Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 241: Book Talk - Carlo Masala on If Russia Wins
Q: How do you assess the rearmament that's taking place within Europe?
It's good, but I remain skeptical whether countries will follow through on their commitments and whether they can effectively deter Russia by 2029.
Episode 241: Book Talk - Carlo Masala on If Russia Wins
Q: What happens if Russia wins in Ukraine?
Ukraine will likely see waves of migrants as people seek to escape occupied territories, leading to domestic debates and further distractions from the Russian threat.
Episode 241: Book Talk - Carlo Masala on If Russia Wins
Q: How was the German audience reaction?
So far, positive reviews with contributions to a much bigger debate about the threat from Russia.
Episode 240: Inside Moldova’s elections: What comes next?
Q: What implications do you see for Moldova regarding EU integration, especially with the situation in Transnistria?
Discussions are optimistic towards Ukraine's EU aspirations, but Moldova is recognized as an easier candidate for negotiation as it is smaller and not at war.
Episode 240: Inside Moldova’s elections: What comes next?
Q: Can you walk us through the results? Who were the main players and parties and how did they do in the election?
The elections were a turning point for Moldova, with the Party of Action and Solidarity winning just over 50% of the vote, securing 55 seats in parliament, followed by notable pro-Russian parties.
