Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If Trump starts testing nuclear weapons, who will be the biggest winner?
Q: Does anything suggest it is true, or is it essentially a totally false claim?
I think this is a difficult claim to verify, as it leads to long-standing disagreements in the U.S. national laboratories and the intelligence community about what Russia and China are actually doing.
If Trump starts testing nuclear weapons, who will be the biggest winner?
Q: What was your reaction when hearing this?
My first reaction was that the Department of War doesn't actually test nuclear weapons; it's the Department of Energy.
Can anyone govern France or will the political instability continue?
Q: Would an early presidential election essentially be an invitation to the Elisa for Marine Le Pen?
Yes, it is perceived as an invitation for Marine Le Pen as she and her party are performing well in the current political climate.
Can anyone govern France or will the political instability continue?
Q: How do you assess his chances of achieving this? And why is it important?
Getting a budget is crucial for France's functionality and to maintain investor confidence, despite the difficulties faced by a government without a majority in parliament.
Tomahawks for Ukraine? Trump wants to hand over the war to the Europeans
Q: How do you assess the drone and jets incidents in Poland, Estonia or Denmark? Are Russians testing EU defenses?
Franz suggests these incidents test NATO resolve and EU unity, emphasizing a careful, measured response rather than a reflexive military action against Russian aircraft.
