years of negotiations should be allow mr trump to kill this deal no diffidently we should prove to mr frum that he will be a loser they want to march while walking away from this pact we have we'll known as dr this you we have very much calculated the strategy we can come from the situation room. i think the russian policy both in the region and international community especially reserve the nuclear project is very rational we support the position we have various to close collaboration with the government of russia now speaking about the russian regional a policy there is some concern in moscow the trumpet ministration may choose to try and turn the course of the syrian war by launching yet another unilateral strike on damascus the russians have already said with me it retaliation i'm sure of that will see a unilateral strike by the united states as an act of a russian but i'm also sure that you have little interest in seeing a major clash between nuclear powers in your on your own borders what is your understanding of what a proportional reaction to american aggression in syria could be i
