Based on its population and GDP, the EU should be sharing #1 global power status with China. Together, they could end wars, prosecute war crimes and genocide, and help the planet transition to peace, prosperity, and sustainability.

Instead, Europe, unlike China, has allowed itself to be crushed by the Epstein class—the Jewish-Zionist oligarchs who rule the USA from their ethnic crime base in Tel Aviv.

This winter, as the Euro-peasants freeze and starve in the dark thanks to the Zionist-occupied US empire blowing up their energy supplies, will those peasants rise up in revolt? -KB

Press TV: Good evening. From Paris and Brussels to protests in Albania and growing affordability concerns in Spain, economic discontent is putting European governments under pressure. Rising energy costs, expensive housing, strained public services and austerity measures are squeezing households while governments face mounting debt and difficult budget choices.

The war against Iran has added a fresh energy shock to an economy already dealing with the consequences of the conflict in Ukraine. So how much of Europe’s cost-of-living crisis is driven by war? And how much of it is driven by deeper economic problems? And who is paying the price? That’s what we’ll be discussing tonight with our guests.

Joining us is Kevin Barrett, editor of Al-Andalus Tribune, from the city of Saidia in Morocco. And also joining us will be Mick Napier, co-founder of a Scottish Palestine solidarity campaign, from the city of Glasgow. Mr. Barrett, thank you so much for your time tonight.

I’m going to begin with your initial thoughts on what we are seeing on the streets and different capital cities across Europe. You’re seeing demonstrations and growing public anger… Would you say that this is just a normal and common European cost of living crisis or we are seeing actually different national problems all at the same time converging?

Kevin Barrett: I think this is a more intense and complicated crisis than the usual economic protests that happen cyclically in European capitals, in particular in Paris. There’s a long history (of student protests against tuition and in favor of better educational facilities.) So that’s been going on forever.

But now we’re seeing a new situation. European society is in a state of moral as well as economic crisis. Emmanuel Todd is the most interesting thinker who’s delved into this, the rise of nihilism, the loss of a sense of meaning in life. I think that’s part of the problem.

And then politically, you have elites who are completely disconnected from the normal European people, especially those in harder economic circumstances. The elites have chosen policies that intensify the problem of the misappropriation and maldistribution of wealth, more and more going to the top, the billionaire Epstein class.

The European elite has been complicit in Europe being crushed and defeated in wars waged by the Americans and their Israeli masters.

And in foreign policy, the European elite has been complicit in Europe being crushed and defeated in wars waged by the Americans and their Israeli masters. In particular, the Europeans jumped in on the side of the Americans when the Americans attacked Russia through Ukraine and blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, thereby robbing Europe of cheap energy and killing Europe’s industrial sector and economy.

European leaders have gotten even more excited about this American war on Russia through Ukraine than the Americans are. And in fact, I would say that this is really mostly an American war against Europe, because Europe (unlike Russia) could be more powerful than the United States, thanks to its population and potential GDP.

And then there’s Trump’s insane war on Iran, guided by Netanyahu with his Epstein blackmail material on the American president. And the Europeans have not put up any meaningful resistance. This war, too, is killing the European economy. So the Europeans have mortgaged themselves to the Zionist oligarchs of the Epstein class who run the American empire, and they’ve relegated themselves not only to second-class status, but to economic penury. And the citizens are fed up with this, and they’re rising up.

Press TV: Mr. Napier, thank you so much for your time tonight as well. The euro area inflation rose to 3.8 percent and that was in September with energy making a major contribution. How directly is the latest energy shock that is coming, as Mr. Barrett was just alluding to, from the Iran war? And what other causes do you see that are contributing to the current situation in Europe?

Mick Napier: Well, it comes on top of a long process of redistribution of wealth, certainly in Britain, but also other countries, from the majority to a very tiny minority. We have in Britain a situation where a couple of million families each day are experiencing real hunger. And children are missing one meal a day simply to get by. Families have to choose between heating their homes in winter or having enough food. So it’s a very serious crisis at the bottom of society. But I can only imagine, I’m not an expert, that it’s very much the same in
