members of flight 239 but now every time something is revealed that the hard drives, five strips were found with the immediate assumption there is something nefarious he was going through those. what is your deduction? >> if there were locations or airports or getting rid of the airplane that would support that theory. obviously that is very relevant. they have to look get other things as well. cooking if they change altitudes and is similar fashion to know the way we think it did. that would show more nefarious action as opposed to something else. lou: you referring to the
7:05 pm
strong left turn from altitude a and a dissent he executed. >> correct. >> and experts said executing that turned that autopilot could not execute. i was astonished by that give us your opinion. >> autopilot is to not try to make the of pilot do safely even with a pilot it with u.s. standard 20-degree turn that is soft but there is some evidence that might have been the type of turn being paid to evidence of flight management system was engaged with a different route than the original route taken by the aircraft. experts are surmising that both pilots were involved because one has a seat the other puts it in but that is

7:16 pm
and our fox news military analyst. what is your reaction when you hear the of vice president of united states making comments? >> if we had not been hearing rhetoric like this for the last year-and-a-half with other situations or the last three weeks dealing with crimea and the russians you would take it seriously. but it is hard now in the face of what has taken place to take it seriously and our nato allies have the big question mark about the steadfast of the united states to commit to their security and sovereignty given the events of the last three weeks. lou: this administration is an agreement with into lumber called to move ahead with sanctions i am not sure
7:17 pm
entirely resolved but nato seems threatened because they play no role in the president's rhetoric or any of his directives of consequences. wearing is nato now through u.s. and european security? >> it is the implied threat to nato taken what happened. it is not a nato country but a border country the number of nato countries that border russia and have historical ties that is the similarity. given the feeble and timid response it would encourage many the war around putin and his advisers to put on the table there is an opportunity to force the collapse of the nato alliance to assume that nato
7:18 pm
would likely not respond given the events of the last few weeks. lou: are we in the extraordinarily dangerous juncture? in this country's history when it is clear to all who are not military experts but watching what is happening the united states the in europe have the stomach for a fight with no real strategy to engage in defense of europe or even the ukraine that we thought we had to deal? >> you are absolutely right. strategically we are in a situation that international order we thought was in
7:19 pm
place with the collapse of the soviet union is becoming a part. military is a factor but when your adversary believes you will not use it that takes away all diplomacy. if they believe we're not willing to fight, they will keep coming and coming and coming a toll-free proved to the contrary. right now all that is on the table is rhetoric. lou: every and, as syria syria, both supported by russia. and as our president is fond of saying there will be consequences to expect consequences in the middle east as a result authored by russia? >> absolutely. first of all, the policy the
7:20 pm
white house has been using and is so concerned about the relationship with russia with afghanistan and syria and iran and nuclear disarmament. but things will worsen in the middle eastern allies already on the record having grave reservations about our ability to stand behind them with the rise of the al qaeda and the influence of vibration. this will give credence to that. the iranians will be encouraged to move to the nuclear weapon and that this administration has no stomach to deal with military force. giving that the chinese are watching it is not surprising if they would hop on the island in the western pacific that belongs to another nation or japan to claim it as their own and tear anybody to do something about it. lou: general thank you for
