you have begun in the past eighteen months the pentagon started through troughs of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest fan for instance this march donald trump casually remarked that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bomb shell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become another serial like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon will come and i've heard rumors of people talking about the trial but it's not over what is the announcement this week changing anything in that sense nothing actually has changed fast forward next month trump says he wants to deploy the national guard on the mexican border well let's just say the pentagon didn't have too much fun when it had to take the rap for this we're going to be guarding our border with the military members who are involved this overall expanded operation so that will all be determined by the requirements that are given to us

first of all i don't have any specific details on what support we could provide but they will provide us with the requirements and then from that will determine how many and what's the mission and how many will deploy back in twenty seventeen trump went to france where he saw the iconic but still day parade wow that's nice why don't we have something like this you thought some reports suggested no one wanted the parade but trump well he had reluctantly worked on it in a hands off mode the due date is just over three months away now the event is reportedly in the early planning stages and it's still unclear who's going to foot the millions of dollars bill some orders trump is giving out of all places on twitter last year he first tweeted that the u.s. would not accept or allow dot dot dot nine low. minutes passed before he resumed.

does anyone else in this room have any intelligence coming out of the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the us military. or get rich in coffee this list of when trump pushed the pentagon right under the bus is nowhere near complete so with this space force initiative the u.s. military is well apparently struggling to get its hands back on the steering wheel he says i but he welcomes the advice from the likes of of medicine and pompei o. who are all considered your cabinet but he makes the ultimate decisions when it's time for a decision but when it comes to throwing out ideas that doesn't necessarily mean he's consulted with anybody he came up with the idea before consulting with anybody

he made it known publicly and then once he began to get really briefed on. the space force per se may not be the way to go although i don't think he's ruled it out entirely. a british man who worked as an inspector at an american military base in germany is suing the u.s. army david patterson and his colleagues who unknowingly exposed to a high concentration of the toxic substance cadmium with the u.s. army sending a warning letter only a year after the drop was finished now back in twenty seventeen he was overseeing the cleaning of contaminated equipment. a couple of minutes from head to should i was in this white powdery substance a bit like talking very fine very able and not laws we actually started cleaning these boxes. any training information. any any

knowledge of the danger or what we're actually doing with those boxes whatsoever and it's warning letter sent a year or two late the u.s. army said that skin and eye contact should be avoided and also recommended wearing special protective gear while standing near the contaminated boxes now one of the risks so was that the cadmium covering the equipment could become airborne and then of course be breathed in cadmium is a highly toxic substance that can cause cancer it affects the central nervous system and can cause kidney failure acute inhalation may even cause death on receiving the warning letter david patterson contacted the u.s. army the a reaction was one of the they are treating it as though it was a just not in a. dangerous dust the day before the inspector arrived from the journalists or it is they ripped out every case of the fifty cases then what they did they actually got all these fifty cases and then the policeman one era all the sudden the winds

the rain it was only three meters from a drainage system on the entire unions in germany have reportedly already raised the alarm over the working conditions of the u.s. military base urging their authority to take action however the army says the equipment was simply mishandled in june some equipment was cleaned incorrectly this was done by eight employees in one department we get the boxes civilians we work on the boxes we clean the quitman. i'm me get the believe that we are responsible for everything why the box is not locked dangerous i've been there no or was there working for the same company sixteen months until i don't lie most and asked until i demanded that we have some type of action on these boxes i was sacked from m. and e. global resources and i am taking them to court for

a legal sakhi and gross misconduct then we shall stalk about your ass eagle and the army we have requested comment from the us army and other firms involved in that contract fight so a man with down syndrome who was carrying a toy gun has been shot dead by swedish police so that's in the mix of your monday stories in just a moment. good

politicians to do something good. to put themselves on the laws. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure more somehow want to respond. to the right to be prosperous like that before asked three of them or can't be good for the. interest of all those in the waters of august. first six. thanks joining us here on the action movie star steven seagal has been appointed

the russian foreign ministry as a special representative on humanitarian ties between moscow and washington the move was met with criticism in the western media but here is mr seagal playing a concert in some vast crimea in two thousand and fourteen just months after the peninsula was an expired russia i maybe he's control of the case should all be free you. to be is steven seagal so much for the rational for. taking a closer look at the reaction to stephen said goals new role you know steven seagal from the action packed films he both played in and directed but he'll soon have a very different role to play the russian foreign ministry is named him special representative on the u.s. russia humanitarian ties i've always had a very strong desire to do all i can to help improve russian american relations i have worked tirelessly in this direction for many years on officially and i am now very grateful for the opportunity to do the same thing officially to go over sieved

russian citizenship back in two thousand and sixteen when vladimir putin himself sets a goal up with a russian passport since then he's participated in everything from charity concerts to martial arts competitions in order to bring the u.s. and russia closer together and with relations between both countries at an all time low one might think anything to help the situation should be a breath of fresh air but that sentiment hasn't made much headway in the mainstream media and the hysteria hasn't stopped there the former u.s. ambassador to russia even. took to twitter slamming signals appointment as an apparently desperate move strange though a celebrity from the west saying something positive about russia the whole story seems awfully familiar.

western stars are committing what has already become and on forgivable sin associating with russia but despite all the criticism it's put them under many people are questioning why it should negatively impact one's profession donald corridor r t. three swedish police officers are reportedly under investigation after the shooting and who was carrying a toy gun installed eric to rail was taken to hospital but died shortly after from his injuries the twenty year old suffered from down syndrome or to sit according to his parents he had the mental capacity of a three year old and had strong difficulty speaking. three policemen arrived after an ocean of cold reportedly from the neighbors who sold to rail with a toy gun and mistook it for a real one they ordered him to discard what they believed to be a dangerous weapon after he failed to comply officers judge the situation is

threatening and started shooting the mother of the victim has been left in shock calling her son the world's most loving person. have you get over on them chetry or to yes i waved good bye to him as he was driven off an event especially dappy for people with disabilities which he uses a few hours later someone was knocking on the front door into police officers appeared a long time they told me he'd been shot dead by three police officers out on the street that i was totally devastated i couldn't comprehend that he was two i still cannot believe it is true. that he was twenty years old and die because three police officers bitterly shot him right in the stomach all three of them meanwhile in order to prevent such fatal mistake so that's where dish toy and baby association has issued a statement will make a simple recommendation to the industry remove all toy weapons that are easy to

confuse with real weapons in light of the latest tragic event it seems that some toy products are so easy to confuse with the real thing that even the police can't tell the difference with devastating consequences earlier we spoke to youth activist ken hynes he says it's just not feasible to ban children from playing with toy guns and that only better police training can prevent the tragedy. i think if you try if you badly toy guns that look like real guns young people and other un scrupulous people will still be able to make those guns look real simply because young people will always try to look what they call cool by doing something that maybe to have not perceived to be dangerous if we want to do something we've got to look at the type of training these police officers undertake i wasn't there i don't know the full

circumstances but what i do know a young man has lost his life the likely outcome the police will be find that it was justified their and their actions i don't think that they will farai that anything regarding their procedure was wrong what they have to look on is their policy iran vulnerable people weapon a man or women lessers can be learned and must be learned from such tragedy so that we can avoid other similar types atrocity happen in. the museum dedicated to news is making headlines itself after selling fake news t. shirts as souvenirs they were removed the merchandise after a backlash. you

enemy of the people. it's iraq onic it's just sad the media talk about freedom of the press they trash donald trump they say freedom of the press is what this country is built on it's what the microsleep is built on and now they don't like these t. shirts and they register their disapproval and they pressure this news siham into polling it and ate a fact what they're doing is they're traveling on the very freedom of speech that they claim to champion if what's going on in this country is any indication you're allowed all the freedom of speech you want if you're on the laptop but if you're on the right it seems like freedom of speech when it comes to the right is getting trampled upon on in one way or another you know top stories here on the international on this monday we have plenty more for you in about half an hour's time to see you then.

it is a. secret indeed priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot where the previous standard was not known highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that is as old as the eye and then i include that it used.

to spend. a lot. of. class time we changed. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. they just stepped right for. me. i like it. i don't know.

because. i want. make break. for now. you know world big partisan movie. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

game this national camera. roughly once the show and some look for them. uncool videos and so on with the roughly stirring up. down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . hello and welcome to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle on this edition of crossfire as we discuss whether detente is possible even desirable why isn't it a good idea to get along with russia and much much more. cross

talking detente i'm joined by my guest here in moscow eric cry. he's an independent political risk analyst also we have to be a bitch he's a political analyst with international and in cyprus we have our exclusive for oh he's the director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated let me go to alex first in cyprus we have a new phrase that's popped up in the last latest news cycle and that's criminalizing diplomacy and and esteemed expert probably the greatest living expert on russia in the western world stephen cohen was on c.n.n. with well someone with a very dubious road record when it comes to foreign policy mr max boot before i go to you alex let's have a watch at this clip i've been studying russia for forty five years i've lived in russia and i've lived here and you're going to washington was it all actually for us and we would want our viewers sure hasn't right. excuse me what did you say to

me i said you've been consistent apologise to russia in those last forty five years . i don't do defamation of people i do serious analysis of serious national security problems when people like you call people more like me and not only me but people more eminently apologists for russia because we don't agree with your analysis you are criminalizing diplomacy ok alex criminalizing diplomacy i think it really hits the nail on the head here because any kind of rational thought about what kind of foreign policy or bilateral relationship russia in the united states should have is called into question by people like max boot that gets a lot of air time for reasons that there is a mystery to me go ahead alex. yeah i find it strange that max boot is calling stephen cohen a put in apologist i'd like to call max boot a war machine apologist he's an apologist for the military industrial complex he's

an apologist for war criminals has this guy gotten anything right ever in his career he pushed iraq he was wrong he pushed libya he was wrong he pushed syria he was wrong he pushed you krane he was wrong it's absolutely amazing that the the if this guy any air time whatsoever and we can remember i think was three or four of us back to remember that tucker carlson had max boot on show and tucker carlson crush dollar he crushed him and he showed what an idiot max would match who is an apologist for stupid people around the world but he's very popular ok because he says the right things to the right people well. stephen cohen also has to explain to my example of that the so-called russian madelyne it's not perfect. well i think you know i was very impressed when several u.s. senators and other prominent politicians when they compared two thousand and

sixteen election and they alleged russian made them into a part of harbor a lot of the people just ruled hey you know my father survived but he's so what it was police you know stop doing that you know these kind of comparisons are insulting to america in the first not only is that we have a new call for sanctions coming out of the u.s. senate now i they're on they're on vacation right now they're on leave so i don't think they're going to act upon it but it is it's really just virtuous signaling ok and i think what you continue to see this in two minutes is one ups ship basically there is a large part of the american political establishment which is desperate to find something to be. trump with and that is the russian card and nobody loses points for beating up on russia now that the fact that this goes against american fundamental diplomatic and geopolitical interests which you really to avoid

creating a coalition with between russia and china isn't their problem their problem right now is to score quick political gain yes alex let me go back to you in cyprus quick political game and of course they're getting it but the implications in the long term are are fundamental because i think now it's a generational thing i mean why in the world with russia want to have better relations with the united states it doesn't have much trade ok the issues that there are there's a bring them together russia co holds most of the cards here and you have a political establish in the united states that is at war with itself so i mean detente is possible but the americans and the foreign policy blob assume that russia wants that i don't think that's the case go ahead alex and how can you have detente when just the other day you had this bizarre white house press briefing there were all the guys were there you had christopher rah you had coats you have bolton and once again they're pushing out the narrative of russia election

involvement keep in mind they're not saying meddling anymore they're not saying interference now it's involvement and of course no one is defining what the hell this is they're just sitting there and they're getting to get this is tribes deep state these are the guys are going to trump administration or the deep state and they're pushing this narrative and they're scapegoating russia because if the democrats lose it's going to be russia exactly it's going to be russia's fault so russia is the ultimate scapegoat you know it's the paranoia of not knowing what you don't know there's going to be some meddling but how when where are the assumption that it's going to be a reminder that the election has not yet happened and it's going to be in november going to solve them. but then of course is already saying the head of the national intelligence director saying that there is evidence about russian involvement and we have lindsey graham who has just advised president trump to check the so-called

ball that putin gave him and house and get to check it for k.g.b. bugs we have this very same person elaborating with other senators this new draft of all which is called if i'm not mistaken or the translation protecting american security of from the kremlin sic ration books thousand and eighteen so these guys they can for see the future they can see how russia is mad and interested in a different line here you know this reminds me it's kind of a bad episode of the twilight zone ok this is the other fortunately have to take it seriously you are talking about what is russia one from the united states russia wants to be left alone it has its own problems russia is still undergoing a major restructuring and the americans have managed to weaponize finance they can cause a lot of damage by blocking people from the international financial system they block them from the dollar system first but then the european banks are all running

scared of the u.s. treasury so they can do substantial damage and yes the political dialogue put it here in washington has become a done for thirty years that means there's the assumption that somehow of your some circumstances russia is going to buckle when that is a wrong assumption russia is most certainly not going to buckle and russia has survived very well everything they've thrown at it for the simple reason that russia has a very conservative fiscal and monetary policy the central bank has done an excellent job of insulating russia from the sharks but it's still very incomplete. this draft all has not yet been published but the answer graham has already and that's why i think when they they proposed that they went on recess they have no intention right now of denying it. it is part of the chorus yes the background go ahead but the things that we know about that are already very very sinister not only for russians any of our own who is suspected of influencing their american

elections can be barred from entering the country maybe even then we can see just as i did really get alexander. we got to the punch line before me is that mean the f.b.i. and the cia and all the rest of them are going to get the end of the israelis always have an influence in american politics but the interesting thing is is that they're not addressing the real meddling in the two thousand and sixteen election and that isn't the d.o.j. in the f.b.i. i'm alex and the corporate media don't forget. yeah the d.o.j. of the f.b.i. and let's not forget the real election battling was also against bernie sanders and it was hillary clinton and the d.n.c. that ripped of bernie sanders from winning winning the democratic nomination and the bill that they're proposing right now is very sinister indeed they're even asking my secretary of state to examine placing russia on the state list of terrorist sponsors that's how hysterical this feeling is becoming out of grand

stated here i mean well and i don't expect here but do you know putting russia on the list of state sponsors of terror that is that's a little bit more than grandstanding ok and eric in i'm going to be here it's hard to walk these things perhaps my question eric earlier is this isn't working under the assumption that russia is going to surrender that is a wrong assumption well it works on a lot of assumptions for example it's not just to penalize russia for the production and use of chemical weapons you know who used chemical weapons ok there is that duma thing you know where people who were shown on the video by the by accountants to be victims of a chemical attack later on these people they all say and the live address the press conference in the cake and told how these fake. we don't want to make that actually continue what you just said happen but it's not only our t. and a few other outlets reported the backstory to this this false flag operation all

the others concentrated on the who paid for these people to come from damascus to the cake well these people are only that you show to the whole world you said they were victims of a chemical attack why don't you want to listen to them but i really have to really get a really good alex we're going to go back to cyprus here one more minute before we go to the break here so it looks like russia russia russia is this going to be continued all the way to the midterms or in lieu of the mule the report go ahead alex yeah i think even when the mueller report is is finalized and i think we are coming to an end it's very apparent that the whole russia thing is just going to last until probably until trouble either wins reelection or that's going to go on for another four years or until they get rid of trouble because if the russia thing is not dying down you can see it in the white house press briefing they're going to scapegoat russia for everything but the most important point.
