he is the commander in chief, and he has a right and the duty to implement his policy. and what we're getting is that the venting is explicitly just ignoring the instructions from the commander in chief. so we get in afghanistan in which the united states has actually signed an agreement with the taliban, committing itself to withdrawing by early next year. and the pentagon decide whether or not that i'm not going to implement this policy. they're going to condition it on what the military regards as the situation on the ground. even though there's nothing in the agreement with the taliban in which the departure of the americans is condition on the situation on the ground. the only the situation that the united states deem as a deal breaker is if the taliban is attacking u.s.

forces, or if the taliban is cooperating with isis or ok, there is no evidence that started on is doing any of that. but nonetheless, the military is ignoring the president and the same thing is happening in syria where we learned the other day from jim jeffrey, who was the trumpet ministration point man on syria. that basically has been lying to the president. he has been misleading the president as to the actual troop numbers in syria. and although we're going to get about 200 forces there, i don't doubt that if you know it's at least 900 maybe even more. and what is so shocking about all of this is that he was very proud of having misled the president and the media were clapping and cheering. oh, this is wonderful. that there's the deep state who all the national security state is simply misleading. the elected commander in chief, so it is very troubling, as you know, given in just there are, you know,

and when george just said there me and there's no consequences for obstruct the your, your superior, the commander in chief here. i mean, 8th this, i, jeffrey's character, i mean, they implied again because he out we did that, the president of the united states under any other president. this would be serious charges here. not only would you be him, you humiliated you would probably be barred from working in the national securities they ever again. and i don't know, maybe even legal issues in play here. but just the opposite here that sharing this year, i've said from the beginning of the trump presidency, this resistance opposition to the president when in the government is destroying institutions. and one of the most sacred institutions we have is as the civilian control of the military, go ahead. yes, and in fact, one where i am in no suspiciously like military control or 46 because generals benefit or just command and nato forces

in, in europe. he is now in that 20 council. he is now advising, you know, their us foreign policy. i'm sure he will gain more importance on the trump. and ben, one just has just recently sat that we should include georgia in nato know where everyone understands what kind of course it was a step may have. he said that with ukraine we can postpone it somewhat. but again, you know, ukraine would be the reddest of the red lines, you know, for russia. so these people, again generous and replaced for defense secretaries during his term. so it's not, the lack or constitutional policy is the fact that they are all against, you know, there is an idea. what would you against him? not just if you misbehave in generals, and what is especially troubling is the weight is centered. not only in that many

can be brought media, but in the european media, the european media presents us as trump is going to have a cool before he leaves office. you know, he fired that excellent defense secretary. he fired the chief of music intelligence . he's up to something terrible, you know, and they, the problem is that they got sauce us from the night in the united states. you know, i guess bagel magazine in germany has just published a big interview with james stavridis. the former commander or nato forces in europe and change the ranges. trump is unpredictable. he isn't bitter and frustrated. he can do anything. he can attack iran, know. he can send the u.s. warships to the waters near china and provoke a war there. you know, what is amazing about these outer depot generals is that whatever trance does is bad, you know, he, in syria, they,

they accused him of putting all the troops and even the oil to russians. or, you know, her train in all countries, friends, you know, you know, wars, you know, encroaching on syrian territory would tell pretty well just recently there were nights this was cleared, been, you know, when turkey and other nato hours actually opens the, intervened in syria, you know, just crossing the border sometimes, or helping their insurgents inside syria and that was fine. and suddenly when trump, you know, had an agreement with argon, they said, oh, this is against syrian territory integrity. so there is no one chick with these guys. you know, they are all the is the, they hate trial. if someone is frustrated, predictable, this is them. and, and, and the way this played out in the european press, it just seemed, you know, it's shameless same, and that, that trump wants to have

a coup when you have generals openly disobey him, he'll all been a big, you know, the, i do always, you're not the elected authority, you know what you heard these generals are, and these neo cons are smore concerned with syrian sovereignty in borders that american borders are deep, demas and something they think it's really important here is that trump is deemed to be unpredictable. you know, what is predictable is the reaction to trump in this neo cons in their approach to security policy around the world. they're very, very predictable and that's why they're so dangerous, and there is no control on them. and particularly, it will stop about in the 2nd part of the program under a biden ministries. and this is tell separate, tells us everything. we know that this is, it really has nothing to do with party affiliation. it's that you have these deep state characters. they determine what national security policy is. it's irrelevant to the president as. yes, exactly,

because if you remember during the latter days of the obama administration, this isn't trump, this is obama administration when the junk kerry and sergey lavrov signed an agreement that the united states and russia would jointly conduct military operations against isis within hours of the signing of the agreement, the us military launched an attack against the syrian of these isis against the syrian military. and of course, because this letter is serious, guys don't, is their green mint was not on board of it. the russians are so furious about this . so this was a clear act of sabotage. the military there was basically said, we don't agree with this policy of cooperating with the russians or so we will sabotage this. and so, well, that's what we have. yeah, i mean they, the message of decide that we will maintain a military presence in perpetuity everywhere where we are at the moment. and you

know who viet if you jet military missions. so anything that the president does when he says we need to withdraw, we will sabotage what will equal us all the stories in the, in the media tell, tell the media what they want to hear. trump is erratic, trump is in saying, trump is not assisting trump and doesn't have any understanding about strategy. and therefore, you know, we just create the atmosphere in which any withdrawal becomes out of the question. because it's either assuaging insane ego, all the whole helping the kremlin. and we know the links that when the kremlin and from so these people are really very, very dangerous and should be cut down to size many, many years ago. you know that ever since the law and going into the iraq war, but, you know, all of those people they failed up were apparently ok if you could, you can be wrong, but it doesn't hurt your c.v.

and your future prospects in india it's, it's been widely rumored that trump may, or he's considering a run for the presidency in 2024 what he does not last few months. this term is time in the, in the, in the white house could be determinant because this is a very important promise you made in 2016 just in these forests here is within his grasp to do it. all that there isn't a ray of forces against them to stop it, which we've already alluded to here. but this is very important to him just because you know, he, he has been defeated by the deep state. i think we have to all admit that. ok, this is his chance to go out and blazing laurie to say i did this and that is a message to his base because it's going to be a rocky 4 years. well, our think if he is smart, he is going to repeat all the time. i was the 1st president in 30 years,

who didn't start a single new war, but it will be very difficult for him to reach the people because all of the media saying exactly the opposite. you know, the media saying we're going to be back to the good old days. you know, we're going to be back to stability of the obama years, which the ability of burma started. several wars, or at least he made the march more dangerous and bloddy than they could be, you know, in leaving he, he intervened and this is evil who is still continuing in syria. he intervened on the side of the forces which lost and which almost ruined because entry in ukraine . he changed the regime and the situation is still very dangerous. so when people talk about stability and about experience diplomats or, or clinton years, those are just ludicrous you know, and of the obama years. and it's very important talking about the generals. i think

ray mcgovern was right to pay attention to what john brennan had to say. john brennan told m.s.n. b.c. that wholesale dickless if occasional intelligence in order to further trumps political interests is going to take place. again, protestant predictable, he's going to do something terrible. yes. he may fulfill the us constitution and expose. well, i'm sorry your word us because john briggs was there also all that gold using program and of the enemies, the john brennan prided himself on that. the new york times when trump wanted transparency and a less media are again, originally going to jump in. here we go to a short break and at the bench, or bring in awareness. question. the future for united states

join me every thursday on the alex simon short. and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. sports business, i'm show business. i'll see you then there was no soup, we were sleeves. sure. but a truth to wu clubbable was if you are sure to keep the ikea board approved and culturally emerged, that would have been the promotion. you've got to go with us because all of this going to use, the broncos told me game we will see in the movie, confused with seemingly more senior officers. but is the most severe some of what is in your speech. come off the news, the of the 20th century was thing in a revolution. the great depression and world wars, the 21st century of mental illness,

those aren't my words. that's what surfaced. some psychologists tell us, the only question is, should we accept it as a fact? or no one else childes seemed wrong. all right, all were all just all the world yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. a new gold rush is underway and gonna thousands of ill equipped workers are flocking to the gold fields, hoping to strike it. rich. as they were,

children are torn between gold was very poor. i thought i was doing my best to get back to school. which side will have the strongest appeal. welcome back to cross town where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle remind you. we're talking about a possible by foreign policy. ok let's go back to george in budapest, george, i'm not in the habit of reading joe biden's tweets, but he did have to say this when we're talking about a future up potentially future or in policy. when i am speaking to foreign leaders, i am telling them america is back. we're going to be back in the game. what do you take? what's your take away from now?

because that gives me dark for voting. go ahead. whether dark forebodings are very, just if i have, i'm assuming that what he means is that we're going to go back to the interventionism of the bush obama years, which means wherever there is any kind of a conflict or any potential for conflict, america will be there to stoke the fires and make sure that the conflict intensifies and the killing will stop and then american poses the intervenor against the bad guys of peacemaker or whatever. i think that's been the model of the last couple of decades and it's very lucrative. george, it's a very lucrative modeler, very lucrative, exactly. something to do for the you leave the administration, you've got a nice consultancy gig with a think tank over the military hardware, a producer. and you know,

you have lots of lox and lots of government jobs. so we can already see, you know, maybe now there's been, is a success on the part of trump in avoiding getting involved in the ongoing civil war in libya. you know, you can be absolutely certain that the ministration will get itself involved in the, in the civil war in libya, syria, already and in a blink in who's like, you have a very senior position within the byte ministration. as he's already said, that he intends to remain you the war against bashar al assad overthrow him. so that means we'll be back to sponsoring isis and al-qaeda and everything the america been doing during the obama years. ukraine. ukraine is biting baby when he wants to do more in more ways than one. exactly. it is that he wants to justify the 2014

coup organized by obama and biden. and then of course, biden's lucrative career subsequently there. and i was a thing in the leg or in a car about situation is still unstable, and biden, the ministration will get itself sucked into that one as well. and i'm sure there are others that people can mention where the biden will become active when it's a lot of her running the world. ok, and human tell me what your thoughts are and things that you've heard of. a potential by foreign policy, as it relates to russia, might the way i have looked at it for, for 2 decades now, is that the kremlin has prepared for anyone that goes into the white house because it's basically being prepared for the worst. and that has been a realistic approach. what are your thoughts that? well, maybe just a small correction to what joint just said, i'm not sure. i would say that the united states often directly isis or al qaeda.

but certainly the united states helped the forces which had the same ideology. bottled up money could trickle to the most radical groups. i mean, look at syria. when did isis appear in 2013? right after it became apparent that that a bomb would not get here. but i think in positions, if it's part of the historical record, the united states officials in the united states knew, with this weaponry, was going into this money was going, it's very end of the hour. it ended up in defense, all of them or straight to go for us. you're absolutely right, but i think it's very important to mention here that when during the terrorist acts in europe, we hear about the people who perpetrated these acts and they were active in syria, the u.s. media, the western media in general, always reports of talk as if she has to respond in 2013 when the so-called islamic

state official gets out of to function in syria. and of course these people who are active in there are also there, you know, before the, i mean official launch. an old guy says there are groups with the same ideology or pursuing the same agenda. they just didn't call themselves isis. it was me hope americans would do their job for them won't be no resistance. so i agree, absolutely. with what george just said, and what you said, these policies are going to be more aggressive because trump was just an american nationalist, unpleasant, cruel, you know, radio for cruelty. but he wasn't, he wasn't ideological, you know, or his ideology was very simple. you know, i know is there no, i support israel, i don't know we ron. i think we should wonder, ron, you know, i think the deep state was so much opposed to tromp, that they didn't go along with his idea or take in iraq. and now it's just very

fine and you see how james the regis is sane, or trump is dangerous. you mad? they could rendezvous? have? i'm very beautiful. concentrations in 2000, they had one, a bomb, a pool, and of the same idea. there were no doubts about it. you know, people against the grain just said, oh yes, yes, we should do something about iran and there was no problem. but you remember how people were actually to emigrate in from iran joined there by john and other places because they were afraid of american strikes. huge american strikes coming. what i think, what is very dangerous is that they ask away ssion in ukraine, and here i would like to point your attention to the article in the, you know, american conservative ukraine spiral, play in minsk by mark piece capus. you know, the author writes quite rightly and that biden has been stitched honestly. it is polish, the polish overall bake against russia, including for the me to create the author writes, i think wrongly, that until now, this aide was defensive, how he may bite,

and may push ukraine to feel what ukrainians, the something authorities themselves call gratian scenario. just like croatian financial scenario you find in any georgians. what's really interesting is that, well, there is a going from the united states to ukraine, i mean, and trump got impeached over it. apparently, what's really interesting to me is that the president of ukraine, because of the situation on the ground, was having to have to think about some kind of reconciliation with russia. and he can go through different sectors, but it like energy, for example. after all of this, crane's biggest trading partner remains russia here. now, there are certainly in those where they came to power after the coup and in 2014, they want a much more striking policy. and by most people want to,

the reason i'm pointing this out is that lift alone. and that reconciliation and simmering down accompli can happen when you have an outside power like the united states. we can look at libya, we can look at syria, we can look at afghanistan, iraq, and the ukraine. this is what i mean, what i meant in my introduction, you know, picking up where obama left off your head. yes, that's exactly right, because russia's made clear that he has no interest in and next thing, any ukrainian territory. so those who are living in the nets then no real hope of being incorporated within russia. so the only thing that the russians insist on is the special status for these, these 2 provinces. now that kiev hasn't really made any moves towards achieving that. and this as keeps the conflict going now with biden team. there they view things as a 0 sum game. if they get,

if they heat up the conflict in ukraine, some kind of a new offensive against the donetsk and lugansk for them. it's a win win. you know, it's, i either don't know, it's going to defeat that, which is unlikely, are, or russia is drawn into the conflict, which means russia and ukraine are at loggerheads. and it's a, it's a real headache for the russians because it's a, it's a, it's a serious military conflict between 2 brother nations and their former. you know, them, they are in on the border. exactly. so they don't really care about ukrainians. they just see it as a 0 sum game that is bad for russia, and that's the mentality of these people. that's what they, they are very dangerous because their only thing and zone is, let's make life as difficult as possible for russia. let, let's have them suck them into all kinds of conflict which then makes them gives them headaches, may cause instability within russia. and that's

a very dangerous game to play, because we really don't know, you know, the how easy you know, how easily such situations going to get out of control. you know, you know, it seems to me in the left, in the united states, i'm not learn the lesson. they just never had an autopsy of why hillary clinton lost one of the reasons why she lost is the unpopularity of foreign wars, endless wars. and i would go in interventions and there's meddling, as george just described, who is when it comes to ukraine. they haven't learned a lesson. and you know what, these neo cons and deep sea players, they're quite happy with that. ok. because they can continue down the path of their ideological obsessions and russia is one of them. and of course china is getting higher and higher on the menu. go ahead. well, you are right. you know, even the 82 of, or joe biden 2 or more than 70000000 people who voted for trump. he didn't have

anything to tell them, except i also lost a few times in my life. you know, he didn't say or we're going to correct the portion probably we did something wrong before 2016. why are there still may? no you who he was here and not of your he was an o.e. back to warfare. ok. i'm going to go to, you know, was that part of the campaign? george was it ever mentioned during the general campaign about supporting endless wars? i don't, i don't remember it coming up is nearby. just the opposite. during the democratic convention, they brought out all of these neo cons, cheering a field of foreign policy. ok, because i say failed because the american people voted against it in 2 reelection cycles. they voted against war. ok. and what i'm saying is, there's just this huge disconnect here, george, i'll give you the last 30 seconds. yes, that's right,

that's what you get with the biden scene. and the, this is the standard interventionism. and this is a rebuttal to hold by a political career has been about, i will remember from the 99 years when he was an absolutely implacable advocate bombing yugoslavia. he was our odd supporter of that. he didn't just both baber of the iraq war. was he as well there? and then? yeah, the americans say, wow, i think we sure politician, iraq as if it's within the current rip, we're almost out of town yourself and i'm here of former secretary of defense. robert gates said about joe biden. every, every policy stance he took foreign policy was wrong. we'll probably find that us as all the time we have got to make my guess and budapest and must go. i'm going to take our viewers for watching us here, our p.c. next time. remember

the world is driven by the dares thinks we dare to ask is your media a reflection of real in a world transformed what will make you feel safe?

isolation or community? are you going the right way or are you being led? direct? what is true? what is faith in a world corrupted, you need to descend to join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. during the vietnam war, us forces also bomb to neighboring laos. there was a secret war. and for years the american people did not know. until our thelma is officially the mouth can rebound country per capita all human history. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn,

we don't think it's happening there. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for that tragedy in laos? what help do the people need in that little land of mines? it was always on the bull, but at least nationally big city, bright lights, huge opportunities and many dangers because of the risk of the glare that led to it's also a city where up to $300000.00 crimes are committed every year goes by the last little bit more than your most filth of the reserve least one police officer for every 200 residents in russia's capital lost on the english. and i would like to me that i will not go with the wind up toy singing along with the beatles. or what i am to most of

the headlines this hour moscow, these detainees keeping mission in the corner. cutting back after brokering a cease fire between armenia and displaced, correspondent heads the former front line in the region where russian personnel will be stationed. meanwhile, displaced under the new deal, amin's force that there is no wonder the control of his time and torched their homes. they say they don't want to leave them for what they see as the enemy. and we had a good life. it now we are tearing down the houses, we built ourselves. i know one thing for sure. i wouldn't even want my kidney me to find himself in a situation like this case. it is very hard, but we do not have any other choice on the side to come. joe biden is already taking his team to.
