CrossTalk Bullhorns: Irresponsible rhetoric
Has Trump lost his mind? He goes off the deep-end over a tweet and dispatches nuclear submarines. He continues to slap tariffs left, right and center while acknowledging sanctions may not work on Russia. Also, how long can the US and Israel ignore the world on Gaza? CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.
Call it genocide
The Global Hunger Monitor says ‘worst case scenario of famine playing out in Gaza.’ The vast majority of the world is disgusted and outraged over Israel’s genocidal war on the Palestinians. Leading Israeli human rights groups agree. Meanwhile, the West only has words of concern. CrossTalking with Ramzy Baroud, Mustafa Barghouti, and Mazin Qumsiyeh.
Trump’s escalation
Trump has the habit of suddenly changing his mind. His 50-day ultimatum directed at Russia to end the Ukraine conflict is now up in the air. Why the change is anyone’s guess. However, it is fair to assume Trump wants to divert attention from his transparency problems. CrossTalking with Adeyinka Makinde, Daniel Lazare, and Drago Bosnic.
Protesting Zelensky
Ukraine front and center: Are we witnessing regime decay in Kiev? Is Zelensky now more afraid of the west than the Russians? And six months in, Trump’s foreign policy is in tatters. Why has it gone so badly? CrossTalking with Tarik Cyril Amar and Dmitry Babich.
Kiev regime’s decay
As Ukraine’s fortunes decline, the Kiev regime continues its campaign to maintain western support. Meanwhile, Russia is pushing for a peace process and not merely a ceasefire. It is doubtful more talks in Istanbul will achieve anything meaningful. CrossTalking with Matthew Crosston, Brandon Weichert, and Michael Rossi.
TACO president?
Is Donald Trump a strong leader? By what measure can his second term so far be deemed a success? Then there is the issue of America First. Trump hasn’t stopped foreign wars; he actually continues to fund them. And what about the Epstein files? Where is the transparency? CrossTalking with David Swanson, Misty Winston, and Bryce Greene.
