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.
Strange new world
The US-Israeli war on Iran is far from over. It is possible it may never really end. Nonetheless, the geopolitics of West Asia has experienced a fundamental shift. American military power has limits, and this has profound implications for the entire world. CrossTalking with Matthew Ehret, Ryan Milton, and Michael Rossi.
Taco, again
It would seem that Trump can’t make up his mind. Continue the war he and Israel started with Iran, or pursue renewed negotiations? The problem is the US military does not have the means to continue the conflict and Iran is unlikely to accept any proposal from Trump. Iran has all the cards. CrossTalking with Dimitri Lascaris and David Swanson.
And so it goes…
The conflict in Ukraine and the war on Iran is reshaping the global order. The West, led by the US, refuses to accept the reality of multipolarity. This is exactly what these conflicts are about – the reshuffling of the geopolitical chessboard. CrossTalking with Dmitry Babich and Aleksandar Pavic.
Out of options
The longer the US-Israel war of aggression on Iran goes on, the fewer good option are available to end it. In fact, with every passing day the war widens horizontally. While the American administration continues to claim victory, it is being forcibly pushed out of the Middle East.
Tightening noose
Can Trump bomb Iran to the peace table? Can escalation force an end to the conflict? At this point, escalation is only a tactic, not a strategy. This is why the United States and Israel continue to lose this war of choice. CrossTalking with Sulaiman Ahmed, Ali Salehian, and Bushra Shaikh.
CrossTalk Bullhorns: Ground invasion?
How many times does Trump want to lose the war on Iran? We will find out if a ground invasion is ordered – and it seems likely. Also, we are told Ukraine is winning. Then what explains the deepening internal divisions consuming the Kiev regime? CrossTalking with Mark Sleboda and George Szamuely.
