if you're in the us, it's dennis miller plus one. and if you're wondering us from the u. k, it's what similar hawks will harvey will be right in and i was trying to get you up to speed on the morning. global news headlines. join us again. ah, ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle, after the biden summit, european leaders such as germany's miracle and frances macro called for renew dialogue with russia. the baltic states in poland said not so fast, thus there is no consensus within the e u on how to move forward. the ball remains in brussels court in the cross talking russia e u relations. i'm joined by my guess, john laughlin in paris. he is a university lecture in history and political philosophy in nashville. we have thomas schwartz, he is a professor of political science and european studies at vanderbilt university. and here in moscow, we have dmitri slough. he's the deputy director of the center for comprehensive european and international studies at the higher school of economics. i totally cross talk roles and eff

it's time to get you up to speed on the global use headline. join us again. ah ah ah. hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things considered. i'm peter lavelle. last me and appears to be near washington's 20 year effort to nation building. anason was always going to end this way, a complete and total failure. it is doubtful. the corrupt government and capital will last long after the american withdrawal of dennis and remains broken and the american people poor and no one is to account the cross walking up canister. and i'm joined by my guess. marvin wine bar, we have scott read and he's the director of afghanistan and pakistan studies at the middle east institute in del mar. we have scott ritter. he is a former intelligence officer and the united nations weapons inspector. and in kabul, we have, we're stocked with him, he is a conflict, peace and security expert, or tell me cross our rules and effects. that means it can jump in anytime you want . and i always appreciate when you go to scott, 1st, many of us watching this conflict for 2 decades expected this outco

s. us national security court. but the main thing, the main part about all of this is in a democratic system. it does matter what happens outside the court. room in terms of the public conversation and the press would normally lead that the press would elevate the issue. people would rally around that. again, due process, rule of law. all of that, it's been wiped away. that says little more about the state of democracy. in the democratic world, it's leading the rules based international order and in the rules based international order. he has the gold makes the rules or he has the most money makes the rules. but it's funny that when anthony blink and tried to pull the rules based card with china at that summit, alaska, china reminded anthony blinking, who has the gold, apparently, because they didn't show any respect to the u. s. is shenanigans summit. but so it is very worrying because this is, that is a sunset moment for, for democracy and the assigned case, it's just is a touchstone of, of that process here. wha

go ahead and no, i agree, and the us withdrawal us very quickly. there's a vacuum left behind. it is obviously the challenges for neighbors because they're not going anywhere. and obviously as you mentioned, direct is all of this, this, this could very easily be stabilized ventilation in the military and i'm more instability. so i think i have not gotten government to read explaining to projects . and again, the possibility of having this renewal of the civil war of the 90 s could be quite problematic something and obviously most goes quite concerned about it. but again, there's also some opportunities i would say because the u. s. strategy and it's all the centralization was too large, extensive the central nation region from countries like russia and china. so this was with economic projects that everything was geared to in this direction. now and this was consistent with the u. s. u. k. history of your asia, which has been brought to divide by the major powers. so the news coming out from china and russian, but even iran to smaller extent is the failure of the us natal condi

there's nothing in the mainstream in the us about this. so i mean, this is, this is, this is a huge conspiracy of silence when the crime being committed in broad daylight. all this was recognized in early nineties that a paradox of having essentially a liberal empire that it will start to tear away at the domestic system. and again, this before comes an interesting or unique form of arthur in isms as greg to point out to demonstrates how the rules, laws being corrupted. so in a society based on the rule of law, the focus is on the integrity of the process and not the outcome, even though the outcome of august would have been decided. but what we see here is that the decisions have been made to destroy us on which lake males have demonstrated that the legal process is to take them. the weapon that if they don't even need really a conviction, old need is to drive on the court proceedings for eternity, and therefore just keeping in prison. and again, it's important for us to walk back because it's eating away principles and credibility of the

so many good people are helping us. it makes it feel very proud that we need together in she was simply real thing a little slow, letting them go by susan. well, the longer i was going to go and see me when you have a sweet quote. if you have a meeting in the room, initial pathetic female spelled on the one, let me know which one was gonna fill in. 2 for me to meet with you soon as you move in to when you finish the initial typically we can complete illusion initially. script on a normal financial young hoody elysium, you least could put it in. you could shoot it to the lower. ah, the ah, we will not allow the opponents of the revolution. mercenaries were sold out to the u. s. government to provoke destabilization. cuba accuses washington of inciting mass demonstrations across the country. thousands have taken to the streets and protests at an economic crisis. and what they are calling the government. poor handling of the coven pandemic. reviving the spirit of neo nazi segregation in europe. russia takes a shot at franc

and i keep using like a word here it's, it's a grid. i mean, this is really why a lot of pockets for people are all very long time and, and saying that is something that's been worried, but maybe have martin millen that had to be joined to stop. i mean, you basically crying and run a president biden, you know, what about children and women, you know, and all that. i mean, here's, here's a guy who's supposed to be in charge of the national security being said new, worried about the nation building. and i don't know if he's worried about his buddies making a whole lot of money like they have for decades. glenn, one of the things that is very interesting is that go back to your 1st stanza here . this is the real opportunity for russia and china, and then again player such as pakistan is pointed out here. but i mean if, if there is a, if there is a solid consent of these large powers outside about san i think that gives reason. the hope here because they all see the back of the matter is the us it respected, but we have that get if that doe

look at the us military. i mean, you know, the war in afghanistan apparently is coming to an end, but there is no post mortem of why we had to stay there for 20 years. and why are we still in iraq? why are we in syria? there's no compensation in the, in the mass media, there is a 0 conversation about that, but these are obvious questions to ask if you want to get you, we, they want money for a month and then they want to curtail our freedoms. ok. and it, this is a spiral downward, go ahead. daniel will depends on how you define the term failure, because i would suggest it's certainly in the case of the capitol hill police, there were some great successes. there is video that exists of them opening the doors for the protesters to come in and share your view, peter, that people the damage things should be brought to heal for damaging things and for hurting people. nevertheless, there's plenty of evidence that they did open the door for some protesters. the capitol hill police are the perfect stars, the organiza

busy to stand up in the face of us imperialism. you know, mike, i want to know back to, you know, last november, western union cut the remittances, that cuban americans could send to their families. i mean, that that's part of the embargo. and in any one that says, and i know the current administration tend saki or it was ned price, you know, saying we know, we see no evidence that the embargo is impacted the lives of cubans. i'm paraphrasing there, that is utterly not to utter nonsense. and everybody knows that western union cut cut off the remittances, which western, by the way, it's pretty expensive duration to send money. you know, how can that not be just an attack on average cuban families? i mean, i find it is unconscionable that the, the trump administration force that through well, it depends on what happens to the remittances when they arrived. and that's not off the other certain that the people got all the money. but let's assume for a minute you're right, and the people who were sent to actually got money at the same t

it's their only trading with us. we don't stop them from trading with anyone else. we never have really. and the europeans have no trouble trading there. it's a socialist government, it's a socialist economy. and so it's a how a terry and government. and it's not functioning properly simply because it is a dictatorship. and it's a word. we can't pussyfoot around. we got, we got to call it what it is and the people are swimming away from cuba, not because they don't have electricity is certainly their economic poverty as part of it. they're swimming away from it to tell terry and government from an oppressive government. and if it were near merely neo colonialism, they wouldn't swim back to the mother country from its colonial roots. they would swim elsewhere. so i am, and we, there is something we have to do with cuba and i'm, i'm where you are, peter. i don't know what that is and continuing the embargo, i think is ineffective. i agree with you, but i don't know that trading with them is going to get where we want to be other than legitimizing. and so tell a tarion

it's time for us view the world according to jesse about can offer. now with the latest join us again that ah, join me every thursday. i'm alex simon short. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the news with ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . cubans experience demonstrations for and against her by the government. many in the us loudly say something must be done. what that something is, is not entirely clear. the fact is, the u. s. has done many things against cuba for decades. namely the long standing trade embargo, maybe washington should stop trying to help the cuban people for a change. the cross talk in cuba, i'm joined by my guess, michael flannigan in washington. he is president atlantic and consulting in a former congressman in new york. we have daniel shaw. he is professor of latin american and caribbean studies at the city university of new york. are i telling cross type rules and that means you can jump in anytime

they've always looked for engagement with us institutions. and with the u. s. people, it's not the humans that have one more day in the middle of florida or in the middle of new york state. so this is a one way street of hypocrisy of imperialism. but the cubans who says they want to engage with the u. s. government. the future of cuba self determination will continue to be fought for and install it already with the revolutions in managua, in our possible libya, we see the big shifts in beer do, of course, caracas, venezuela. so that's the future. one of latin american in caribbean integration in unity who needs the old imperialist power. the us empire is in decline and that's why you have this new cold war on china. quite the opposite of what michael has said. it's unfair to the ideological hatred for china is a trade war against china. we never hear one positive word in this true dictatorship of the media here in the u. s. we've never heard one positive word about china, cuba or any other country that dares to stand up in the face of us imperialism. you know,

he told us that andrew was competent short term. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else had to be happening rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing. we dare to ask me. ah, what the magic cross topler all things considered? i am peter le bell. this is the home addition to remind you. we're discussing some real names. the go back to georgia in budapest. well, anglo merkel. georgia is finally finally leaving the political stage. you know, i have to admit, i had a lot more hope for her in the beginning, mostly for the reason that she comes from eastern germany and i now you play in retrospect, i'll be honest with you that, that you be more of the bridge, a beach for between east and west and i was been proven disastrously wrong. ok. she's been in power a long time and i think she leaves with a pretty scanty legacy about a negative one. go ahead. george. very scanty legacy. i

i mean that the nation build us in washington. maybe they don't. they don't want to have good results. but look, look at the fruit. ok. bushnell is now even worse than indeed in the times, or what kind of florida i'm in the privatization where they do faster. you can only leaves off the area. you know, ukraine in the 1st year after my don, it's g d b. i mean big school crania and don't boss, but the g d. b, all the areas which remained ukrainian and this is 97 percent of the ukrainian territory. the g d p fell almost 10 percent because ukraine cob all was almost always economic to russia. it left their free trade zone with russia embrace the european union. european union did not allow them to do its markets. so it's a tragedy yet, but also you politically. i think joe, politically, it's a lose lose situation for everyone. in the national interest. you don't need a petrol, wrote an article, had learned how to break the coach or read walk and ukraine, and nikolai petro rights, and that basically it rushes great shift eastward as he calls. and i mean

it was also directed to russians within the us, auburn ukraine right now. and also i think it's george is mentioned here is a signal to the west that ukraine as very special significance, the russians national security and certain things will not be tolerated. go ahead or i think it was primarily written for the people of your brain at lunch. not only irrational, but also radiance will also suffer because of this terrible situation. i don't think, would you expect that any kind of reception, any kind of constraint is reception from? do you bring a government? he actually said right before i can call that ukrainian people are not hostile to russia, ukrainian leadership. now unfortunately, it's foster russia and they're very responsible, 18 years or president landscape to this article shows that which was not from, you know, just you just said i will read it might have time. and he, he drew something about, you know, russians and ukrainians, being brothers, he drove about car and an apple and he said, no, i see mr. fortune is the wasting his time on. instead

therefore these days trading is very intensive. won't cut us off. i know the key to a good flight is sleep, food, and rest. it's necessary to sleep, at least a 1000000 hours. you need to be hungry. they say the key to successful performance is facing yourself, your teammates and the accuracy of the calculations. therefore, before each flight, all the formations are practiced on the ground level. flight program always starts with round training. this is particularly important for groups like because the planes are very close in the air next to each other. according to the pilots, the monks, aerospace alone and the perfect platform to meet every 2 years, communicate and show you. as well as to show what they have learned and upload bet humans of others. you lash oliver. oh see yeah, fun week ahead mux 2021 and i for a deeper dive into any of this. our stories are t dot com is a good starting point. fresh content live. the discussion is always just a click away. i'm you know, a little catch you again soon. oh the, the me. the news. ah ah, ah. hello and

and actually europe into just a slave us of all of the united states. i guess, i think that will be her legacy or a german, that's all the time we have. want to take my guess here in moscow and in budapest, one i think our viewers for watching is here to see you next time. remember across the the a. ready ready launch crunch l i class and i tried to push me off. the song said it was just the culture blue book to leave you for one for the the because it's always more you to meet the he's going to repeat usually through which and it's gone. yeah. cuz really new bushel was the moment that she is not a monumental charged rock on top driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me i think we dare to ask me ah, me, eastern half of the united states. we're going to have billions, if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their back yard. i obviously, some of the cicadas do not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out for long or 6 minutes more 100 the i mean that's very satisfying.

she had been with, you know, by them is the lead or the free will use. i don't just go, it was just dismissed. the people, even though it was stuff that you're, i would contest would be my head to say, you know, this can kind of a purity here. i think just complete mediocrity all over the place. modeling through and missed opportunities left and right and create and change to the political landscape of germany while when demons. absolutely right. we have people contesting this ideology and the the establishment. and that's all because of merkel over the last 30 seconds. got a huge or yeah, there's always been an opportunity for your 2000 independent role between the united states and russia. and you know, there have been people like my role on occasion because i'll take it later that you know, the role of a, to quote, anything like that and actually europe into just a slave us of all of the united states. okay. i guess i think that will be her legacy or a gym and that's all the time we have. want to take my guess here in moscow and in budapest, one i thi

the systems no longer serve us, they actually control us. is there a way out from this growing dystopian? in the cross talking tech control, i'm joined by my guess, zach war. he's in san francisco. he's a google whistleblower, a tech entrepreneur and co author of the book. google leaks and whistleblowers ex was a, a big tech censorship and in phoenix across to ryan hardwig. he is a free speech advocate. facebook whistleblower, and co author of the book behind the mask of facebook. current settlement cross talk rules and effects. that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i would appreciate your both whistleblowers from some of the most tyrannical organizations that have ever existed on this planet. i feel very strongly about that. so i can ryan, i'd like you to give it a thumbnail sketch. of your whistle blower experience at these tech corporations you per 2nd san francisco. well, google was a really great company all the way up until 2016 when donald trump, when the election. and then they decided that they were going to go to a hard

hurry done to testify in a us court.

they're the 1st words that people use. and that's what i find very frustrating if i disagree with something, why should i be called a racist when it has nothing to do with race? but it always seems to run in that direction here. that is very, very dangerous. and i think of myself as a, as a good faith actor, i talked to people all across the spectrum and i do it respectfully. and i disagree with back group with respect. and that is something, you know, what happened to respect in public discourse. that's a, that's the dangerous place we are at now. go headlines. you know, i have always been fascinated by crowds in schools, in murmur ration of burge and gustavo, la. bon. and how we, how we all were not individual. we were in a group. what fascinates me because i think there's some text, this is a collective psychology. is how fast and how ferocious and how angry and how determine ordinary otherwise passions citizens can be come when you tell them to do something. it's fascinating. look how all of a sudden people just starte

join us again that i the i hello and welcome to stop there. all things considered peter real about russian president vladimir putin has penned a long article on russia and ukraine. needless to say, it is evoked a lot of responses. we tell you why this article is important. also so long angle of merkel. germany's long serving chancellor. what will be her lasting legacy? ah, the to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, jordan semi raleigh in budapest. he's a podcast or the guy which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow were joined by dmitri bob, which is a political adolescent editor. if you know me, internet media project or gentleman cross talk roles and effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. okay, let's go to george in budapest, while george russia always seems to be in the news one way or another. but it's an, it isn't a very different way this time. vladimir putin, the russian president pen to very, very long article. a very studied article i would say about the relat

so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are together in the moon the welcome back to cross truck where all things are considered. i'm peter le beltran, and you were discussing the culture wars. ah, ah, okay, let's go back to jeff. jeff, how much is the, the mere existence of donald trump in our public space? motivate this, these divisions and divisions that are getting greater and greater because there is obviously talk that he may run again. and it seems to me because of the 1st 6 months of the, of the biding ministration media is just dropped off the cliff. i mean, their ratings of just, i mean it's devastating. ok. and then i don't know if you've noticed, but the last few days these kits and tell books about the, the last days and death agony of the, of the trump administration. that's all they're talking about right now. they need to talk about this, this turns it up here. and it really, hans, them here because the prospect of trump getting back into a public life that seems to give t

he told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else to be happening the, the, the, the ah, worse than flooding in china in $1000.00 views, it's called deaths wiped out transport infrastructure breach townsend spots. a huge blast and aluminium plant situation said to be to be writing the rolling come to thing, reaches by phone. friends, presidents, ammonia mcdonald, is a series of investigations. as to reports emerge, he and the senior team were potentially new, buys railey develop spyware, and also ahead nobody suggested not a way.

i thank you for joining us here for the program on this wednesday evening. live from moscow half past 10 in the evening. we're back soon with oh, the i me the hello and welcome to cross. were all things considered? i'm peter lavelle, president joe biden invoke civil war parallels with greater frequency. this is ominous and dangerous. unfortunately, it would seem, this is how the major political parties and the media view, the state of our politics in a war. there are casualties and defeats in the culture. wars can one side vanquish the other, the cross fucking the culture wars. i'm joined by my guess, lionel in new york. he's illegal in media analysts in auburn. we have jeff dice. he is a president, means as institute and in las vegas, we cross the craig jar duleigh. he is the co host and co creator of the independent media show the convo couch or a gentleman, cross cycles and effects. that means you can jump in anytime you want, and i always appreciate line. and let me go to you 1st year i'm titling this program called the civil war. and the reason is, as i

ok, and i use show purposely here and is we're going into this here. it seems to me that as i said in my introduction, the truth seems to be quite secondary because it looks like both sides want to claim a cover up being done by the other side here. i mean, is this exercise worth? it's while, unless you just want to in, in plain passions, go ahead in milwaukee. it's really not worth while. it's not, not this. why not because it's become such a part of the show. you know, i think i think some of the republicans, jim jordan included, even kevin mccarthy want to get to the true. they talked about wanting to truly understand what happened. why it was that more security was not added. why the charity was turned down by the mayor. you know what, what the democratic leaders know what the time did they know of any other security threats. and so these are, these are questions. but if you truly believe that this was horrible, violent in direction and want answers, you'd want answers to all of these questions and want to get to the bottom of it to make sure that

so me, good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in join is raising prices up. they're the ones who are dictating prices. so we're creating a monster here. we created a brick and monster. we've got china, economy zooming. they can raise prices at will. and no matter how high china raise prices for americans to buy their good biden's going to print more money to send to china. this is the worst is dopey in chinese fingered trap that ever been invented . the welcome back to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter labelle. remind you we're discussing january 6th in before we continue, our e, our 3rd guest of the program has left. he had a very big problem with my questions and ended it personally insulting me. so i found no other reason to have him continue on. the program already has the right to his opinion and he'll continue to express them. and i respect that. i wish he would have respected other people's opinion. debbie, let me go back to you and let's get back to the

the so join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah, in, in the war on drugs started as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else to be happening. the news years ago. very rude. previous emergency, food is 10. 15 right now. the children, the offspring of the cicadas, are crawling on me. there are more than 3000 species, periodical cicadas worldwide. they're found on every continent. 1 except in article, but it's only here in the eastern half the united states that we have 17 and 13 year periodical k. that's part of what makes this so special is this particular breed which we call breed 10 or brewed act, which makes it ever muc

he told us that andrew was competing short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening with the coverage restrictions and mandatory policies, bug furious rallies for freedom across the world. for medics argue that where one person liberty begins another ends, you have to balance personal choice with what's good for the most people at the end of the day. life is a balance of risk that you can't wrap people up in costs, and what else are the us won't be investigating. new york state handling of cobit 19 and nursing homes despite is ations of deliberately under.

the use the word side again, go ahead. the ma, where you're quite cried. i think george was quite trying to cite the examples of poland and hungary as country is, which just didn't fit the morally, the idea, logical monolith or the west. and it was interesting that president, do know, full and rosa for because he's southern said just a few days ago that i would you go constrains you post by the european union. i in fact, i want your constraints that were imposed by the soviet union and the other where an example is a gas done. i mean that the idea that you should educate goals before boys, you know, it just didn't go down and stuff and he couldn't. but there is no so, so, i mean, 20 years the longest, warren american history americans are leaving, they're going to some, and i don't hear a war the self criticism. what did we do or all, it's all about the table are guns. you know, they're uneducated. you know, they are unable to so it's the same story. again, i told you said the board 0 sum game and all the sites is very important because, you know, we are t

see all the different systems use certain frame. yes. so the weaknesses of the nation is that the control, the not is used germans pension for collectivism and for collective sacrifice, sometimes in the same way you know, the make just using these thank demand in america, america is a nation of immigrants and people in america. you know, melville describe the way well, and you won't be come and liberate the world, destroyed the tyrants, you know, destroy this table way, which is a symbol of evil, right? so the authority gets in the united states are using it very clearly. and it's very interesting article, george b hold, jeff k, you know, kennedy, i'm like, wilson was called on making the world safe for democracy. can you just said make the world say for diversity? and that's very, that's a very important distinction. you know? and i think at the moment in the early stages, we were very close doing you agreement between the soviet union and the united states. that would save a lot of lives and a lot of effort in georgia. canon wrote abou
