peter, when the u. s. is sending reapers. drones or other you avi's advance u a. b s. the problem is ukraine's in this cycle of dependency. so the u. s. and the west have captured them politically. they've captured them. and now economically, in the cycle of a dependency and aid comes in various forms, ok, and once you get in that cycle, you become a kind of you become colonized by the west. i mean, next thing will be if there's a significant intelligence presence or listening stations based in the ukraine, then good control over the ukraine's political bodies becomes a kind of a foreign affair. australia had fallen into that trap years ago during the cold war . that's one example. many countries actually fell into that trap during the cold war period, and they're still in that cycle all these years later. so, i mean, i see this is a kind of a colonization, a long term colonization of your credit. i agree with that kind of mental premise here, but it also can turn into a wag the dog situation as well because that dependency isn't now. now they're all in so many differe

patrick lee, the the u. s. for the by the administration is sponsoring a democracy conference on december 10th and 11th. it's all going to be virtual. i think a 110 countries have been invited. we can look at the the list. ok. there's some interesting admissions and then there's some interesting additions which one good question and it puts the entire idea of democracy into doubt in the 1st place. however, this is an interesting cudgel here. i mean, it seems to me that the washington, the washington consensus is very, very nervous. it needs to convince itself that no leading the world in terms of democracy is if that is what is driving the world or this whole narrative of democracy versus a talk or see, falls apart like a house of cards. it's laughable in the 21st century. go ahead. yeah, it's, it's, it's the sort of contracts are just endless and i, i thought that they would die off at some point in the past, but no, they're going to expand the sort of thing. and it's even more laughable. the fact that these a

it's going to be and because if the u. s. doesn't now go stand by its commitments, then it will bass. i'm just great military side the military. so i could be over very quickly, this is a political situation more than anything. and i'm sure the you credit the credit would like nothing more than to see the mix piece process realized. but a lot of interference continues to happen. constantly. every single turn by the us or by whatever leader it had installed for shank. and now they seem to have a tremendous amount of influence way over the current president zelinski. it's not about the markets. over the last couple of days. lensky has been making claims very public claims, that there is a plan who against his government. here is this is another site got here or, or is he in trouble because he's lost his majority in the parliament. many of his a close associates have turned on him. a major opposition figures based being, being held under house arrest. he's attacked independent media. he's in trouble here, but i mean, is this cre

s. dollar, because the u. s. dollar can't hold its purchasing power because it's via money and healthy money over the past 300 years has ever escaped trading to 0. mm hm. mm. with hello and welcome to cross talk. we're all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the you is in the process of finalizing what is being called the strategic compass for security and defense. this is shorthand for what may become an e u. army. this is not a new idea, and there is no guarantee it will ever come about. is europe capable of defending itself in this competitive world? ah, cross talking european security, i'm joined by my guess, michael maloof in washington. he is a former pentagon senior security policy analyst in london. we have andre walker. he has a political commentator and columnist, and in edinburgh, we cross to john white, he is a writer and political commentator. i gentlemen soc, rolls in effect, that means he can jump at any time you want. and i always appreciate, let me go to michael 1st in washington. let m

and it does like totally the firm that nato is now a seen as a u. s. i u. s. project ra, european project, but i would, i'm not a private counsel. i didn't go further than that. i would go further than that. my aunt human chase with this i think actually when you were talking about the disastrous interventions in libya, when you're talking about the disastrous intervention, you're the rock. it's a big stone to make things worse, not better, because at least nato was interested in channel. i saw european security. what is this is about european flight your flexing it's muscle. it wants to be a superpower. that doesn't bother me in particular. but the fact that the weight it will, the weight will generate its reputation as a superpower. if intervene militarily its neighbors and that could make what has been a disastrous period for foreign policy. it was, well, when you know, we have to wonder, you know, if there is a problem, many european union country are the, those people of that country get a wealth in welcome german troops without their se, i mean, that'

coming out, the u. s. continued to grapple with skyrocketing inflation and supply chain shortages. president biden has reiterated the need to the autonomy as a federal reserve. we'll discuss what is the new era for germany as the nation is that to inaugurate a new chancellor for the 1st time in nearly 2 decades will bring you the latest on the ground in berlin.

s. warships and british waters, well, b, no ross and it was at their own burial. you know, the world may go down, but they will be doing that. and the people behind it, boys, johnson or american, but just they know they're not going to be held responsible. you something that will kind of, they will blame it all russia and these 20 years. i mean, just this week we saw this new responsible staff to congressman suggested look, really nice and what is victory if you're around since 2000? thank you for so this is a disaster in the making. no, i'm not sure whether we can move or not, but these people are, they have already placed, it happens and we may lose one and then you know, so that is the same dangerous sports, you know, with russia or with anyone in the west disagree with. well, george, this is like playing in a fantasy world that doesn't exist. i mean, this is a foreign policy in the mind. ok? it's completely divorced with, from reality on the ground. i mean that the russians obviously very perturbed with those posture if any country would be, i mean, it calls i

s. 5 were killed and at least 18 children are in hospital 6 critically. ale we have from a father who witness will have 8 kids were down in the kid that i was administering . first aid to both of his feet were like grand over in lakes were broken, his full scale violet stand off over new coded restrictions across europe. while the dutch prime minister dismissed his protest as, as dissatisfied idiots on britain's health service, the n h. s at breaking point would record ways english that the government watchdog finds it was ill prepared for the pandemic and fail to act on warnings and one.

how not guilty in the u. s. teenager col rittenhouse, who's the case has divided the u. s. i made a massive media coverage is found not guilty on all charges over a shooting that killed 2 people at a racial justice protest. last year the ruling was received with emotional reaction . here with one of the most wanted who allegedly took part in january capital right. turns up in delaware where you seeking asylum as newman, as old r t that charges against him are false. it was brought to my attention that i might be on that list. and i looked, and it appeared to be me and it said a sofa, a federal officer, and i knew that i had not assaulted a federal officer because your headlines, my colleague under farmer will be here in about 15 minutes with another full and fresh look to stay with us as our international ah ah hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . there is no shortage of growing tensions in eastern europe. there is a growing e. u. bear who stands off over illegal migration. there are western reports, russia is amassing troops

the fault indirectly certainly of the e u and you have the u. s. of course the mount whitney in the black sea. so this is sort of an encircling hybrid war against russia, and it just goes to show the blinking is no better than previous secretaries of state the by the administration is asleep at the wheel. okay, well peterson, let's agree. these are all connected here and i think they are. that's why i posted here. i mean, what does washington hoped to achieve? what is brussels hoped to achieve by this? because this is really upping the spanks on the stakes on a variety of issues here. and none of them good, i mean they can be resolved, but i don't see that there's any interest in resolving them. actually just the reverse rising tension serves that purpose is go ahead peter. a peter, i'd actually like to broaden it a little bit because the other crisis that's developing is the one over taiwan. so we've got the potential for the outbreak of violence, both in ukraine and in taiwan. so they're very, very dangerous moment right now, in the aftermath of

s. domination u. s. p. u to polarity and come in as junior partners and help us solve climate crisis and other things like that. well, china and russia are not willing to play that role anymore. as a chinese foreign minister and the top foreign policy official made clear to blanket and sullivan in anchorage, you can't talk to us for a position of strength anymore. and russia is showing the same thing. and so we're, it's, that's why we're at this attention point. now we're, we're all worried that it's good to unravel with these entangling alliances. the u . s. is not officially have responsibility to come to ukraine's military defense. they're not part of nato united states as not have responsibility to come to tie one's military defense. we are position is strategic ambiguity, yet we're saying bite is making statements on both fronts, to indicate that we will. and that's even more provocative and more dangerous in earl, i mean at the end of the day it's very, very simple as a biden ministration, like the pr

is the u. s looks added to by administration . looks at it is low cost. ok, but the outcomes could be catastrophic. go ahead, daniel. you know, i've always, i've often thought about the irrationality of us one policy. and i've also often thought of it in terms of mistakes, but i really no longer think that way. i think these mistakes are all very well plans, and i think it has to do with very, very powerful vested interest in the united states that depend on continuing conflict in the rest of the world to justify massive, massive military budgets to justify the u. s. military industrial, complex, think tank, complex media complex. all of these things are built on a house of sand. they rely on conflict and for about 20 years, it was the war on terror and that sustained what i think that was more of a bridging maneuver. and now we're back into territory where they feel more comfortable cold war 2 point. oh, and this time we have a new a costar, which is china with the old bad boy, russia. so i think i'm beginning to think these things are all very well plan

i mean, with the u. s. went through this, russia gate nonsense here, and it continues here. so, i mean, we could talk about, you know, how disturbing or dangerous it is, but it is ubiquitous. and i think that i find it very, very curious because, you know, any, go to la vladimir here in mosque. i mean, it's like a one size fits all of your problems. are because of and then you point the finger . a great piece piece are great. you big, you ubiquitous, of my argument is that many respects it's quite superficial and how it lacks purchase at the societal as i to live in west point. i'm trying to bring a gun to your question about yes, i'm in rushing to the western politics on that down. there are kind of, i guess it's a, i'm joe. i touched on russia. i stay aggression and themselves on, on the defense. it will close as a classic example of that going on among the relation to that the migration across . it's not on the police search by the rooster. well, you know, the night so the west western politicians are pointing the finger at russia when it's ashley. it's not rough, his pro

u. the russians offensive industries slums the u. s. as hypocritical off the washington criticize moscow for testing a weapon in space when it's done exactly the same. well, nobody likes to pay more. on average, we have the money to do so. it's mainstream u. s. media outlets repeatedly claim that americans are better off on the joe biden, despite inflation hitting a 31 year record. citizens respond, we have the food and do things like.

and then we seem to have a repeat b u. s. administration, the by the ministration really is increased its interest and it's the same time mention within ukraine. here. what is the message they're sending because it's very confusing, or maybe that's the whole point is to be opec ok to to rate a sense of unease. but of course, that in itself creates more attention, and obviously the russians are watching very carefully about, as i will stress over and over again in this from. this is an intro ukraine problem . definitely trying to pull russia into it, your thoughts, my friend, go ahead. well, i think throughout its history, russia as a continental, our had to focus on 3 major fronts, you know, with the west east on goals. and now perhaps we'll keep an eye on china, but also in the south will the entire central asia, middle east direction. so the idea that i think has been very strong in the west, in the us in particular that rushes and chinese alignment may pose a greater challenge and rushing that act as a force multiplier

s. and, and around the world. so we have an enormous job to do in the coming years to rediscover basic principles of civilized living and, and a fair market functioning and normal freedom. so we've taken for granted for literally hundreds of, well jed, i white out geoffrey, i hope you're not holding your breath. i really hope you're not holding your breath . you know, after every great crisis and civilization, so we're, we're broke water. sh, something dramatic happens. i agree, i agree with that. i don't know. i don't know what is it worries me because it could. i think it could go either way. it is i think so that's why i keep saying there's going to be a reset. it's just not what they're expecting. just the, one of the things you know in and, you know, you and i've known each other for a while here. and, you know, everyone knows my politics. everyone knows your politics are, but you know, the thing that's missing in this conversation, this propaganda message. we get on both sides of the atlantic is you know, th

the u. s. military has declared the great 3 powers competition featuring the u. s. russia and china. how does neo liberal ideology play into this? and what does russia gate and genuine 6, i'm and com. ah, to discuss these shoes and more, i'm joined by my guess, jordan, samuel, l. e. in budapest, he's a podcast or at the gaggle which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow, we have dmitri bobbitt. she is a political analyst and editor at you know me internet media project. i generally crossed off rules and effects. that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. i mean, let's go to moscow. here. demon general miller came out with a speech that startled the establishment, but really shouldn't have is there is a new tri polar trilateral world, and it's russia, china, and the united states. and, but what i took away from it is, is that, you know, it's not really that it's kind of a bipolar or bipolar point 8 or something like that because he's assuming that these are 3 discrete powers that are in competition with each other, which

and as you pointed out, you know, the u. s. s. the stand up to be through it or to, i mean it's, and you know, it's a wonderful narrative that you can beat the masses. ok, as, as, as you know, with, with these mom bills, the biden is as putting through congress, you know, congress who actually passing and it just makes the rich richer. and it's a streaming in the middle class even more. but don't worry, we've got to fight the good fight. i mean, this isn't ridiculous. go ahead, george. yes, yes, this is an excellent point because it is a indian logical fight that the vitamin administration in particular wants to wait . because a trump really was the 1st president who had brought up the issue of a sesame when you 1st of all had the whole cold war paradigm. china's great because china is on our side against the soviet union, even though china was then in the midst of this cultural revolution. but they all great and then good guys because i went outside and that went on from quite a while because it was still. busy a grade below that

s. intelligence community and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still live with the consequences today. for years we were told that the way to stimulate the economy was to print money. and then when it became obvious that printing money was actually causing economic couple decline and bank failure. they had to come up with a narrative and that was the green narrative, the e s. g narrative, the cop annual gathering narrative. and as you're pointing out, or you're just switching chairs on the titanic, you're just going from one particular way to destroy the global economy using fee money to a different way to destroy the global economy using theat money. ah, just good russia. this class of car was discontinued more than 20 years ago. even lost a more than a sort of can just help you to proposal that sure. dealing with just important doctors. it took 5 years to close the gap on the world car industry from the drawing board to the 1st finished model scripture. so will over show the familiar tools. can you deal with my food

s. intelligence community and worldwide among allies for the next 30 years. and how the victim say they still live with the consequences today long when i went to the wrong. when i just don't hold any world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate, an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. we're empowering ourselves to be more efficient or quicker with our transactions. we can make mobile payments from our sons. the truth is that every device is a potential entry point for security attack. i think you can, but on the internet generically with anything but only eventually there's malware of that thousands, maybe sometimes millions each day. they use the cyber, they use the technology, it's an extension of traditional crime. artificial intelligence has not many main threat. this is due to the 3 laws of robotics. one of the things that's happening as a mini cyber implants. right now i'd be where is it really worried about it? most people, when equally b, you can't put a chip in my brain.

c, or said me, o s e 's, mom, why i asked the u. s. nichol, i, i think the nightmare scenario is the following. is that considering the, the rhetoric that's coming out of care of being very frustrated, not getting into the nato club is as fast as they would like. i think they just, that nato nations are just dangling that in front of them. however, he may want to press the issue and that's the nightmare scenario. but this how it, this is how it plays out. is it, there is a military conflict. russia's red lines are cross, there is a conflict. ukraine is a left in tatters. um, and maybe even potentially broken up into smaller pieces. but it, what is a loss for ukraine is also a loss for russia, because this is a way to cut russia out of the europeans architecture forever. forget at least generations here. this is one of the things that the people in washington want and what you and at the end result is ukraine is the biggest loser, and they win their policy objectives. so actually ukraine is the cannon fodder for this object objective

and the u. s. or a companies that benefit from it. so that was the case in your sins or 99. he's in the us also very much broader and it's, it's the case here once a once again, as you, as you may know, us and your new friend, me, that se last class. last, i think all this new military industrial complex in ukraine, which is going to cost a lot of money. and the u. s. as in announced even money literary projects against the main main signs of a very profitable project. and of course it is not good for us. oh you rain? yes. if you go the music agreements, let me just ask you a certain amount of money. so the currents jeans in it don't last long last. and that is that grant will know with lots in reference to getting some a so because don't ask within the crime, owes me lucky and sam's will be granted. names are just like with scott is blocking only it's scholars at times. it makes it worse in this way, so it's not good for, for the u. s. a. implement those misgivings because then they will, they wil

i mean, at the u. s. with its policy objectives at the very least will be dissatisfied to have a cold conflict that is just a headache for mosque. i mean that is acceptable to them because it's really actually at low cost. ok. so i mean they, that the, they, they have a ra, a wide array of objectives, but just keeping in a frozen conflict is, is good enough. i mean, that's what it says as a cynicism would tell me, go ahead, jeremy. so i guess it bogs the russians down, i mean it's also good for the weapons makers and it gives justification for, you know, huge military spending and another, a conflict with them. and so i think this is an intractable conflict. i mean, as he pointed out, that the people of eastern ukraine are more oriented towards russia and they're going to continue to mean they're not gonna give in. and, you know, i think the ukraine military, it's been something a quagmire for them, and then ukrainians don't want to fight their own people. that's why they've had to rely on these private m

and the u. s. has invest in something like, you know, just in a bind administration, $275000000.00 in defense in spending towards ukraine. and it's senior, the conflict seems to be re, re igniting in the, in eastern ukraine. so i think at the u. s. is heavily invest in ukraine and the project of nato expansion. and he said that, you know, the goal is to weaken russia, prevent the ro, resurgence of russian empire and to dominate that region of the world and control the resource, including the oil and gas resource of central asia. ok, well or as we already heard from nikolai, we heard from jeremy. so it's all about russia. it's not about ukraine because that's what we keep getting all over again. i mean, i find this really extreme. what, what, what about democracy? you know, what about protecting other members of the a lot? no, it's never that it's always, you know, this is a way to hinder rushes now. so security and trust, this is what this all about. go ahead, ernst. a brand list. i guess the reaso
