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.
No plan, no peace
No plan, no peace. This is where the US-Israeli war on Iran stands. This state of affairs has profound implications for the global order. US military force has reached an important limit. Today, military might does not ensure domination, particularly when there is no coherent strategy. CrossTalking with Stanley L. Cohen and Raed Jarrar.
RT’s Peter Lavelle interviews Roger Waters: Frontman to activist
For countless people, Roger Waters is the frontman of the iconic rock band Pink Floyd – music that has become part of the fabric of our contemporary cultural life. Waters is also a high-profile human rights campaigner who advocates for the fair treatment of Palestinians. He has taken a moral position and should be an inspiration for the rest of us.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Diplomacy, maybe
The Witkoff-Kushner duo were back in Moscow. Is diplomacy on the table again? Why now? Is NATO on board? Is there anything that will save Ukraine from utter defeat? Also, Europe claims to be in the grip of Russian hybrid warfare. Are Europeans paranoid? CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda and George Szamuely.
RT’s Peter Lavelle interviews Dennis Kucinich: Evolution or breakdown?
Why is it that the US no longer has the capacity to win wars? Western publics are universally against war, but their elites are not. Who is behind these elites? Are forever wars now the norm, and not the exception?
Where’s the strategy?
If the US has a strategy when it comes to the wars on Russia and Iran, it is not obvious. Instead of pursuing an end to hostilities in Ukraine, there is talk of using tactical nuclear weapons. Instead of honoring the MoU, Washington turns to more sanctions on Iran. These are strategies to continue war. CrossTalking with Dan Kovalik, Ethan Levins, and Alexandre Guerreiro.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Advantage Iran
Iran has seized the initiative and attacks the US first, rather than reactively. Clearly Iran has the advantage. Also, while we are being told Kiev is ‘winning,’ Russia is systematically dismantling Ukraine.
CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda and George Szamuely.
