again he believes in the military that's his in and he's very straightforward about it that's what makes him slightly different than his cohort go ahead oh well i just laughed he has a cold. all international waltz i'm into this terms to constrain american paul and of course i mean he was the you have all the reason to be connected to the united nations i mean if anyone could explain to me the difference between new conservatives and the neo liberals i mean does it make any difference for a person in afghanistan or in iraq or if he's killed by a missile that missile came from someone could just believes in american power or it came from hillary clinton who believes in american power to service all of universal libral well yes ok we're going to defrost neo liberals an economic policy it has nothing to do with foreign policy ok well i believe if you mean us that specifically i mean we have trump making an overture to meeting the north korean leader bolton is going to advise him against that and i mean is this could be the

first test but i think when we started talking about this meeting proposed meeting between term. and. german we said one of the things we said was that the meeting may not even take place it may be a rhetorical exercise. for various political purposes and when we talk about bolton tampa well the word on the scene we have lengthened with least one issue in that's the issue of dealing with iran and bolton and. have been very aggressive because syria iran openly advocated attacks on iran military aggression against iran months ago he said it wouldn't be it would not be illegal under international law restrike against north korea in fact what separated tillerson macmaster from the rest of. the military and security team was that tillerson have to actually believed that getting the u.s. he knew and he left it. with that old nuclear deal with iran will tear it to the

american diplomacy in the long run because who would trust american diplomacy if when your station could just reach that signal and then the very possibility in any kind of deal with north korea is off the table because if you make an agreement and you break it you break exactly you're not going to be yes your word is going to be trusted here mark. trump is never i mean from what we've seen of him during the campaign and his presidency he never allowed us anyone to outshine him is bolton's ego too big to fit into this position does he want to be a kissinger or brzezinski and certainly he does have an ego. but i think we actually present more of his ego he presents a larger than life figure for us then he does he knows his place he is a bureaucrat he doesn't know his place he knows when to kiss who's but in order to get to literally speed at his very has a history of night on agree that he's not a neo con i don't think the neo cons have ever believed in democracy or promotion

that was simply too much of a you. know what that's why i don't call him in the oh come because the neo cons have their propaganda spin he doesn't have any pretense of that i think. he supposedly promised drop by the c.n.n. is reporting. that he wouldn't start any new wars i mean obama has already got nine of them to go into the bombing nine countries at least so i mean trump already inherited that but i find that extremely hard because in and of maison i don't do i don't see the color guys don't start a war of you know really upset george bush sr you know team a he's known you know texas he's obviously through his career he has contempt for diplomacy and i've been saying this all along it's part of the genetic code of foreign policy right now is that you just needed to ministry bottom you don't need to have a diplomat and the kind of options that bolton is going to be giving trump. i have to believe it's going to be reflect. his entire outlook on the world and

it's a what would i think political call him you know he's a hammer in search of nails absolutely well are just picture this situation walton enters the room the negotiating room of donald trump and kim jong un and he says to kim jong un i'm the person who just suggested killing your board in your blog don't pay attention to that we're going to have a nice conversation here but you know the problem is whatever you call it liberal interventionism you know conservatism the bad thing about this ideology is that it doesn't value in any way the lives of the people who don't agree with it you know just recently it is. because the. marketplace thirty seven people you know the. classical explosion there was almost no reaction from the western media will remember how sorry you know what was was bored by the by the by the sort of military forces and you know all the hysteria about marketplaces you know been destroyed you know borders littering the for these markets the same thing happened

in damascus and no one paid attention from the rebels from the refugees. from the syrians been brought up here. and i think that the in many ways is that there's some kind of. ambiguity in this one from white house about syria you think that's going to get much more focused right now that you know bolton is going to be you know pull the cia back in officially and other thing works to the new national security team in the bush years in common is their common approach to iran and of course that is going to be part of what happens this year that because russia and iran are allies in their fight to stabilize syria to remove a tickle islamist elements from syria and the united states will do the most to keep those elements in as long as possible there was a an interesting. so now this is an open one a public one done in the us

a couple months ago which stated that the so-called moderate opposition has about a year to go so if the united states and its allies are able to. put more energy into them more funds and so forth maybe a year maybe a year and a half more so they will try to use that time to destabilize here as much as possible with those resources that they still have left now one should come on to the comparison between john bolton and kissinger and kerry kissinger and resist where known as foreign policy intellectuals john bolton is surely not he is a hard line diplomat. who like so it was. i don't know if you know i don't want is. a rapidly running out and i simply said. with him but that he is a hard line military you stick with a aggressive diplomat who is not an academic the way that a lot of the stones were. only when kennedy made khrushchev kennedy's response was

negotiate what's mine is mine what's yours is negotiable mark i want to go to you because you brought this up a number of times since the election we have the u.s. state department putting pressure on the europeans pretty germany for the. north stream to pipeline now we have the deal. the europeans were being pressured to change and now it looks like the with america is going to walk away from a complete completely why would the europeans want to be involved in the i mean this is the two example i just read the still pushing the division is growing and growing the europeans don't like it i mean they don't like his treatment of the u.n. international law anything they're so this is actually already you know the end of these grow but i don't think that concerns the u.s. the u.s. you know this this new triumvirate of bloody geno and pompei of the volcano will be handling the. just start it well i think he's on his way to me kelly is going to

nickname i think they're on their way out there to sane and moderate on military matters it may take six months but i think they're both gone so i iran iran iran this is what bolton will push he it in a celebration of the terrorist former terrorist group now recycled by the us they've removed their terrorist designation the m.e. came mujahedin e khalq next part of the program i want to ask you is this also wedge against russia using the rand is a part of the equation that's part of the equation and certainly a huge suit russia simply exist resisting the united states in syria bolton is a is a cold of american supremacies exceptionalism he cannot tolerate that some democrats have suggested that bolton is too soft on russia for them which is a is it maybe i'm a pretty amazing but never met a in an exercise of u.s. military power or in power that he's in a he doesn't like hold up thought gentlemen we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion to the war

party staying with are. fundamentally the united states and russia are have been for decades to scorpions in a bottle each capable of destroying the other but only at the price of being destroyed itself. putin said well these weapons will overcome u.s. missile defenses u.s. missile defenses were totally ineffective against russian forces already so they'll be more effective against russian forces. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry funny i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now reduced to or don't like is there no radio visitation no i don't no one comes in to them or we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you do the charge on much they're actually pretty enough to put it back into the good the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sandbridge what she could is behind such success. at the plate for many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the

ball isn't only about what's. oftens on the beach for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of billionaire owners and spending two to twenty million one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else going to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game was great so will more chance with. the case it's going to take. time about email but of the entire time i need them i get enough of them but then again. and again and i mean buying them my money and i know god. walk through me that i paid. millions of families to do a damn thing you know the whole disadvantaging question so if you want. to ban

a new movie by the natural again that be may as well soon get a life saving to get a. patient a full ten fold hopefully we can feel cool by using tolls oh wow. welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news.

ok mike i want to go back to right before i went to the break you were talking about bolton iran and regime change go ahead the mujahideen eco is it is a terrorist group it was formerly formerly designated by the united states is a terrorist group it targets iran they have extremely extremist views they were sheltered in iraq then the u.s. took them under its wing after its invasion occupation of rock iraq and rehabilitated them and now they openly hold meetings they've got a million dollar war chest the lobby in washington's and john bolton is one of their savor it advocates he recently spoke at a gathering of the enemy in the united states and he promised two things first he wanted to make sure that the government the iranian government that was put in place during the islamic revolution doesn't reach its fortieth birthday and also he promised them that we will celebrate two thousand and nineteen meaning him and

these terrorists in tehran which you know like like some kind of conqueror i guess you know this is this pattern of regime change i still have said it so many times so many years it's the genic genetic code of american foreign policy and doesn't matter who is in office but with bolton you get it if he doesn't hold any punches here picture you know united states is already chosen decided who will be ruling iran by the end of next year. amazing bolton's expectations are my only of a piece from robert gates memoirs where he talks about having one victory parade on the red square in one thousand nine hundred one. not to come to. the national security adviser to which was. done likely just a few years ago but. government is going to be chosen by people just like before

and not by the hawks in washington d.c. let's change gears here de mille it's like about what's going on in the u.k. we have with this alleged poisoning incident i would still like to see some kind of public evidence made to the public so we could start drawing some real such a policy because i really believe that you know you die or even more hype hundred years of western europe jurisprudence ok you're innocent until proven guilty but that is different it's always different but russia of course it's your top. spectacles. and you know the u.k. because of that accident agent his name is highly likely you know like highly likely that was a great fall and the problem is that the e.u. believes that too because if we read the statement taken two days ago it is. the union agrees with the u.k. government excess meant that it's highly likely that the russian federation is

responsible and that there is no hope where there is no possible loss explanation we saw we stepped in and qualify it so it did it with the u.k. no plausible alternative explanation even the holy inquisition would want to give you know it's you know i have to wonder then with this conference of your european union leaders where they presented with evidence to come up with that kind of language look i doubt it you know our world perception is you know it's him and with the four b. . interaction massive campaign in the western media with the information being flooded with into russian memes and information this state of response is to be expected because we're now you don't have to present any evidence whatsoever to have a conclusion that russia is possible for anything and that is the great danger in this that anything could happen tomorrow the next doing so not all the president of

the british and they make it's going to orchestrate money i think and then blame russia for you know i'm not. here you know. crazy idea came into my ear is to rescue me using this to avoid breads regs that sure there's i think there is a whole host of of domestic uses whether that is the actual reason that this has occurred or whether she simply using onto the scene she's distracting from bragg's it's not going well the country half the country never wanted it and the negotiations are going well for her plus four more dangerous because of all of this you have this leftist labor leader who has resisted all attempts by new labour's elite to to overthrow him who would dramatically shift the united kingdom's foreign and possibly much of its domestic policy as well and this seems tailor made we have seen the propaganda photo shops from from the the british propaganda corporate i mean british broadcasting corporation. in order to defame. jeremy

corbyn and present him as some kind of russian agent or he's not a tells me and i want to say this to all of you is that this is desperation this is a mode of desperation no evidence is provided there is no interest in finding the truth because the truth has already been established because what russia did it here i mean this is shows a level of desperation of the political elites that they will grab on to anything good but the victim of this desperation is. their relationship between russia and europe and russia and the rest of the west because we are seeing the idea more than a dozen countries is our country pleating explained gresham diplomats next week in the united states the national security council has presented its recommendations to a dog about expelling dozens of russian diplomats from washington d.c. and of course if that happens this monday. tell you.

about your intelligence agents in moscow you're in for an iou you know in russia a lot of people had this perception that the united states is bad it makes you want to behave badly towards russia well this we cut short the e.u. is bad enough when it's all they can do it and let me tell you you know from history all the disasters things that europe that did were done collectively look the napoleonic wars to invasions of russia. or was this to its greatest they were all done collectively so when they say you know that we need a strong collective action or peace there to remind me of that what pages in european history court inquisition was done collectively to look at the e.u. of course please part of getting them all together getting the european powers together and forcing them to make decisions that they're frequently not the international mediators sanctions for of course if we talk about specific european

countries a number of european countries are not interested in worsening deletions with the russians are not interested in individual distinctions or you know when push comes to shove. how many how many countries would you because of course for example i mean easiest one maybe five or six but it's not nearly as much just like when a section just like i said at last that difference is not being real and you've seen a lot of statements micron evidently initially resisted this whole thing saying that there had to be added. and then turned around the next day with the screws here's where the hymn bone for the german foreign minister you know is on record saying that this is a bilateral issue it's not an easy you issue it's something for britain and russia to ruling out because it is easier to be exiting the e.u. jem i want to talk about a very important topic here we have a massive budget passed and signed into law in the united states a huge military budget here. they make what is this the mantra is that obama

degraded the military i'm sure all those countries that were bombed by the united states would agree with that statement here but now this is going to be a mouse to build up as usual the pentagon doesn't usually spend very well but it's important at the same time because our viewers should know is that russia has decided over the next five years to decrease military spending well russia is. going to get that frankly russia understands that it does not need to keep on a military presence around the world in dozens and dozens of countries like the united states does russia does not have. world i mean the or being the single superpower. russia has no such more chips so it doesn't have to unlike the united states it doesn't have to spend. dollars and billions of. debt. yes so russia and their stance that it has to give a semantical answers to. the american threats to it that is what it does it doesn't

even says a good often yes it a lot of ways this is simply because russia does have very limited geopolitical horizons and uses for its military it's primarily defensive with some a limited role for the interventions like we've seen russia in defense of the syrian government in syria putin set out a program and the russian defense minister should we go. set out a program of modernization and that modernization has largely been achieved now that it has been achieved russia has the luxury to sit back and say we've met our purposes we can sit back and put some more on the mest expanding and we'll reduce military spending down to three percent of g.d.p. so continuing the reform girls it's just a few figures here right now right now russia spending one is defense in excess of five percent of the g.d.p.

and all of them came to this for the presidency agreed that it was too much you know we need to cut it and when did putin decide to cut it after we got the capacity to hit the united states well by i mean he sells three or four would be enough you know because russia doesn't want to invade that you want it works to dissuade could have just isn't right i don't want to have own arms right has a right after russia got the capacity to neutralize the. military government executives to or rather to return it's like you know a cold war saying mania maybe minneapolis so what we're not going to keep going to see just two or three would be enough because we are not going to keep them we don't want to keep them we want security and ought not diminish and forty seconds. i think that what this in the case first of all it's being read as russia trying to step back from an arms race again like i said i think this is already been planned

russia never really wanted in an arms race it has been pushed to this now that it has recovered its strategic deterrent it sees the strategic balance returned with american a mystic a ballistic missile defense at least for the time being having neutralized russia is confident it can return the priorities the biggest priority that putin laid out is education science and technology russia wants to avoid it arms race because it doesn't want to be outspent so why get into a competition where you can't win. russia is not in a competition with the united states russia is simply trying to provide security for its citizens and to take away opportunities for the united states to a ticket without their use but all the great powers are in competition so i get on the phone to get on the plane to read out of the many thanks my guest here in moscow this is the universe broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember a cross talk. about

your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each other. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to view those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like him it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this way to. speak to us there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its

maker. time by email but of the in charge of a medieval want to get it done but then again. and again the. money i know god. will walk me to the. in fact you have to deal with that to. make those changes have images chrysis or feel. any guilt about the natural good of the me i thought seemed to be i could say because the. patient is. not seeing it and think. oh wow.

how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we do this do or don't like is there nobody oh visitation they don't no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you do the chores or not there are actually paying us to put it back in very good the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us embassy to what secret is behind such success. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then.
