that dense that sarin gas was every used in syria when in fact that was the main problem is threatening that country with the strike so this whole idea that you guys can be grabbed later on after doing so much damage i just do not understand how you get to that. i think you're right to argue that there are certain consistencies in american foreign policy but in the premise of the question you're wrong because you know look at the way you framed american intervention in syria at the start you said look america obviously intervened it intervened by allowing other countries to intervene without stopping them so american non action is a form of intervention in american action is a form of intervention and the reason that american non action american action or both forms of intervention is because of the general presumption that the united states has a responsibility to be involved in every conflict everywhere in the world in the basic reality is the united states has relations with governments in every part of the world and having relations with governments in every part of the world the

united states is involved in every conflict in every part of the world in either through its actions or its in actions the united states is going to be blamed for the outcome so the question is ok what is the best policy for the united states to follow is it a policy of action in action or some combination of the two and calibrating that policy has been the challenge that american foreign policy makers have faced ever since the end of the second world war and that explains the consistency in american foreign policy now if we were to look at the current administration and see a radical break with that consistency the radical break might need to disown a responsibility for all these conflicts and there was a lot of concern when president trump was running as candidate trump that he might do that that he might retreat into an isolationist form of american foreign policy what we've seen is that as he's come into office he's accepted the inevitability of american engagement in virtually every part of the world and so president trump just like. every president before him sons the end of the second world war is

implicated in the same dilemma that either their action or their in action will be judged as causal for the events that follow and when the events are not good american action or inaction is always going to be laid to blame now since you mentioned president trump i heard your comments on the miller investigation and you seem to believe that the reason why it has unearthed so little in the way off the rack trump russia ties is because the at the russians he told the ns and i understand it's indeed challenging to find a black cat in a dark room but i would assume it would be even harder if the cat is not there i wonder if you even allow for the possibility that there is nothing nefarious. in terms of contacts with russia if in fact there were any contact so so i have a black dog and i can tell you that if if if i don't have a light on when i wake up in the middle of the night i almost invariably step on him so finding a black dog in a dark room doesn't turn out to be so challenging i think the situation that you

are posing is you know is there clear evidence of collusion between the trumpet ministration it and the russian government in the context of the campaign that's something that the more investigation is looking into there are obviously investigative journalists who have spent an awful lot of time looking into that that's not something that as an academic i spend an awful lot of time looking into but but what i can say is that the mower investigation is finding it increasingly evidence that there was impropriety on the part of certain actors associated with the trauma campaign which is why the more investigation has ended up laying indictments against specific actors that were involved in the trunk campaign whether it goes beyond that remains to be seen now are for anyone who is looking for evidence of collusion i would suggest they rate latest statement from the kremlin which said that president putin is actually open today meeting with president trump and not at. territory at but actually in washington after all those

expulsions of russian diplomats and the closure of the consulate in seattle following the this creep i like patients and this is actually for russians it's hearts you know process why would president putin be so our common dating and so friendly towards the president of the country that just expelled our diplomats how do you read it why do you think president putin is being such a softy with president trump one of the president putin is being a softy with anyone i'm you know my my sense is that president putin doesn't really do softy that much in that's because president putin has a serious and fairly consistent foreign policy and it's part of that serious and fairly consistent foreign policy his dialogue with the american administration successive american administrations to greater or lesser effectiveness in creating dialogue with the trumpet ministration is something that president putin has been determined to do and he's been determined to do that from the start of the administration we know this because of the connections that were made between the

diplomatic agents here and in the united states in the trump campaign as it merged into or formed a transition team and he's remained that open to communication sent to the trump administration started so am i surprised that he's willing to come to the united states to meet with the trump administration not so much to my surprise that he wants to meet with the trumpet ministration again not so much i think that their dialogue together is something that should be encouraged and should be fostered and i'm not surprised that they seek to do that you know whether that's going to resolve the underlying tension remains to be seen remember those norms that we believe both of us should be enforced we need to come up with a framework where they are enforced both by the united states on american actions and by the russian government on russian actual professor jones on this point if agreement i have to thank you for taking part in this in gauging conversation i also encourage our viewers to keep it going in our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here on all the parts.
