[000:00:00;00] a is a seat in a couple of weeks. yeah, one of the stories will be close the following here on our team. that is our log for another from the newsroom. if you're in the mood for more, they'll do check out our social accounts and give it a follow wherever you see that green and black artillio.

ah ah ah . the news hello and welcome to cross back where all things considered. i'm peter lavelle for most prior to february 24th ukraine was just another eastern european country since then, the conflict and ukraine has created deep divisions all across europe and beyond.

russia in europe today virtually have no common ground. this may be the case for a very long time, become the cross talking europe and russia divided. i'm joined by my guess, the boyish mileage in washington. he's a blogger and calmness in brick. we have lucas gauge. he is a u. s. mc veteran, author and philosopher, and in london, we cross to add real canter. he is a founder of a consulting and a foreign affairs analyst, or a gentleman cross rules and effect. that means you can jump in in time you want, and i always appreciate the boy sure, let me go to you 1st. we have the, the german president and trust fund meyer says at berlin and moscow are now opponents. he describes rushes, a military operation in ukraine as a watershed. now by kind of got me thinking, because in the early, 2, thousands when we, when the war in afghanistan started, there was

a public opinion post and some university. and they asked africans, does 911 mean anything to you, the date, 911, and like 98 percent of the people who get it that nope, doesn't mean much to me at all. the reason i'm bringing this up is that stein meyer again, with this kind of neo colonial attitude, the world must accept the west's date and what it can sitters to be watersheds. we have to the whole world has to run on their calendar. because i mean, if you're looking at ukraine, i think a lot of people and ukraine, and particularly in russia, would say, i think we had to go back to the clinton administration with nato expansion here. why am i bringing this? because that we have a parallel ways we have different narratives, and when one narrative does not accept it, there is another alternative narrative to understanding something. we have a deadlock and that's what we have now with the west in russia. thoughts, my friend go. absolutely. i mean,

i'm on the records that the actual watershed was in 1999 when nato decided to expand and bomb yugoslavia, thereby obliterating any pretence that actually cared about international law. and that's literally the time where it last, russia, for all intents and purposes, i mean, this is, this is all documented it's, it's a wealth, well documented hypothesis. so what we're seeing today are the consequences of this, of these actions that there, this is not something that you know just happened yesterday. i know that a lot of people in the west including sy meyer have the memories of squirrels, of on unfair to mean. but, you know, the world didn't start yesterday and, you know, choices have consequences and i'm sorry, but if somebody who's from a country that got invaded by nazi germany in world war 2, for germans to say anything about, you know, opponents and this, and then the other especially after their own experience with russia over the past

2 centuries is just too rich. i mean, you, how can you even make one of this stuff? you know, used to be that the germans had to go to stalingrad to freeze to death and now they can just sit at home. and that's not because of russia, it's because they're all stupid policies. they built their entire economy on access to russian energy. and then they cut it off despite themselves. we'll look how well that's going for them. well, and the voice of a can say with you sir, didn't shield says what, how i referred to him on this program when he was in moscow before the complex started. and they were talking about ethnic cleansing in the dunbar. he laughed again, a german laughing it, ethnic cleansing is something that it said it is an unbecoming of a german liter here. let me go to lucas in the same vein here. when i look at, you know, responsible state craft in some articles in the american conservative, and they love to use this word, unprovoked, unprovoked. but this goes back to when a boy was talking about it. you know,

you don't have to go too far to see that this was intentionally provoked. lucas? yes, i mean these wars are engineered. if you ask me, that's my opinion on this whole thing. they know ocwen's gonna respond in order to push his buttons and the western media start with he invaded, that's where they start that and the most people thing, oh my god, he invaded unprovoked. why did he do? this is a madman. he's going to take all of you crate is going to take all of europe. we've heard these narratives before. so most people have no idea that the truth is this is going on for a long time. as he mentioned earlier, and you know, the shelling and on bossed at the cleansing in the region which is being denied by the german people there. and here we go, is repeating the same wise again. that's unprovoked when the reality, the miss agreements, the, the shelling and the people there, the, at the cleansing, the making it illegal to speak. russia. i mean, that's out of that not be ethnic cleansing, or there's, well, these are all facts undisputed facts. so when the west is starting the narrative with the invaded for no reason of that, he's a madman,

they're lying to everyone and our fortune. europeans are going to suffer this winter because of these lies that their leaders are telling them the same lies has sent me to iraq and other regions in the middle east as well. with all my fellow marines, i think a fight in afghanistan, or whatever the case of them that same wise against the saw is the same script, different actors, that's what we're seeing here. but andrea, if we, if we can say, would be an unprovoked element here. well, if you assume that something is unprovoked, then you cannot negotiate because you promote you, you did this intentionally, you woke up in the morning and suddenly you want do an invaded country, hear it because of the narrative here. you can even begin to think about negotiations because your net it is predicated on something that is absolutely false. go ahead in london and whoa, i agree. i mean the, the purpose, the whole purpose of this, linguistic. i love this, linguistic um no, you know, um a tends to to,

to somehow condemn bratia and portray i put in as a madman serve the one purpose of not, you know, i'm coming to the table and having me full discussion with russia. because if we assume all, if we paint a full all, all over a hostile country, in our opinion as being, you know, a mad and irrational, there's no incentive to have any discussion. but what is lacking in this whole ukrainian, russian, this course is the entire conflict and ukraine is a small piece of a larger picture. it is not about the ukraine. we know that in 2014, this conflict has been frozen after now the annexation, or all of crimea by russia. we know that this conference was brewing for 8 years,

but this a conflict is a part of a larger of a larger picture. as i've said, it is a. the picture is that the r u. s. for germany is fading the arm that the power of united states is fading. and we know that the new actors and new a power centers are managing us prisoner by the near putting right be sent during the by discussion club and, and ukraine. it's used as a tool to clinch the, the unit polo moment that is long gone. the same applies to taiwan. so at these flashing points in asia, which relates to taiwan and, and, and, and in eastern ukraine, or the flushing point, where the united states is trying to somehow provoke the major powers like russia and try enough to engage them in the continuous lea. a fighting

a proxy war with allies in europe or in asia. and somehow by some time for the us policy makers to figure out how they can prolong the address read. don't, don't forget the arms makers. ok, that's a key element. and all of this here, one gripped, replaces another graph, gattis and to ukraine, here. and the boy said, let me go back to you here. i mean, i'm very curious, you know, so is it worth losing russia to get ukraine and what ukraine are they getting? i mean, i find these, you know, these conferences about rebuilding ukraine, you know, 10 year plan and all about. they have no idea what they're talking about, what ukraine is going to be. do you think the 4 regions that have joined russia are going to suddenly return? i don't go ahead and washington. well there's, there's always these reconstruction conferences and you mentioned drift earlier. this is one another for ro, griffin. i mean, i remember, in bosnia they were doing reconstruction and you're talking about reconstruction a year before the war ended. how do you rebuild the things that can,

that keep getting destroyed on a daily basis? that's insane. you can't plan for reconstruction until the war is over. and there's this, this particular war shows no sign of ending the least because western in trenches it could end tomorrow. if washington that's actually pulling the financial and political strings of kiev said ok enough, but it won't the kit. so what are we even talking about? no, we did the reconstruction conference, this is just another money laundering scheme. this one benefiting the n g o is instead of the weapons makers. but it's, it's, it's not the, as i said, the west las russia years ago. they're not aware of this, but that will have and what they're trying to do here is they're following the playbook of a long dead polish roosevelt who imprinted his hatred of russia on right on u. s. foreign policy. and the, one of the clearest indictments of letting immigrants anywhere near delivers of

power in washington as big the fusion sky claimed that russia cannot be an empire if it doesn't have ukraine. and therefore it follows that the u. s. the global head, you much must control ukraine to prevent it from happening. and that's exactly what the, what the washington political establishment has been obsessed with. what that's written device. i mean, i'm glad you brought it up because embedded in that is the assumption that russia wants to be an empire. i mean, even the predicate it caves in on itself. because by projecting by, say, russia bombs, to be an empire. no, it's the we maintain american hegemony. that's what they're saying in that has nothing to do with russia. it's about maintaining american germany. go finish up before we go to the break. no. obviously never calls back no fusion sky smart. i just, i just said he was obsessed with hating russia, and that's exactly what this was motivated by. well, absolutely. let's let me go to gauge here gauge. i want to talk about last minute here,

and then i want to talk about the 2nd half of the program and nothing about ukraine without ukraine does not mean to you. well, i mean, it's a, it's a suicidal. they're good for you asked me. and i don't think the greenest went on their own at all. and if they're going to put it all in, i feel like the, the death tolls will go higher. that's why i think we should be pushing for peace right now. to prevent that from happening and russia has been saying, hey, let's sit down and talk other than the regions that have been annexed. but the referendum we could sit down and talk and create peace right now, but washington won't let it happen. the ukrainians are already basically enslaved by dc. let's be honest here. they're not a free democracy as they're claiming that well, i mean, but i think they, they don't mind this, this kind of a captivity. and i will explain in the 2nd half of the program gentlemen, i'm going to jump in here. we're going to go to a short break. and after that jabbering will continue our discussion on europe and russia divided stay with our d. ah,

mobile is this the best of both? no issue. my for the mobile one using annual g d. p per capita is about $4000.00 euros. last does that, we've got drugs of calling animal gold, a forced to smear rapidly, either near planner cost is still with us really in to put them in your prison, freshest lineup. mold olympic massey, nature littlest. out there. the single thought of unemployment is off the charts, moldova territorial integrity and sovereignty. we respect a country which enjoys financial support from the u. s. and the you is constantly roth by political and corruption scandals. but all that didn't stop mo, google obtaining you candidate status in 2022.

ah it a deal? law exposure to deal with deal issue a vehicle currently with motion school. it's not a fit of the money isn't done. love your schooling with either

with welcome to cross stock or all things are considered. i'm peter labelle tremendous. we're discussing europe and russia divided with okay, go back to our guests and not in a row. and it's very interesting that nothing about ukraine without ukraine. they say that about poll one, i think you remember that. okay, so it's kind of recycled phrase here. and it's a meaningless phrase here because there is no leverage that the ukrainians have whatsoever the, the ukrainian military for all intensive purposes was destroyed during the summer. now it is a nato war against russia. so it's, it's very much a fig leaf here. and it's an excuse for washington and london, the most, russo phobic place on the planet not to sit down with the russians because,

as we said already said in the program unprovoked, in all that, you know, you can't sit down and negotiate with someone that provokes a war which of course, in the bush has already talked about the 20th century example here. so this is an intentional strategy. i can see how it could possibly work to their advantage. oh, but let me remember it's the europeans who will suffer the most for it. while that is so magnanimous from your transatlantic friends in washington, go ahead. in london when i mean this is a fact the anglo sphere, i would say all the u. k. american block, or i would say the u. k. american, the establishment is using ukraine and people as a counselor in order to achieve its geopolitical objectives and goals. ah, but i mean, for, i can't go beyond the, the, the, the political, a risk between the west and, and, and russia. we have to bear in mind that this has

a tremendous i'm cultural consequences. i mean, i've spent last month in brussels and having a discussion with young policy makers. this has a huge impact how the social engineering of a future russo falls off, admitting ukrainian people who are still a believing in those lies that the russians are dependence and it will have an impact, you know, well beyond this conflict. if it, if the, if this ends. so i think of the social engineering, you know, it's, it's made by purpose because you, you will have on, on your board or whether it is in poland or other european countries. a huge influx of the ukrainian people who are living within the out and the most city towards russia. so it will not end this year or next year. it will have,

it will to have an impact on the next generations to come, so that it will never be a peace in ukraine or in between ukraine or russia. i'm, i'm not sure what we're supposed to a q in order to heal this one. but at this moment, from what i've observed in europe, is that the, this has a tremendous psychological and cultural impact on people in europe and in the way a lot in boise. i mean obviously the ukranian people are the sacrificial lamb and all this. but i would say europe is also okay, because it's the, again, you know, as you've already said, you know, the europe is, prosperity came from cheap russian energy. well, they don't want it, they, that's their choice. you know, it, you know, blame the russians. know it's your sanctions that are doing and it's not what russians though, has done. it's the sanctions, the boyish and so on that europe itself is a net loser and all of this. but i think that address is absolutely right. it

create the, the, the problems that europe is going to experience in the, in the future is going to be blamed on russia. but it's actually policy makers in washington. well, so there's, there's couple of things where here, 1st of all, it's uniquely evil that the global empire is basically doing everything it can to poison the well for generations while claiming it wants peace. what address just described is literally poisoning the well making sure that, that this, this hatred of russia perseveres in ukrainians in europe for, for decades or centuries or even forever. secondly, had him on would claim the right to rule on the basis that it's, we provide some kind of prosperity or order. neither of which is in evidence that the, the american empire is literally plunging europe into poverty and darkness. literally, for the sake of maintaining its primacy over the world, which is arguably yes,

fading and trying to blame russia for it and the european politicians. if not, the populace actually agrees. i mean, you have the german foreign minister saying, i don't care what my german voters think, i promise to support ukraine and i will, i will live up to that promise. so that's number 2. number 3. the whole, nothing about your crew with ukraine is it's, it's a phrase calculated to provoke thoughts about the munich agreement of $938.00 because in the minds of the washington establishment every day is me unique. every enemy hits their kind of stuck in this in perpetuity, like a weird groundhog day. but the issue is that, i'm sorry, if you're paying for all of your cranes bills, not just the military ones, but civilian ones. if you're literally propping up the regime, then you're responsible for them, not the other way round, and trying to say, oh, well, so lensky disagrees, is, is

a way to doc responsibility. this is the way this is the ultimate device to project accountability away from people who actually have it. and i would argue that among those people as victorian newland who's in charge of you. but the state department and we all know what she thinks about the u. thanks that at 20, intercepted full conversation, which i can't repeat in a family friendly channel. so we all know what it is. ok. look at it, let me go to you and break here. one of the interesting things is that this fanfare of no negotiate. so let's give it find a decree. no negotiations with potent ok. i mean it, that's such a, it's a strategic error and maybe it's, he's just a said naga for washington because then from the russian side then, well, there's no one to call. there's no, there's no interlocutor, so they're going to continue what they're going to do and the ground is getting hard. i can tell you it's cold now the 1st real cold day in moscow. and it's only going to get colder. and the russian military knows how to fight in the winter. i.

history has shown that ok, nato will well will find out, i suppose. ok. but you know, by saying no negotiations. well then rushes war aims will discontinue. i mean, no one wants to talk about it. i mean it is, it's full hardy, but this is what they want to do because they want to virtue signal. but again, how does that help ukrainians? how does it help you repeat? and during the winter, go ahead, lucas doesn't at all. and i would already, this is, this is purposely engineered and you know, the argument is what we can't trust and he's just not, he's going to go back and whatever. he says he's offering piece, it's nonsense. well, if that were the case, if your cranium or smart about it, they would sit down and p stocks and then he would break them. but they know he wouldn't break them. so that's why they can't have the p stocks. we have to keep pushing for this, you know, fight that they cannot possibly win. and all of europe is going to suffer for work . and here in america, i've already suffering. our gas prices are ridiculous, running on a diesel. what do we have to do with this work for special interests, obviously, and there you go. so, you know, d, c, pulling the strings again,

ukraine is already gone. they know they're not free at all. if you ask me, they're a proxy war slave snake for the u. s. nato and the you and, you know, i don't, this is going to end. well, it all, in fact, us as the russians of the mobilized here, comes the winter. now the gloves are off and after the terrorist attacks of the crimea branch after the assassination of their you do again. you know, how can the russians play, you know, nice anymore, they can't, and they have to do what's necessary to neutralize you crate. not destroy it and kill everyone but to neutralize it. make sure it doesn't become this state. this proxy what a fortune has my colleagues have mentioned they have already implement. they've already basically conditioned to people to hate russians even if this were to end tomorrow. unfortunately, and that's how these people engineered these conflicts for decades and forever, essentially. and you have this fight against the nation in london. you know, you hear this, me, him all the time. you know, you can't make it negotiations with the russians here all the time. ok, but you know, most people haven't heard about it in the west because media supply and,

but the mince processing of who didn't for fill their commitments to the mince process. it was the west. ok. i'm actually in fact if ukraine had fulfilled to minsk agreements, they would have been a net winner in all of this because they didn't do it. they're a net loser. go ahead in london. i absolutely agree with your pizza, but we also have to, ah, bear in mind of the very big, very beginning of this year. russia wanted a security guarantees from united states and from the west of large. but it, this wasn't provided to russia, which means that, you know, this conflict was unavailable. you know, unavoidable from, from, from the western perspective. everything was, you know, going into that direction to, to somehow a provoke russia onto, to react to a, to, to, to, to de meddling on, on, on,

on his borders. so this goes back to what i said be before the on or before the break. the, the, with the russian government will neutralize you. it doesn't matter because you will have a contingent of people. graham, people with interest in poland or united kingdom, who grew up with a tricity towards russia. so it is in it whether it will be, you know, government in exile in london. it, whether it will be a government in exile in poland. you will have a ukrainian pro problem for the foreseeable future. so this, this doesn't look very well, because if you, if you talk to anyone in western europe, the people are afraid of the fact that their foreign policy and national interest has been hijacked by the u. green goals, so you, you can't have your, your legitimate national interest, these of the russia as a german, as a french person, or as

a citizen of belgium. because everything has been hijacked by the, by the ukraine course. and it has been imposed by the washington, d, c. and, and, and, and geopolitical lose like a friedman all managing ski. so i, it is very frightening. it is very frightening because man, no country has, has its own legitimate interest at the moment. all these interests are not taking into consideration, and even when we see people who are protesting on the streets of, of western europe, they are being labeled by the mainstream price as a 5th column of, of, of the russian propaganda. so this is outrageous and, and this will cook, recreate it, reached a huge river between society and governments. yeah. well, you know, it will, i, i very much agree with you this generational thing this coming in because it's, it's social programming here. but as at the end of the day, we can discuss it be almost out of time here, rush is going to be just fine without euro,

but europe is not going to be just fine without russia. and we'll get there. going to find that out. the hard way because not just one hard winter may be fine. i have hard winters ahead and who is going to be pay, who's going to make money off it? their patron and the u. s. and oil companies are a gentleman that's all the time we have want to thank my guess and watch it in break and in london. and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at ortiz, see you next time. remember, cross top with ah no one else. so the wrong one, i'll just don't hold any new world yet to shape out disdain becomes the african and engagement equals the trail. when so

many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah, yes. now you need yeah. if it's deployed near to nancy ro, them group kim's the new book that probably the national shifting radiator. yeah. will showcase in there and let them know that sounds good to the boy. why is it up to a boy ah, in

with a quote i'm in my chair. it's laura doesn't want that extra mom, but i know it's up a minute. so ah, breaking news on art. see russia resumes participation in the block c grain deal after ukraine gives the necessary written guarantees that they will not use the corridor for military purposes. also ahead in the program, i protest you said un trucks on fire in the democratic republic of congo, proclaimed the peacekeepers. vehicles, housing transporting insurgents near the road. one been border this is the pits,
