she. She had. Many. Difficulties take me in terms of international relations they were for her to talk about it was difficult relationship with Russia difficult relationship with China difficult relationship with the United States difficult relationship Britain as well. Well, let's talk about some of those difficult relationships and because we are here broadcasting from London let's talk about the difficult relationship. The now has with the UK did brexit get much of a mention? She did mention us. So she said that with every day that passes it becomes more difficult for deal to be reached and she also said that. The EU would stand by with the agreement would never at go back on its the an agreement that had been passed by the European Parliament Anheuser Commons and that had been jointly agreed by the UK Andy you to Protect citizen's rights but also she said first and foremost the Good Friday Agreement on the department and it was quite interesting as well to know that she she also quote the late John Hume, the Nobel laureate. And former SDLP leader from dairy and she said that she described him as one of the Great Europeans. And mentioned that he he recently passed away on us used a quote from him to kind of talk about the strength of diversity which I thought was quite. An interesting use of quotes. It was notable high. She was sort of writing in that story, which is I suppose a Northern Irish story really into this story of the European Union. You mentioned the difficulty of the relationship with Russia and obviously the country of which us live underlying walls defense minister. Germany has found itself once again. On the front line over that relationship having taken in the apparently poisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny did she took you light any kind of? Way of how the e you can live alongside Russia. She was quite I thought her words were quite firm on Russia's so she said. That the poison she mentioned the poisoner Nevada and said that it wasn't a one sauce and she said, no. Number of gas, pipelines is GONNA. Is GonNa fix that relationship she also am I thought spoke quite in quite heartfelt way in solidarity with the people of Belarus Moore she said that they'd be brave and gone out on the streets and they should have the they shouldn't be pieces on someone else's chessboard what she said, but they should have the ability to determine their own future. You said at the top of this item that she attempted to link the recovery. Well, hopeful eventual recovery from the pandemic the associated economic problems to broader themes of climate in the future on climate in particular. Did she have anything of note to say. So. What? What under nine has proposed that the target for the block to reduce emissions should be increased fifty five percent by twenty thirty, that's compared to a previous commitment to forty percent. This is compared to nine thousand, nine, hundred levels of emissions, and she said that this would be vital in order for the block to reach its Paris Agreement commitments on also its goal of becoming climate neutral by twenty fifty on the way she she described the landmark agreement of the e you to join me borrow seven, hundred, fifty, billion, euro. As an opportunity to do this by directing at least thirty percent or thirty seven percent of the investment towards green initiatives. So things like development of green hydrogen. Renovating homes with. Forty percent of emissions and also. Increasing the car charging network electric vehicle charging that things like that an while this could go in. With kind of digital developments there. For example, at fast broadband were available continent wide including in rural areas that would both alive for rural development but also for things like you know people to work from home more easily and things like that. So she she s she she argued that these things could go hand in hand essentially. But Green groups have been quick to come out and say that fifty five percent of the target isn't enough now some of them had themselves called for that in the. In the past but I guess with the scale of the disaster that they say we're facing, you know they're always going to want to push for more and more ambitious targets
