this is coming to life for a quick check of the headlines. terror returns to iraq the country is rocked by the worst violence since the u.s. was troll as a wave of bomb attacks leave more than one hundred dead after al qaida answers its history the. syrian government statements that chemical weapons won't be used in its internal conflict creates media scare stories with the hype and what stockpiles might be deployed against a poor and oppressed. and the eurozone debt crisis is beginning to the u.k. with wealthy europeans investing in london property as a safe haven driving up property prices for local. there's the headlines now all she talks to foreign policy analyst and also john first about the security issues

that the u.s. and its nato allies are failing to resolve. they are being leaders are trying to pull out of afghanistan and we see what the french president is trying to do how do you think that will affect the need to operations in afghanistan and maybe the alliance of nato in general well from the point of view of a military planner of course i'm not going to be very happy about that they rely on these commitments made by nato partners on the other hand from my point of view it might accelerate the push for a diplomatic slash political solution to the situation in afghanistan we have been trying for the last decade to solve the problem of afghanistan militarily and it hasn't been solved and that's not to say that it's going to be easy to solve the problem diplomatically or politically or economically but we haven't really

invested the time the energy the money into that side of the equation to try to find some stability some political stability in afghanistan that's going to be the real charge over the next couple of years my hope is that the withdrawal of french troops dutch troops canadian and australian troops that will actually lift the diplomatic solutions higher on the agenda of the united states and its partners that many might argue that it's not the natives responsibility to boost the economy of afghanistan specially at this time it isn't nato has responsibility of course nato is responsible for ensuring you know overall security for the country within which there can be economic growth within which there can be political stability. nato of course has been involved in things that go beyond strictly speaking its military capacities in part because nato realizes that if you look around after the

end of the cold war there aren't a lot of military missions to be engaged in so nato has perforce looked at other possible operations whether it's delivery of a or it's dealing with post. crisis situations natural disasters etcetera environmental situations so nato has been looking at that but right now at least for afghanistan that the focus has been on the military but what i'd like to see with the reduction of nato forces in afghanistan i'd like to see the other actors in the situation to step up to the plate and not just the united states and nato but it really has to be a regional solution you have to involve god it's going to russia should be on at the table there should be discussions with iran and with india as well and this is a regional problem all of these countries have had interest and continue to have interest in afghanistan they should also be playing

a role in trying to find some kind of solution but ten years after the presence of nato in afghanistan i mean it didn't seem to improve many might even i get that the taliban and caught up problems are even greater now than they were ten years ago how do you think they can balance this and they kind of and the economic stability at the same time well i would i would say that the situation for al qaeda has definitely not improved. numbers very few at this point in afghanistan. or in pakistan overall a huge presence and whatever presence al qaeda has it's largely not not region any longer and it's shifted to yemen to other parts of the world. taliban yes of course the taliban has basically responded by either going into hybrid. they should at times of greater nato bombing and attacks or when nato retreats a little bit and goes on the offensive but the taliban has both its military and

its political side we have had and we've been trying from washington to engage the taliban to set up a kind of negotiating office for the taliban those are continuing the pace it's not going to be easy and it hasn't been successful i mean she's on anything up in. pakistan you talk a lot about the involvement of pakistan going at it when the u.s. and the nato alliance with pakistan over their supply route to afghanistan. how do you see that in fact the operations in afghanistan global a military point of view of course the supply lines are very important it's cheaper to go through pakistan in many cases it's safer and so having pakistan on our side is critically important but at the same time we have to look at why pakistan you know closed down those operations pakistani government felt that our kind of violating its sovereignty and any number of occasions not just violating

sovereignty but actually killing pakistani soldiers mistakenly but whatever they were unhappy with that and they continue not to be happy with that so if we're going to have pakistan as an ally we have to seriously address their concerns about sovereignty issues i think we have a larger discussion a regional discussion that involves pakistan as a autonomous actor goes somewhat toward their goal of being taken seriously as a sovereign state it is a sovereign state with interests in the region many class send let such egypt benefit this this system has to the west and maybe you are even well. it's tough to talk about capabilities when it comes to missile defense because as a system it hasn't been the most successful system that we put forward from a military point of view a consistent. they fails in terms of its tasks as cost overruns there have been several recent reports from the g.a.o. various academic institutions calling into question the entire system nevertheless

europe has committed several countries of course turkey has committed poland italy to at least have some role to play in this defense system only a radar capability. nato is scrambling to kind of find the money for this because it's going to be an extraordinarily expensive system and the europeans have only pointed up a small portion of that and you know at a time when the united states is desperately looking for ways to cut military oh as much as five hundred billion minimum i think state yours is going to be tough to to find support both here in the united states and in europe for a much more robust missile defense system so i think nato is trying to put a best possible face on what is still a contentious issue and that's not even taking into account russia's opposition to

this i defend the scientists you were referring to even said that they should scrap key parts of the whole system but. there is complains that this system doesn't even protect us rather protects europe you know well there are a lot of systems that we have in place that have dubious you know feasibility a dubious value i mean just look at the tactical nuclear weapons we maintain still in europe if you look at the range at which those nuclear weapons would strike they only would strike within europe itself barely might cleaning brought in might touch kaliningrad and that's it why do we keep them there they have no military utility whatsoever we keep them there for outdated cold war reasons why do we maintain a missile defense system well in part because of the. cold war legacy we started this program in the cold war we still have this idea that somehow or protect the united states and western europe from

a much larger missile threat but the specific missile threat from this is iran and right now iran doesn't have the capability to to reach europe in any reasonable or sensible way so the missile defense system is really is of dubious value right now and i think that's why it's difficult to get buy in for it from our european allies they have a lot of things they have to spend money on and to think decades down the line when such a system would be both feasible maybe and usable maybe and useful maybe is a big commitment and sad pathetic all systems russia opposes the system yes russia's been invited to participate if i were russia i would say look i spent my money on this but it that's another question so how do you think this will affect the relations between russia and meet on the future and maybe the u.s. even well i think missile defense is an unnecessary kind of. provocation shall we say for russia as nato expansion has been in the past we've of

course reached out nato has reached out to russia to sit down to talk to have agreements but for the most part this has been seen by russia as just kind of superficial what i think russia wants is to be taken seriously in any kind of security discussions you know across your range or of course russia set up its own security discussions with central asian countries with china and so forth. i think that it would be useful for nato and the united states to say look we are now in negotiations with iran about its nuclear program let's continue know there's those negotiations expand those negotiations to address missile questions as well and deal with the missile issue that way in that spend so much money on missile defense which is of. dubious feasibility to begin with and start to address the range of issues that the united states and nato have with russia about a variety of different security threats which you know are serious and affect the

entire world whether we're talking about climate change or forking about non-state actors and terrorism and we're talking about nonproliferation these are serious issues that we have to be sitting down and talking about nato is an institution that has to find some kind of legitimacy twenty years after the end of the cold war it developed a kind of shall we say interim reason for being to go after rogue states so to speak to deal with the crisis in former yugoslavia more recently to deal with libya potentially to deal with syria but that really goes beyond what nato was designed to do which was collective security for europe specifically i personally think that the the recent summit was an attempt again i give a try to two years ago in lisbon to find some kind of rationale to keep nato going to keep

a reason for spending so much money on this alliance and i don't think they found one that seems very hard to find one thank you very much a say junk. shot four times. three of the boards are still. then people should be allowed to defend themselves were they own guns in the hands

of law abiding decent people are not a problem national rifle association was a group of basically retired military we love to shoot holes and i'm sorry if you know that the bullet comes out here and this makes it go bang and what's in front of here is going to die that's all the training you really really need raise your hand if you know something's been. ok place to live without one of the philadelphia owners over streets. in jail without a gun hopefully we will never have to use the weapons for self defense but we should be prepared in a full class including the teacher as a course. seventeen students as safety and one of seven or so.
