CrossTalk is a TV debate experience which presents hot-topic discussions on politics, business, newsmakers, global trends, present-day conflicts, and dangers and challenges facing our world. Host Peter Lavelle poses hard, straightforward questions to his guests, and demands concrete answers in response.
Ukraine reboot?
Here we go again. With Democrats again in full control of the Congress, some hope to return to the Biden Administration’s Ukraine policies. How that would help Ukraine is never explained. However, one thing is certain: an even greater and disastrous outcome for the Kiev regime. CrossTalking with Matthew Crosston and Constantin von Hoffmeister.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: After the midterms
With the US midterms over and the results in, how could foreign policy change? Will the approach to the war on Iran and the conflict in Ukraine be affected? Also, does European NATO really want to go war with Russia? CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
Historic wave?
The US midterm elections have come and gone. In the wake of this cycle, the GOP finds itself mauled and left for roadkill. It is already being hailed as a historic election. However, is it really a ‘change election’? This is yet to be determined. CrossTalking with Lionel and Wilmer Leon.
Democracy, really?
Do people get the rulers they deserve? Does democracy, as it is practiced in the West, truly represent the will of the voters? Consider the issue of war and peace. Voters all across the Western world are most definitely against foreign conflicts. Nonetheless, constant war is the norm. CrossTalking with Joe Lauria and Margaret Kimberley.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Euro-foolery
Election season is upon us and it’s global: in Israel, Serbia, Brazil and now in the US. But do they actually change anything? Then there is comic relief. Like a bad sitcom that is never cancelled, the EU demonstrates its inability to come up with a geopolitical consensus on anything, thus dooming itself to irrelevance. CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda and George Szamuely.
Warfare state
Why hasn’t there been a negotiated end to the Ukraine and Iran wars? Why can’t Washington and the Europeans accept negotiations that would result in security for all? It is quite clear by now the West is not interested in peace. Subjugation is the only acceptable outcome. The result is security for none.
CrossTalking with Scott Ritter, Dimitri Lascaris, and Thomas Penn.
