no control of his foreign military policy the day after the assassination and terrorist bombing the u.s. envoy to ukraine volker announced that the u.s. was ready to send more military aid clearly sending a signal of approval for this assassination and that the ukrainian regime should continue in this you know manner of assassinating you know its own citizen its opponents our condolences to his wife his widowed wife and four sons that he leaves behind the people of done boss and all the people of ukraine because they have lost a truly competent and respected game if this is just created a greater divide if that could even be possible here kili killing a very popular leader right gentlemen on this note here i have to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real mistake with our.

the be . the end. when all chose seemed wrong why don't we all just don't know all. the world yet to shape our is the consequence of the been engaged when it was betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten dollars timestamp and. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to be held for bridge the point six percent market so thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first and when rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one so do you know for a minute the one and only.

welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok i'd like to go back to alex and athens let's shift gears and talk about syria looking through the pages of the washington post not because i like reading it because i have to for this program we have david ignatius writing about syria and he when he's quoting an administration official i suppose we could all play a little game of what is i think i know who it is the official said to ignatius right now our job is to help create quagmires parentheses for russia and the syrian regime and parentally until we get what we want well that's really straightforward it is clear that the thing much to do with diplomacy whatsoever it's making sure that the conflict the international proxy war that is being played out in syria

that is coming down and winding down because of the efforts of syria and its allies including russia it shows the true intentions of the real true colors of the of the the deep state at least in their approach to see. go ahead alex yeah it's a disgusting statement but it's not very surprising either. i think the worst kept secret right now peter is that there is going to be some sort of chemical attack it is sponsored by the white helmets al qaeda isis but obviously no one is reporting on this either no matter how much the alternative media yeah but us here are screaming about what's going on the russian ministry of defense everyone is talking about the delicate situation it in that the warships moving in the u.s. warships moving in the statements from the u.k. from the u.s. from france that they will attack syria if there is a chemical weapons attack it's made it it's so polygyny at what's going on right now they just cannot let it go they cannot accept that assad has what the war is

about to win the war they can accept and you know you know mark again. it's not my passion to read the washington post and it isn't my passion to watch c.n.n. and this n.b.c. or the b.b.c. there's hardly a word about this but as i once for some for a pointed out in the alternative media this is one of the biggest hottest topics out there in the mainstream it's invisible well i mean just look at the title of the nation's article how to start syria's bloody fight first of all it's not the final showdown because the syrian government still has the turkish and in american invasions and in eastern north syria to deal with but you say how to stop the wounds and then you talk about creating as many quagmires i.e. bloody conflicts as possible right until they get the regime change that they want and the article he goes on there talking about us how is it enduring interests in syria beyond killing islamic state terrorists no you don't you have no militias yet

a bit dangerous he knew hearing what those if those interests were i mean i mean this is again this is the people like john bolton the. i want to kill as many birds with one stone as possible certainly doesn't want a stable syria under the leadership of assad would love to give the russians a bloody nose and to force you ran out of syria but none of those things are going to happen well i like the way. they told us once a dominant position even forced to want to go sheesh and that's why the us keep sworn in damascus not to take the leap because it was the last stronghold of the swimmers so look iraq iraq you will believe. who wrote an article for them iraq is now probably iranian we saw it and moved to it you know via the proxy allies in iraq because

a lot of the russian aviation through its territory in two thousand and fifteen when russia find that it got involved in fighting the terrorists in syria so where did all the money go you know so much money to buy and reform in iraq so many people killed and they didn't want to show you can get it out because diem of which brings up an excellent point here we there are reports that iran is moving certain types of missiles with the permission into iraq with the permission of the iraqi government obviously but you know if we could tie that into the policy that is being announced. indirectly through the washington post as we are still learning curve would not be. the whole point of going into iraq was to limit the rainy and influence in the region ok now we have i mean it's the same people making the same bad decisions and it always ends badly but nobody loses their job no one

loses their job at the washington post go ahead out. lose their child they get promoted peter some of them are sitting right next to trump and they have trump's ear when it comes to foreign policy they may be even running the far. sea of trump and i'm you know it goes back i mean how can we not forget george bush mission accomplished in iraq and now you see what's happening today with iraq today with syria and we're hearing the war drums now with the run the same thing over and over rinse and repeat and now the target is iran so all this news coming out about iran whether it's missiles to iraq whether it's anything else it's all about to quote to the deceased john mccain bob bob iran this is where we're heading war with iran the idea of the geopolitical idiocy of this and the culturally to see is just amazing you invade and regime change iraq remove saddam hussein and you get

a shia majority democratic iraq that makes allies with iran and invites them to bring missiles into its own country why not the u.s. has missiles all over the world this short range ballistic missile and iraq was easier to just rip sovereignty back by him by his coalition of the willing and you know these missiles are you know are short range of two hundred to seven hundred kilometers they're just enough to hit riyadh. tel of eve and the u.s. military bases in qatar and elsewhere in the middle east if the u.s. launches an attack on iran and that's exactly what they're there for as a as a backup measure and why should an iraqi allow their own lies with iran and they you know they're complaining though about iranians in syria where there weren't any iranians in the city have afforded cillian for one half the jihadi is in the world to try to overthrow the syrian government now the iranians are in syria invited legally by the syrian who would have it you don't get to decide who syrians ally

who would have been just a few short years ago i mean the the israelis worried about iranians on the illegally occupied golan ok that wasn't even conceivable a few years ago now that's one of their major concerns. come on i mean it's really remarkable every time they go after iran in one form or another it ends in failure for them and by default it increases the influence of iran has actually had it actually invest a few very few resources to expand its influence on the west does it for i think the neo cons in the us government should be addicted for treason for help spreading iranian influence across the middle east and it's true just a few years ago or including golan heights that was acquired back quartette tourists were taken there from jerusalem because it was so safe you know no one could imagine and your real immediate reaction there but also look at what happened in general these. after they had their operation in syria they

didn't told paul and slightly dissident syrian regime which was not really anti west and also the syrian economy to the e.u. you know he was trying to be friends when he was a darling of a lot of the older world reformer yes so they they didn't top all of that regime which was not trade in any way what they all lost that much more important ally that was turkey which is now a real dissident inside nato you know and the relations are very bad between washington and uncorrupt so they mess it up every time they want to make it better ok and you know in the united states u.s. treasury has done remarkable things for the turkish lira let me go back to alexander i want to go back to this quote here right now it is our job to help create quagmires until we get what we want that's really remarkable because usually when there is the regime change mantra is that we want regime change and then you deploy some kind of military arsenal or army planes in this time reverse we've got

there on the ground now and there is certain search of a mission quagmires that is plural ok miss gypped go ahead. in search of a mission and until they get what they want it reminds me of exactly what's happening inside the u.s. the same people that are upset that trump won and hillary laws and they're they're going through the motions until they get what they want this is the same story they just cannot handle when things don't go their way even though the policies that they set forth where this domestic or foreign are just more rhotic i mean they're idiotic and they never get they never move the way they want them to move and now just like you see in the u.s. they're trying to remove troops they're trying to find find the crime that he did every bill till they get what they want the same thing for syria until they get what they want just that set or not it's brilliant and i just this week at the same time we were presented with a perfect example of such

a quagmire the russian ministry of defense that announced that it had stopped a terrorist attack on pow myra. they captured two of the people responsible these militants openly admitted there an f.s.a. affiliated they were planning bombings and power myra of the lions of the desert they say they were trained by the us at the top of the us occupied military base in south syria they were trained armed and salary there to provide terrorist attacks within syria itself the type of quagmire that wasn't talked about i didn't read that in the washington post mark where i actually was in routers but it was a man made in reuters or you know you don't even i tend to think that people and. in the mainstream media and in the deep state the they've forgotten the fear i mean i guess i'm the oldest one here of nuclear nucular conflict well i mean but they

now they want to go toe to toe and it seems to me that they really want to give russia a bloody nose in syria and this is one of the things they can't let go how are they they want to give russia blood you know to. so many places. not only in syria not only in ukraine you know just recently the canadian prime minister announced that he would increase that canadian contingent in law of all the polices by one hundred man why because russia it's all dangerous and they want to give russia a bloody nose there in the baltics that's been front of what is going on right but i think i understand group put it in the best possible way here is a quote from him sanctioning the wall of the us and the divergent lee create multiple routes yeah and of course the net that summarizes what mark has just said and probably all of these people who plan sanctions you know who organize attacks or insurgency so i can see where they should be given medals by future historians for. promoting markopolos in beirut and using the dollars of political weapon is

destroying the value of the dollars and the trust people have in the dollar and again the law of unintended consequences gentlemen to jump in here many thanks and i guess here in moscow and in athens this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for our extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember.

from sweden. a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed black man in oklahoma in the united states is now teaching officers how to deal with anti police groups the initiative sparked protests and the petition to ban the course officer betty shelby came to public attention in twenty sixteen after she was tried for shooting terence while on patrol she was later acquitted of first degree manslaughter she's now launched a course called surviving the aftermath of a critical incident and it's for officers accused of shooting an unarmed suspect a warning that the video we're about should show you does contain disturbing images now in shelby's case she was among several officers who confronted terence crusher when they discovered his broken down car in the middle of a road she says the croucher failed to respond to her request to raise his hands one officer used a taser while shelby shocked roger hitting him in the lung she claims that in the months following that incident she received death threats and was victimized by police groups this inspired her to help us. officers facing similar accusations but

terence question sister thinks that the course only teaches police how to get away with murder. the sheriff in the leadership of tulsa should really be ashamed of themselves to allow. the officer who killed my brother who had his hands in the air who didn't have the weapon he was on aren't to have this after teach other martin force in our pursuits after such a controversy or verdict we feel again that he got away with murder and we feel that the title was how to get away with murder and it's wrong law enforcement should focus on our quest to step through then what's going on are all over the united states of america and that the killing of unarmed black men is all deescalating or deescalation course courses are necessary you don't need

a class on how to survive the aftermath you're soon to serve and protect us you're sworn to remain calm you're sworn to make sure that you treat everybody equal under the color of law are despite the protest the tulsa county sheriff's office did not cancel the class they said it wasn't related to the shooting itself but rather to the potential consequences arriving from any similar incident and here's why officer shelby thinks the course is necessary i faced many challenges that i was unprepared for such as threats to my life by activist groups to loss of pay my costs is to help others by sharing some of the skills i used to cope with the stress of my critical incident for our office to to shelby. play the victim in to say that she's being bullied and tormented by the media and activist groups and groups who are simply voicing their concerns

groups who are fighting for justice for the killing of unarmed men by law enforcement groups who have experienced loss and pain in for her. to turn this around in make this about herself my family is grieving parents the children will never have their father around is antithetical to the oath that she took as a police officer police in oklahoma have attracted negative headlines before the statistics show that african-americans can be up to five times more likely to be subjected to forceful policing than any other ethnic minority that mark lewis founder of the activist platform we the people oklahoma says officers racially profile african-americans claims the police tonight. this is a smack in the face of the african-american community here and also why is it that they are parading a person around the state and saying that she.
