the, the the, [000:00:00;00] the hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter levelland, french president, emmanuel. the ground says he's advocating strategic ambiguity when it comes to ukraine. this includes funding western military personnel to fight for kids. this is not strategic ambiguity, but rather strategic confusion. the

prospect in ukraine i'm joined by my guest over desires in geneva. he is an author and former un independent expert on international order in brussels. we turn to appear emmanuel. tom, mom, he is electra at lee on university and in nice we cross through alex become well rich. he is a veteran reporter and foreign affairs analyst, or a gentleman cross cycles and effect. that means you can jump any time you want. and i always appreciate it, i would somebody go to you 1st in nice because you're in france, so nice. so i started out with the french president here. he says he's advocating a form of strategic ambiguity. and then he says, under the conditions in which he will send troops, his troops, they tow troops, somebody's troops, i don't know of, and those conditions, are it kids lines break, or they a request is made, prized zelinski. so it, i don't see that is m b a and beauty. i find it confusing and certainly very dangerous. go ahead, alex, find the beauty, right. it's one of 2 things. either you don't know what you're talking about. really funny because you see like it's, it's,

it's that simple going along the lines. you can say he's gonna send troops and if a line breaks or if you create, makes a request. well, i think you create would have already made that requested that i had a chance to make a request. these me is, or you'll find the sky ideas. and i felt like little napoleon here, he's, he's pushing out all these ideas to, to need a while later was really not going back to in the morning. you talked and he said, politician, nobody wants to go until you create a official. now the other side of the court is we know that since 2014, they couldn't use the americans, the french, the british, everybody stayed on the ground in ukraine, nevada officially. so what does this make of what the process of staple makes a big difference? actually when you look at the different maddox for your face, when you say you're basically on the ground, well, that takes things up a level and that's what people are sick and tired. we need to stop this type of rhetoric. we should be pulling back. we know what the situation is on the ground. winds have been broken time and time again because you crated it,

backing off their backing off their minus be broken very quickly and solidly in the past few months. so why would background say this posture? i mean, you have germany, which is the economic engine of europe, and then you have france, which is the most hardcore military, let's say the troops or existence or the military gear. and you're the armstrong, you know that both france. but that does not mean that you shouldn't be rattling that sort as much as i get rambling it. i hope that the president, she told him a thing or 2 about this call to actually run these days. because i need to sometimes have the adults in the room and we know when back from that with him, we all looked like the adult in the room. so let's go back, let's stop playing these uh, you know, the slow your games with one another. let's get some solution. yeah, i agree, alford, you know, the, but if you look at the, the, the predicate of the crown statements and he's got his all over the place. he actually was very conciliatory in the beginning of all of this. now he's trying to be the hoc in nato, but you know, it'd be the,

the way the conditions that he said they know if the lines break. and this owens, he makes the call. doesn't that tell you that the ukraine is losing and maybe they should try a different strategy? alfred, as well obviously of credit is losing and they know what they're putting themselves on under pressure. and this makes me think of another french napoleon i fully understood who did not stop provoking the impressions and his arrogance, uh, watched them eventually, doctors a face to declare war on prussia, which he lost in 6 months now. um, we don't ones that we have no clear states that can destroy not only themselves but the rest of humanity. so you need to break the gridlock. you would

need to break the break as you need to accept the fact that the whether we liked it or not, we live on only one planet and uh, we cannot afford to continue with escalation. what is not only mat crohn who's mad it is joe biden? and anthony, blinking and all of phillips and his born minister and recei. uh so like, um this 4 minutes or um, uh, david camera on there. oh. using very belligerent rhetoric. well, i mean, okay, now the other 2 brought up a camera on i'll go to appear menu. well, i mean, he very loosely said, you know, that you, you, craig can use whatever british weapons they want and wherever they want, even against rush i brush are proper. and then the, the, the, the response to that is that the russians are saying, well,

they will respond to any use of weapons that use against rush are used by the ukrainians. if it's use in ukraine or even beyond ukraine. now that is getting serious business here. go ahead peer emanuel. yes. your looks like and not chief of for our western states, and we tried so sort of trying to take the lead. know of the and not chief for underlying got to are you create a new will be the winnings along the russia should lose football. and this is not the up thing on the grounds. so regarding the public opinion or the, the very relies there being a top 30 misinterpreting risk of crises from the beginning paper. no. this, they understand more about or, or if it's not cheap,

less fate. and the images and much more like overall wisdom the just been don't know what to do more to, to still appear as critical or andrew are the way the filed is to increase or the, your okesha narrative like crew pushing troops on the wrong, the beating the size or hitching your territory of russia or vote from the french, fun of you, your good or so these are in town or the debates in france we'd be a mixed and set you up and part of an approaching wherever the politic are brought . to remind you that and by cool is very, is gonna lose the butter because or how somebody in pond us through an art is made or position be so we still bothered on buying looking? oh is no, but dollar dollars votes expected from the bought to you have made money very much . okay. so the money in my car would like to great falls to be not cheap of being

very strongly international. they don't have very many. well, let me ask the question, do young uh french soldiers want to go fight in ukraine? apparently they're already there. so i'm, i mean, i, you would be the, the, the general staff of france will allow them across to make that decision. i mean, or even the people make a decision here that the same, this the stikes, the mistakes are so high for someone pastoring. yes, that's right. of each center was because, or it looks like you're this narrative is increasing and the rising mistakes only in the end. we don't know because to look pretty border or image you're not home, might to be your feel obliged to do something to do it tuesday and really troops officially we don't know. but for many general are seen for us. experts saves you, she's, she's, are, you will be a disaster because france has not become of any teach with strategy come big. you t, your need, the, your immediate or recovery beatitude behind. and for us as is not ready for,

i entered city war. and this is why it is so denture was renewal, but we also already some instruct jobs on the grounds. and of it tried to hide these fact and the question is, would it become office charge with troops on the ground? and the, even though we've been minimum reverse of troops or each would be a disaster un, under most a french peeper, does that really? but the main politic are properties of position does that really? but, but it would be scenario tv, student going on. so i think on to the end of, for your pin it actually has made, made, well, i mean, you know, it made it was good and let me go to alex back and needs. it was pretty pathetic if you're doing this kind of calculation based on europe and elections that the stakes are much higher then these elections coming up here. you know, the problem alex here is that the chrome keeps saying russia should not be allowed to win. is that a strategy and what about ukraine?

go ahead. no. i mean, that's a big question and i, what are the say the rest of wants to take over? all of you create that has never been the, the, the idea. if anything, the 1st move is a key was to do the exact same thing that the americans did announce the cool government. and basically put somebody else in charge with a little bit more common sense. the people that are running the show at the time for russian to take over ukraine. again, that's not a strategic value to reference goals, all the to the that they're holding the land and the russian speakers with their that lost their rights to speak their language, ross butler, just to teach their, their kids russians to watch the rights to have their signs up and russian, i mean, these are, these are things that we see happen around the world when you are either ethnic cleansing or you're pushing people out of an area. so uh, what russians did was defending is people of people that could identify themselves as russian does rush. i have a, a, basically some sort of idea of going to the very end of your credit of inquiry about missiles pointing out at your brushing distance. don't have to go up to the border of the youtube to hit their target,

just like western mrs. don't have to go up to the board or russia, but for some reason, they thought it would be a good idea to expand the needle, you credit, which is the biggest level of land next to russia all the way up to the border. and we all know, i think we all know that we're sitting here and the people that are watching this. we know how this started. we know that there were negotiations on the table that this never had to happen. and they all came from the west, us and friends, and in the head of young people, i've been talking more forever honest with you. i don't see all of this is the $99.00 a month. that's the bottom line. we have special interest groups. the united states and beyond that, we're making a lot of cash for the best. and at the same time, a lot of people are dying and they don't have to send americans. and when they can use, you could use as content and ponder and those ports abilities are going through. this are absolutely no reason this can't stop. well, alex, so they can say to you, before i say with you before we go to the break here, what happens if french troops start dying? what is background going to do then? what they say that the pressure mercenaries of what it well,

the power and leave him, they say is already there. they say the forwarding legions already. there are of the formulas everywhere. and you and j. c. up to the canadian aspects of horses or wherever they are in 2014 and i'm sure they're, they're there to, to some degree right now. just like probably all righty. i'm still going to have a jump in here. we're going to go to a hard break, and after that hard break, we'll continue our discussion about you can stay with our team, the,

[000:00:00;00] the russian states. never as tight as a phone and the most sense community best. most all sense and up the in the 65 with the keys, 195 must be the one else holes. question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin machine, the state on the rushes to day and split the r t supposed neg, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv

services, which they just basically steve and twist which is the welcome at the prospect. were all things are considered? i'm peter roosevelt. true mind you were discussing. you create the okay, let's go back to l for it in geneva, which is this for every action. there is an equal reaction in the reaction build this loose rhetoric that we have heard of, particularly over the last few new cycles or rushes decided to and start to exercise is, is a, uh, a new killer drills um for that. um, uh, duper as a precaution because of the very provocative language coming out of western capital's irresponsible language. i would say, i think we would all agree, but say there is

a reaction and this is an escalation. don't western leaders understand that this is a reaction to their loose rhetoric, alfred or uh, no, they do not want to understand. i mean, they live in their power level world are parallel reality. uh and the public. the masses are subject to re length last spring washer. i mean, and it's not only new york times, washington post, and then right, well down defined it's, i don't even hear in switzerland. you re nonsense in the no, i have to over to the title and organizations like mine, i'm in the dba. international peace research institute, the get rate, we have pulled out a blueprint for peace and ukraine. we have sent it to the r o. c h in the hall in burn. and of course you know that we in switzerland i most was visited. we

are going to have uh, in may and do this so called peace conference of the building and stuck on lake road south. now they are going to be a lot of blueprints for piece. the 10 point plan off. uh, sure landscape is delusional. absolutely. uh, disconnected, uh, from reality. but, uh, the 12 point point plan of the chinese is good. the 10 point blind of the africans is good. uh, the international progress organization has put up a very good plan also told francis had put out a plan. so there are ideas out there. and my hope is that if enough states participate, obviously russia is not going to participate. that's clear. but if uh,

say the presence of china and india and south africa and brazil and mexico, etc might lead the conference to this car. the 10 point applying of isolated scale, it's totally unrealistic. i start to look for possibilities of a compromise. well, it is, it's interesting now for that, you mentioned a member of the countries around the world, the energy individual, the pope, in organizations that have a blueprint to start the process of ending this complex here. i'm going to go to appear menu. all right. now, um, but no western leader does that no western lead, no one in nato. does that and putting into nausea, right. hang on, perfect, hang on, hang on, i'm putting, so now you ration, he said russia remains open to dialogue and it's up to the other side to decide how to move forward appearing menu. well, i mean, where is the, the, the piece plan from the biden. people from cameron from sergeant schultz, where is it? they never use that language of, of ending this conflict and maintaining security for all players. they never talk

about language. go ahead and brussels. yeah, so unfortunately for i've seen it in european member states of natal. i'm not through the silver ring anymore and resp or are they your? i think they this feeling more or while you are g 2 up to your us or why you are to be 0 attempting system and with a run ca, we'd be ne, to vent within independent voters. and this is like your, the, your pants are competing to be the best artist of washington and are trying to also at the same time to see the vacuum in case of the trunk will be inactive because they seem to the united states with the less um, less it'd be present in europe in office, but that's a sick time. very your, the photo, the main, your part of the car objectives of,

of washington. and it's likely they want to find a nice in to be sure. or the hey, monique, of washington in europe and to, to, to found vale own leadership weaving, or vis systemic or the west on the dominus, we've out to try to find any, your end of this conflict because we're menu. well, i, i don't want to, i don't want to be too insulting here, but is there any leadership in europe at all? i mean, you know, you see this from a crown. he is, he's is channeling his entered the gall. he can't find it. um, cameron is no churchill, i mean, where is leadership in europe? i mean, they're all replaced. well, you could take the prime minister from finland and put them in italy. it wouldn't, no one would notice. go ahead go exactly. it would be

closer. the better to kind of cross easier afraid very your low quality to be frank. those seems to departure of the voting for us on more more. you've been seeing prison in the front. small more lines on the i would say are under sex on the water. we go to bed heavy or independent voice and are image even more cool so it doesn't have any experience of the read crises of low for shock. she and i was there last president with experience in war and are they use it? they don't understand this new merchant put on war because they come from in the ideal g. carter butler, a francis, should do. it takes the lead, vis europe and the project. but the e. u is dependent on a tool and west of the maintenance under the can be done on the stand up to position them serve in this new emergency put on work emerging. we're actually due

is losing power on the side only in a growth cvt closed. the speaking of the young, aggressive out the way we have the polish official them wanting to host the american nuclear missiles on their soil. i mean, what country in the world as we know, we want, we want to be a target for in a nuclear war. i, i just, i can't understand that whatsoever. why would you want to do that? unless you want to just curry favor, you want to, you want it, you're giving a nod to washington. you, where are you? where are you guys in europe to get differential get the germans? poland will stand with you. i mean, this is insanity red and the russians are not going to react to it. really go ahead and why don't we need to talk? suppose people instead of the post politicians withdrawal, obviously, but i don't think the if he talked to anybody that's as low as 80, we're here a year of a, they're both. oh, you're very different story to their feelings to what's happening in ukraine. they're, they're still in some sense in the you added your but if you look at the end of the line, they're looking at the hungary, if you're looking to grace and you listen to some of their politicians,

these are people that have seen it, especially the crisis i get outside of the utah the serve use you know there's, there's this whole. ready mythology, that serbia somehow attached to, to rush to like it, divide them delafield court. it's, it's not there. there's people that are pro and anti rush and serbia as well as increases. but these are countries that see war, they know what it's about, that they're politicians that are now leading. ready stations know exactly what happens and they know that it's, it's something to be avoided, go little bit north, the hungry. then you just got a politician there, a man running the show that seems out a lot more common sense that when you start from the west. well, you alford, it seems to me with all this loose and dangerous rhetoric coming out of western capital's out of nato land here, their primary objective is to keep it going, in lieu of doing something else. they don't know what to do. so what,

what's the option? keep it going until the last ukrainian is gone. alfred, it was going to be back when the last 2 great and is gone. because what do you do at that particular point? i mean, the sooner or later you have to accept that this failed the same as the us incursions in vietnam, failed. same as that your was incursion in afghanistan, failed the yours, does it very easily, just turns the page. nothing ever happened. we forget it. we leave a mess behind, but the europeans, they are in a very difficult position. there are intelligent people like dominique to the box who have uh said, very intelligent things. you have in german, a guy on shore and blog, and several older politicians, but they're not in power. there is a total disconnect between the elite, between our so called democratically elected leaders, and the people as the masses of the people in spain or friends,

or nearly they don't want war. nobody wants more, but their leaders are making money. their leaders are how exec in the service of washington or wait one day, historians will tell us. or if you're with lawyers that can explain that to us today would be useful. but uh, we are just postponing uh, the moment of proofs. and i'm very concerned about miscalculations at that time when ukraine has really been defeated. what they yeah. well, it's interesting, perry, manual i, i, i've often said on this program. you know what you, what you often hear the phrase future historians will explain to us how we got here . but i don't think we really need his story in the future. we're going to need psychologists. what was wrong with these decision makers? why did they make the decisions the way they did? they're making decisions against their own invested interest, their own people's interest. and there was security because at the end of the day,

for the russians, this is all about security and know your opinion leader is talking about security. it's amazing to me. go ahead, parent manuel. yes, it's we remember. let's remember, always fame was book the sleep woke up from christopher cock, all we arrive. oh, the 1st world war is tots each and do each countries a different interest to be before it will be a low kind of war on venue. read came to with 1st of all because we were miscalculations. are a lot of properties on the, from all sides there with lying in the newspapers, to what people are. that's no, actually the people are, they want to find the right information. we are to not keep sides, so need to and that's yukon and do mobile or peeper. for example, for us very read the more more i tell not cheap p expos,

whichever choose to what people are. and that's why the elections he's going to be already. it'd be good the surprise or, and do also, or many military expos actually would be lying on tv, on the read situation. because they've been paid to say that, that they don't know what to do. they don't know what to say anymore because what research is not happening and are very, very find only a growth cvt on the well large and we're gonna end up selling or we're going to end the program on the same road that we started it. this is all strategic confusion and we're all going to pay dearly for gentleman that's all the time we have a want to thank my guessing nice brussels and engineers. and of course i want to thank our viewers for watching us here at ortiz. see you next time and remember across the rules,

the, [000:00:00;00] the, the really, it was story the, the got the full, i'm on the board. that's where i can use vows. originally, you spoke to the senior boy menu on the show you as a general facility based in yet periods, which are likely to escape photos that any vision is going to have, look up everything and grab it up. still bundle ski at the at the site. the goal of this, when you look at the new yeah, that is that side of it is leveled there. they use a c assessment. ready this form was 0. is principal level pursuing in nearest the blue bush and you for that any percentage of the flemish

happens or somebody to pay today. you would cease to come in, you have to just catch the senior the after the end of world war 2, great britain decided to make up for his losses with the merciless exploitation of its colonies. the plundering of the occupied territories. have my la, devastated as a result of decades long fighting extremely hard days in, grew ended. 1948. the colonial administration was forced to declare
