Hello and welcome to cross talk or all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle on this edition of 3 questions sent to us by you the viewers we received quite a few questions here we do our best to answer some of them. Cross talking fan mail im joined by my guest robert bridge hes an arty website writer we also have dimitri he is a political analyst and editor at interest me internet media project and in london we cross to Marcus Papadopoulos hes the editor of politics 1st magazine or a gentleman crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate we got a lot of questions sent to us were not going. Be able to answer them all but ill get the worst one out of the way and go to marcus 1st of this year ok we have a question from adrian holeman question pretty obvious will donald trump be eventually removed from office go ahead as we go into the new year the impeachment saga continues go ahead marcus. Personally i find it very difficult to believe its about donald trump will be removed from office i think that republicans are very unlikely so for his impeachment its more likely if anything donald trump could resign well none the less i think thats a little trying to go into the twentys when see as president s i think he finds the november 20th once the president ial election and i believe. A little late in the american. Dream him down on him will fail you know you get to ok i think thats a given here and its going to be in peril as he interesting question more up your alley here is mccrone the french president realigning with your regime interesting question well i dont think so i think we shouldnt be reading too much into he is statement about the brain death of need told so dont take the french president seriously dont take. Race seriously because it was obvious that decided to bully the liberal game you know everyone is allowed to insult trump so he decided to insult him too and he went a little too much. Too far in his criticism because we saw anglo merkel poll america sadly issue mediately pull him back to bite he is sleeves of atheist caller yeah and. Basically their message share from america and from the e. U. Was that. You know at that this man blood on the deck the institution we need the institution so that we can basically wage a few more wars band if we analyze micro statements a lot of them are basically pretty aggressive against russia i mean his suggestion to have a new European Army united European Army he 1st said about the russian danger and then the. Then if you mention chair in line with what you think i thought you think this is more of a kind of and napoleonic urge on his part here i dont sound very serious but lets remember europe in. Recent history there were 2 times when you were proud a unified single army and porno and the heat let borstar a step by me at back to russia and they didnt like the anglosaxon by the just like russia so save this leads to go to another question here i want to answer robert here we have. Does russia see itself turning communism by deepening its relations with china i ask you that question. Very good reason is because there is this perception peddled by the Mainstream Media that nothing ever really changes in russia and of course things have i mean you and i have lived here for a very long time and we have our russian friends as a sharper to help us and we are. Right but just because russia has a growing relationship with china doesnt mean its ideological good i think thats kind of like the same as saying that the United States is turning communist because were doing business with its well look at the president ial candidates ok. They are reinforcing that idea i mean actually get up and say in front of the congress we will never become a socialist country because there is that tendency from the progressive far left were heading in that direction slowly but thats a different story i would like to just throw in there i dont think people in the United States when they talk about socialism have any idea what theyre talking about this is this a label that has been thrown around you know it took you know its been but its been thrown around in american politics its something taboo when we get down to it some of the things that proposals and people would agree with that so but thats socialism so you know what you do is you give it a marketing they call a halo but so i really hate that conversation about communists i mean lets quickly move on to another quote. Because i really appreciate both of you are sending in their men linda warren asking i think this is a very interesting question this is for marcus in london has the e. U. Deserted christianity and traditional family values and if so why go ahead marcus. Not officially but of course the European Union in britain america i mean dates most of the worlds has now adopts its a cool cap so this idea of ideology and corporate capitalism and in my own castes it isnt say loss the soul as a nation cabinets makes people dots it serious and it makes people put serialism over spiritualists on so its not that the us doing anything different so what is better off or it isnt or indeed australia that is the nature of corporates caps it is and i think its very sad i think its very dangerous i think the fabric of society in the west coming in has been it was a Corporate Tax system and it is therefore refreshing to see that more d and more people are looking to sell its ideology its you know stay with lindas quite only towards question here robert because i think it is really important in an ill give my own humble opinion here which of course its my program so im going to do it but there is a considered attack on family values and the family itself and i think this is something thats tearing the fabric of society apart in the west and i was i know the west the best and this is the foundation of western civilization in the modern times and theres a concerted attack on it and i dont see anything good coming from it because you know why because no ones happy everyone ends up being miserable as a result robert yeah i think it has a lot to do with mo number one materialism and number 2 this influx of maybe some people would disagree with me but the influx of Illegal Migrants into europe. That i think has had an incredible effect on the families the Family Structure i mean theyre kicking people out of their apartments so that Illegal Migrants can can live there theyre theyre cutting back on strip ins for families so that they can give more people more money to illegal these Illegal Migrants so i know that you know you have these christmas festivities that are happening in town and town squares and these have been going on for hundreds of years without any problem and now you have you know they have to set up antiterrorist bunkers around these Little Christmas bazaars where people you know once celebrated for generations without any question. I think theyre Transnational Companies multinationals are involved here because they need a new man just you know like not to stalk about a new man. But dont they want to displace the current exact demographic to replace it where you have more lie and quote unquote voters yes ill get all the name of democracy i deal walk of for a multinational is a human transform someone without a family who you can send to africa to day to china to moral he or she feels absolutely the same way or if they want to have children its a. Bad idea you know youre going to have children we can freeze yours sell some then give you a child without a husband when you all 40 so its easier for us then to have it things happening unpredictably but this is a gainst human nature and. You know this idea that every human should close totally change itself you know. This is the reason why there is so much talk about transgenders i have nothing against homosexuals people have been very just they were born that way but this is their idea of multinationals change yourself to yourself every day this way you will leave for 300 or 400 years transhumanism these are all dangerous ideas because in their hand one. Getting humans to a gate and some kind of new specious and break out of it ok im going to go back to the markets another question from one of our viewers come out commit go see them he ask is saudi arabia really changing or is it purely for a show with then a lot of programs on saudi arabia. Primarily because of the anti western campaign against iran and the genocidal war being waged against yemen what about saudi arabia go ahead marcus. Saudi arabia is an autocratic states and its official creed wahhabism is not just weak its not just deprived it is obscene therefore based on those 2 realities it is impossible for saudi arabia supports its no different to saying for example christianity per se capitalism per se communism i say uh not evil but evil deeds have been done in the name all capitalism christianity and communism but what does that or you need to do is read about the principles the tenets of what happens and you will see that this is and evil ideology and we have an equal ideology in place in our country entrenched in palate but it is simply a market threat marcus you never hear that in the Mainstream Media saudi arabia is a valued ally in the middle east like israel they put them there on par ok i mean but what does that say about the consciousness of public the political elites in the west. They dont know that politicians in britain and america and journalists in britain and america whether they are liberal or conservative have the no moral compunction with a lawyer themselves with any governments with any organization with any group cruel to find its true of that country that group that organization so holds american and british geo strategic objectives and saudi arabia yes these are very important friends not a lot so america and britain but its the most potent its country in the roads ok if i can interject here before we go to the break but its russias fault and chinas fault that assad is still in love and pali enemy of damascus you know jack just one thought. Without western support and without the nishida from the west was in yemen and in syria would not have begun it was not saudi arabia that started that it was the west that kind of pushed salad day and other states into doing this ok were going to jump in here were going to go to a short break and after that short break well continue our program d on cross talk fanmail stay with r.

Welcome back to crossfire where all Things Considered im Peter Lavelle remind you were discussing some questions we received from our viewers. Ok the next question from one of our viewers the Donovan Mccormick in this is right up your alley demon something you talk about almost every Single Program and actually Marcus Papadopoulos talks about it a lot here so a little lengthy but im going to go through it what do you think the future of nato looks like with its apparent mission pivot and all of its agreements between the United States and other members pretty specially the turks do you believe the turks will make good on their threat to remove u. S. Military airbase home of u. S. Warheads and let another nato army take the base. Well the problem with liberal ideology is that it makes people quarrel you know its just amazing how they accuse russians of soli discord in the United States between blacks and wives between you know all of us and i know that all the whatever has see if their liberal media did not do it itself you miles a day more all the time so the same story with a need to always see a real inability to resolve conflicts because we see an inability of compromise. Unfortunately there was there was totally inability of for compromise also in the turkish case just a few years ago in 2012 nato was saying we need to protect turkey from syrian aggression im quoting the new york times. Which was absurd because syria was suffering from a civil war itself. From the outside yeah but also at turkish fighter jet was downed by Syrian Defense because the. A fighter jet breached the syrian airspace and it was viewed as a cause big leaguer know the people in france in london were talking about the need to protect you know this year i just couldnt believe my ears say couldnt believe my eyes turkey is a take in syria its the terrorist of our elyse so suddenly the narrative to complete the then different director of course in this situation you have called for its and of course you have conflicts between turkey and european allies to weaken the United States and our unless they change their ideology there will be a collapse of nato if you have as you have nato in its in its. Reasons to exist which is to exist thats its mission it has to exist but you have turkey its really turning to a kind of neo autumn in islam here but more let me let me go to markets in london once that 2nd compatible here because we just recently had the nato summit and of course western media just you know smooth all the edges and all the crevices everythings a Big Happy Family and its going to protect the west from all these evil outside forces which of course dont really exist and then you have this turkish behavior erda one doing every i mean basically spitting in everybodys eye but no everythings all nice and fine with the D North Atlantic Treaty Organisation i mean media again is shameful in its coverage of this go ahead marcus. Peter theres a lot of naivety and marks comments made since in the west and also in russia regard in turkey no turkish later do anything so we can turkeys strategic relationship with the west with america with britain and with nato it would be a National Suicide for turkey to do anything that could cause it so late the wests all of it turkey is in cyprus illegally because of the blank check it to see some america turkey is in syria illegally because the black check it sees america turkey goes in syria iraq illegally because of the blank check if the say now we have and now we have and now we have a libya coming up yes whats what were up against says impossibly pates is very different what he says in crimea in public he has to come across as this strong leader hes telling the turkish people no one will tell me what to do in private circles he same fans very different to the americans if another candidate wants to make good on his pledge that turkey is independent and would do as it pleases then leave nato tell the americans to pack up their military bases and tell the americans to look weve joined then you can a warrant but of course hes not going to do that the turkish state is unbelievably circumvent the other way youre sleeping with where youre saying our case is that the the the western alliance needs turkey more than turkey needs the western alliance is that what youre saying thats the kind of leverage they have. Its turkey survivals insert hes power at it exerts today in Eastern Mediterranean and in the middle east that is based on its relationship with the west but also the west against massively through its influence in circles for its strategic relationship which certainly is a time to spy on russia from the black sea its a cement its hold over the middle east and in the Eastern Mediterranean so so key is firmly entrenched in the west so its only a guess and theres one there are so entrenched they can be extremely mysterious and thats exactly what were seeing from and on lets go on the ask have another question here jonathan as the u. S. China deal would suggest a compromise is possible but there is a cost is that its a question is there a cost the chinese sovereignty robert because what you see now is that you know what weve seen i think 2019 in many ways was a year of sanctions sanctioning friends and foes here we had in the middle of the 2019 a tentative trade deal and the chinese were backed away from it because it was in printing upon their sovereignty did we say you see this new phase one that theyre all talking about being able to take the heat out of this trade socalled trade war and the trump benefit from this go ahead. Theres so much to benefit from the good relations with with china and with china remaining solver and i dont see i dont see china ever agreeing to give up any sort of any sort of its own sovereignty in order to have a deal with the United States have to keep in mind too that the chinese economy just unbelievably powerful theyre like. They have 400000000 people in the middle class ok 2nd 2nd amount wealthy people super rich people all the dark sort of billionaires im sorry billionaires in the world so this is a part of the world that trump there is no way they could sacrifice their. You know their needs more. Bad for boys and then donate that state laws why is that ok what is the command seem to be simply because. They are not straight jacketed by this new battle ideology and because chinese a powerful nation you know with a huge potential i think no one dollars that but the point is that the pressure from trump was still shameless it pulled even a bomb on him because well look the pressure on china they did not start with trump you know when a bomber suggested Transpacific Partnership t p p without russia and china which was intentional it was intentional and it was of course theyve changed but the chaneys knowing that they are so able to compete theyre almost bending back whats known to insult the United States not to step on their interest so it was definitely not china who started the trade war it was the west it worked is that you reflect upon that because i think thats going to be one of the very big story of course we have in speech and we have the u. S. President ial election coming up but so much else is happening in the world and in so many media time is given to it but it china will continue to be demonized if the u. S. Doesnt perceive it as a victory i mean this is the problem that i see is that the u. S. Has a very high. Time compromising and they never believe that as a compromise with a power that is perceived as weaker but china is a different case its very very different and depending on who you want to ask its either they have parity in economic strength and g. D. P. Or its more or less the same and china will continue to accelerate but maybe the slower pace but this story is not going to go away and i just have to wonder given the the track record of quite a good compromise or deploy diplomacy here the u. S. Is going to be running into a very big brick wall because as robert pointed out i dont see them compromising their sovereignty go ahead marcus. China will never compromise itself and save it through its tailings for america for its failings with russia in due to its statements with any country in the world but the chinese leadership are a cheat me aware that its economic progress in the last 40 years and since then check in which is mean nothing short of a miracle has been based overwhelmingly when its trade and investment relationship with america so the chinese leadership really needs to start suit diversifying its economy in terms of who its trading with in the world it needs to it needs to move away from its overwhelming dependence on america and there in lies chinas economic achilles heel and the americans know that its the americans of course if there was a major disruption in the economic relationship between washington and beijing of course washington of course america would suffer immensely but peeta china would suffer far more because of it because its relationship is sensor overwhelmingly on its trade and investment relationship with america so that is where the problem lies to china not chinese solvency but its economic progress and its economic progress in well future of us yeah but i would i would put markers i think a big issue with that when we have this belton Road Initiative which is incumbency in the majority of the countries of the world right now i think that the it is stressing the chinese american relationship is over done because i think the chinese see so many more opportunities and people that want to come to the table they do want the investment of china and infrastructure i mean if you the greatest juxtaposition of course of the u. S. Sends troops all over the world the chinese said build bridges and port them back to raise that is that that is a competitive advantage. And in the long term and the chinese know it and i think the americans who are very slow to wake up wake up to the markets ill give you the last 30 seconds of seconds on the program go ahead. Well i just turn into 20 twentieths there will be continuation of russian progress in the local chinese progress in the world and i do hope that countries such as keep up and scientists later and syria are independent sovereign countries and anyone in the well who sincerely is committed its a global peace and global stability should rejoice for countries such as russia and china because no buckshot and no china in the world that america truly its the global lost and that will mean more wars i dont more abject pain and suffering katie marcus ends this program in a very pessimistic nominate a very realistic one here many thanks to my guests here in moscow and in london and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r. T. C. You next time remember crossplatform us. In a world of big partisan movie mob and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart or we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. Thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the countrys military a decision that has shattered lives every. I complete. The day that i was right to be instructed you know told to shut up they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in the gram my arm and he raped me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing tat happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our and violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether thats a man or woman. Theres a lot of areas in the economy where china has caught up or surpassed us you know the mobile Payments Market 50 times the size of the us or over here still writing checks our Banking System is not innovated 5 g. Weve kind of recently woken up the last couple years and while we dont even have a company that can make 5 years its been a win win for china and its been a lose lose for the u. S. U. S.
