https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2023/05/12/rts-cross-talk-on-the-ukrainian-counter-offensive/RT’s ‘Cross Talk’ on the Ukrainian counter-offensiveLast night I published my thoughts on how the delivery of long range cruise missiles to Ukraine by Britain risks escalating the conflict. The outcome in Ukraine may now depend less on the success or failure of Ukrainian forces on the field of battle and more on the outcome of a looming Russia-UK war.
This insight did not come to me on its own. It was prompted by the direction that open discussion took in yesterday afternoon’s taping of the ‘Cross Talk’ program on RT moderated by Peter Lavelle. The pressures of thinking on your feet in this kind of talk show can sharpen and accelerate thought processes, at least as much as the preparation for going ‘on air’ forces you to read more widely and deeply than you otherwise would.
So, whatever the value of these programs for viewers, and I hope it is considerable, I find that they are of great value to the participants.
The links to yesterday’s show are given below. Due to technical problems, my appearance on the program begins in the second half.
