Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Putin loses fifth member of his inner circle | Diane Francis
Q: Is there potential for a diplomatic path given the current stalemate between Russia and Ukraine?
There remains a possibility for talks, but progress hinges on Russia's demands and the willingness of Western allies to engage beyond symbolic gestures; the political calculus is fragile and time-bound.
Putin loses fifth member of his inner circle | Diane Francis
Q: Do you think oil is the new weapon of war?
Oil is a geoeconomic weapon and a central lever in global strategy; while it's powerful, the dynamics are complex and depend on multiple actors, including sanctions and supply routes.
Putin’s inner circle stumped by Ukraine’s drone attack ingenuity | Eliot Wilson
Q: What does success look like for Putin in this conflict, and does he want to maintain the current status quo or push for more?
Success appears to be a prolonged conflict with Western fatigue; Putin may seek to maintain influence over occupied territories while leveraging international divisions, aiming to prevent a decisive defeat and keep options open for future negotiations or escalations.
Putin’s inner circle stumped by Ukraine’s drone attack ingenuity | Eliot Wilson
Q: What do you think Putin is making of this with regard to his position geopolitically, but also what he's trying to achieve in Ukraine?
Putin is likely pleased by the distraction from Ukraine and will assess potential gains from fracture within Western alliances, while still pressuring Ukraine and seeking a settlement that preserves strategic aims, possibly keeping multiple options open and exploiting any signs of division.
Putin cornered as Ukraine brings the fight inside Russia | Amb. Kurt Volker
Q: Do you think he will come around and support Ukraine?
The guest suggests it's possible but uncertain; Putin has repeatedly dismissed serious proposals, and while a shift could occur, it would require tangible changes in policy and leadership stance from Washington and allies.
