May 12—Even as this weekend the Pope meets with Zelenskyy, China conducts foreign policy on multiple fronts in Europe, and LaRouche forces put forth the message of a global Glass-Steagall as more and more banks collapse in the United States, it is important to keep in view the mission to which we are dedicated. “I think what is required is to really define a completely new paradigm in thinking, to start with the common interest of the one humanity, put the national interests in the context of that, and then find a way of overcoming these supposedly unbridgeable difficulties, because the Global South—that’s 85% of the human population—they want to end colonialism. They do not want anymore to be deprived of economic development. And because of the Belt and Road Initiative, which is now ten years in progress, many countries see for the first time the perspective of overcoming underdevelopment and poverty. Europe should join with China in that endeavor!”
