quite a few questions here we do our best to answer some of them. cross talking fan mail i'm joined by my guest robert bridge he's in our t. website writer we also have dimitri bobbitt she is a political analyst and editor at interest me internet media project and in london we cross america's papadopoulos he's the editor of politics 1st magazine or a gentleman cross-talk 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 we're not going to be able to answer them all but i'll 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 when as we go into the new year the impeachment saga continues go ahead marcus. personally i find it very difficult to believe it's about donald trump will be removed from office i think that

republicans are very unlikely so for his impeachment it's more likely if anything donald trump could resign well none the less i think that's a little trying to go into the twenty's when see as presidents i think he finds the nov 27th the presidential 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 that's a given here and it's going to be an paras he interesting question more up your alley here is mccrone the french president realigning with your regime interesting question well i don't think so i think we shouldn't be reading too much into he is statement about the brain death of need toll so don't take the french president serious and don't 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 with our anglo merkel poll americans actually issue mediately pull him back by he has sleeves of atheist caller yeah and. basically their message share from 'd 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 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. there and if you mention chair in mind don't you think that's what you think this is more of a kind of napoleonic urge on his part here i don't sound very serious but let's

remember europe in. recent history there were 2 tyrants when you were a unified single army and porno and the heat let borstar a step by me at back to russia and they didn't like the anglo-saxon by the. sea so save this leads you to go to another question here i want to ask 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 doesn't mean its ideological good i think that's kind of like the same as saying that the united states is turning communist because

we're doing business with its well look at the presidential 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 we're heading in that direction slowly but that's a different story i would like to just throw in there i don't think people in the united states when they talk about socialism have any idea what they're talking about this is this a label that has been thrown around you know it took you know it's been but it's been thrown around in american politics as something taboo when we get down to it some of the things that proposals and people would agree with that so but that's 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 let's 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 britain and america i mean dates most of the world's has now adults it's a cool cap so this idea of ideology and corporate capitalism and in my own castes it isn't her so lots so all the nation cabinets makes people dots it serious and it makes people put serialism over spiritualists on so it's not that the us doing anything different sort of better off or it isn't or indeed australia that is the nature of corporates cap's it is and i think it's very sad i think it's very dangerous i think the fabric of society in the west coming in has been it was of corporate capitalism and it is therefore refreshing to see that more and more

people are looking to sell its ideology it's you know stay with windows quite only towards question here robert because i think it is really important in i'll give my own humble opinion here which of course it's my program so i'm going to do it but there is a considered attack on family values and the family itself and i think this is something that's 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 there's a concerted attack on it and i don't see anything good coming from it because you know why because no one's 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 they're kicking people out of their apartments so that illegal migrants can can

live there they're they're 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 in 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 anti-terrorist bunkers around these little christmas bazaars where people you know once celebrated for generations without any question. i think the trans national companies multinationals are involved here because they need a new man just you know like not to stalk about a new man. but don't they want to displace the current exact demographic to replace it where you have more of my and quote unquote voters yes i'll 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 today to china to moral he or she feels absolutely the same way or if they want to have children it's

a bad bad idea you know you're going to have children we can freeze yours sell some then give you a child without a husband when you all 40 so it's 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 to 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 multi-nationals 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. ok i'm going to go back to the markets

another question from one of our viewers come out commit me how saddam he asked is saudi arabia really changing or is it purely for a show with them 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 it's not just deprived it's is obscene therefore based on those 2 realities it is impossible for saudi arabia sort of course it's no different to saying for example christianity per se capitalism or say communism i say the not evil but evil deeds have been done in the name all capitalism christianity and communism but what is that all you need to do is read about the principles the tenets of what happens and you see

that this is an evil ideology and we have an equal ideology in place in our country entrenched in palace 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 don't know that politicians in britain and america and generalists in britain and america whether they are liberal or conservative have no moral compunction with a line in themselves with any governments with any organization with any group crew of the scientists crew of that country that group that organization holds american and british geo strategic objectives and saudi arabia yes these are very

important friends and allies so america and britain but it is the most potent country in the it's ok if i can interject here before we go to the break but it's russia's fault and china's fault that assad is still in love and power enemy and damascus you know jack just one thought. without western support on without the nishida from the west was 'd 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 solid a i have and other states into doing this ok and we're going to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our program on cross talk fanmail stay with r.t. .

under the. gun on. the. tries to report the 1st episode of 2020. days you're ever in are going to have some really special guests dr michael had said you know back in the seventy's 19 seventies there is a movie called death wish with charles bronson to remember that i remember that we could do a remake you were the star you play the charles bronson role as called debt which. vigilante banker economists that goes around new york blowing away bad debt where

you think i love it ok i will set that up. thousands of american men and women choose to sort of in their countries military decision little sheltered lives every song came to a complete. the day that i was right. you know told to shut up kill me and i see how it destroyed my life many screamed at me and he made me come in the gram my own arm and he raped me with his birthing if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military rape is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen

women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished to be a friend and almost 10 year career or chose 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 tower and violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. welcome back to crossfire where all things considered i'm peter lavelle remind you we're 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 i'm 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 it's just amazing how they accuse russians all of soul in 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 dame all the time so the same story with a need to we see a real inability to resolve conflicts because we see an inability to compromise and 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 i'm quoting the new york times you know. which was absurd because syria was suffering from a civil war itself. from the outside yeah but also turkish fighter jet was downed by syrian defense because that fighter jet breached the syrian airspace. and it was viewed as a causes big ego no the people in france in london were talking about the need to protect you know this year i just couldn't believe my ears say couldn't believe my eyes turkey is a take in syria it's the terrors of our hell lice so suddenly of their narrative to complete the then different direction of course in this situation you have called for lifts and of course you have 2 conflicts between turkey and european allies to

weaken the united states and are 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 that's its mission it has to exist but you have turkey it's really turning to a kind of neo autumn in islam here but mornings 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 everything's a big happy family and it's going to protect the west from all these evil outside forces which of course don't really exist and then you have this turkish behavior heir to one doing every i mean basically spitting in everybody's eye but no everything's all nice and fine with the north atlantic treaty organisation i mean media again is shameful in its coverage of this go ahead marcus. peter there's

a lot of naive that say a marx condensates in the west and also in russia regard in turkey no turkish later do anything so we can turkey's 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 west's 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 you see from america turkey goes in syria iraq illegally because of the blank check in the same now we have and now we have and now we have a libya coming up yes what's what we're up against says in public pizza is very different what he says in crimea in public he has to come across as this strong

leader he's 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 we've joined then you can a warrant but of course he's not going to do that the turkish state is unbelievably circumvent the other way you're sleeping with where you're saying our case is that the the the western alliance needs turkey more than turkey needs the western alliance is that what you're saying that's the kind of leverage they have. it's turkey survivals insert he's power that it exerts today in eastern mediterranean and in the middle waves that is based on its relationship with the west but also the west against massively through its influence in that circle through its strategic relationship which certainly is able to spy on russia from the black sea

it's a cements its hold over the middle east and in the eastern mediterranean so turkey is firmly entrenched in the west so it's only a guess and there's one there are so entrenched they can be extremely mysterious and that's exactly what we're seeing from and on let's 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 it's a question is there a cost the chinese sovereignty robert because what you see now is that you know what we've 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 backed away from it because it was in printing upon their sovereignty did we see you see this new phase one that they're all talking about being able to take the heat out of this trade so-called trade war and

the trump benefit from this go ahead. there's so much to benefit from good relations with with china and with china remaining sovereign and i don't see i don't 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 they're like. they have 400000000 people in the middle class ok 2nd 2nd amount wealthy people super rich people all the dark sort of billionaires i'm 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. prepared for what boys and then donate that's 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 in the long dollops that but the point is that the pressure from trump was still shameless it pulled even a bomb in because well look the pressure on china did not start with trump you know when a bomber suggested transpacific partnership t p p without the russian china which was intentional it was intentional and it was of course they've changed but the cheney's knowing that they are so able to compete they're almost bending back what's 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 that's going to be one of the very big story of course we have in speech and we have the u.s. presidential election coming up but so much else is happening in the world and in some little media time is given to it but it china will continue to be demonized if

the u.s. doesn't 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 it's very very different and depending on who you want to ask it's either they have parity in economic strength and g.d.p. or it's more or less the same and china will continue to accelerate but maybe at a 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 don't see them compromising their sovereignty go ahead marcus. china no never compromise itself and say it through its tailings for america for its tailings with russia in due to its statements with any country in the world but the chinese leadership are cheap

really aware that it's 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 it's trade and investment relationship with america so the chinese leadership really needs to start suit diversifying its economy in terms of who it's trading with in the world it needs to it needs to move away from its overwhelming dependence on america and there in lies china's economic killie's here and the americans know that the americans of course if there was a major disruption in need to make relationship between washington and beijing of course washington of course america would suffer immensely but peter china would suffer far more because of it because its relationship is censored overwhelmingly on its trade and investment relationship with america so that is where the problem

lies to china not chinese sovereignty but it's economic progress and it's economic progress in well future of us yeah but i would i would put mark is 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 are the greatest juxtaposition of course of the u.s. sends troops all over the world the chinese said build bridges and ports and factories 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 i'll give you the last 30 seconds of seconds on the program go ahead. well i just turn into 20

twentieth's there will be a continuation of old russian progress in the local chinese progress in the world and i do hope that countries such as key and scientists laid out and syria. independent software in countries and anyone in the well we sincerely east commits it's a global peace and global stability should rejoice for countries such as russia and china because no buckshot no china in the world that america truly it's the global last and that will mean more wars i don't more abject pain and suffering katie marcus ends this program on a very pessimistic moment 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 cross tough words.

in a world of big partisan movies mob and conspiracy it's 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 back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. leeks lost lonely guard cardio.
