This week I welcomed having a few more minutes than usual on TV to discuss NATO/Russia/Ukraine and to offer some guesses as to what may be in store.
The CrossTalk program was pre-recorded on Wednesday morning (EST) Jan. 26th — i.e., just before Secretary of State Blinken announced that Ambassador John Sullivan had handed over Washington’s response to the proposals Russia gave the U.S. on Dec. 15 (and made public two days later).
(Significantly, Blinken made a point of asserting that the U.S. document was sent with the blessing of President Joe Biden, and that Biden was intimately involved in its drafting, making some personal edits. Putin has asked the president to remain personally involved.)
CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle invited Phil Giraldi and Pierre-Emmanuel Thomas to be on with me. The show has gotten close to 20,000 views on YouTube.
