it seems we've not heard much about foreign policy and now we have china, iran, north korea, and venezuela to a headm isa venezuela all coming to a headm is a complicated world and these issues have been on the back burner, and sometimes the flame gets turned up and sometimes the flame gets turned up higher than others. the president likes to maximise the problem and then come back with, is a relatively rational solution, so i'm not at all surprised that this is all happening at one time but it'll require the attention of the president in a serious way. are there some of these countries where maximum pressure might work better than others? yes. in the case of north korea. i think it really is an issue of romance neglect. i think kimjong—un is raising the issue of firing these missiles or projectiles in order to get the president's attention. i know you are preoccupied with iran, venezuela, and china, but don't forget about me. i don't think it is more than that at this point, to the extent the president ignores it and doesn't devote enough attention, then it could get worse, but i think th

iran, venezuela north korea and i would add possibility of nuclear arms control negotiations but whatcerns me most is the imparent intent of mr. bolton to lead the united states into a direct military conflict with iran. and that would be of concern not only to russia but to every country until the world except two or three. >> all of that said, timing-wise, tom, the question is why -- if it is russia and again that is still an if, we don't have the confirmed report and former bush official and known trump official richard paintered tweeted this, pressing issues? got to get a war going before mueller shows up to testify and he's referring to special counsel possibly testifying before the house judiciary committee may 15th. what are your thoughts on that? >> well i wouldn't speculate in that direction. but i would say that i am deeply concerned about the similarity in rhetoric and in the manipulation of information between mr. bolton's campaign today and the way the bush administration used rhetoric and cherry picked intelligence to lead us into war in iraq in 2003. so that concerns me

there are four wars, china trade war, iran, venezuela, north korea.defense? you should have been planning a secretary of defense before you decided to have military confrontations in every one of them -- not china yet. but all you need right now is one mistake over one of the islands near china, one naval ship that goes a little too far. i think it's really -- talk about -- forget all the obstruction of justice. what a malpractice of politics to literally have a confrontation going now between north korea. you just took the cold ship. iran you sent another aircraft carrier and a squadron there. you have venezuela in a standoff and now is when you want the secretary of defense? you should have had this a year ago. >> the president does seem reluctant to getting pushed into a confrontation in venezuela. does seem reluctant clearly with north korea, less so with iran. >> this is his personality. i mean, listen -- >> but we need a foreign policy, not a personality. >> i understand that. i'm trying to explain that to you. hang in there. >> i'm impatient. >

like military action for venezuela and unrelenting force toward a pet atlanta iran, this is also the cuddly fellow who authored the op-ed the legal case for striking north koreahad a skirmish fetish, and it's no surprise the president's national security adviser's salty battle barbs are growing directly proportion naught to a triumvirate of iran, venezuela and north korea all at the same time. all three are heavily sanctioned, but if bolton had his way, they'll also be heavily shelled as the interventionist may be going rogue under the president's nose. the president may be an unorthodox negotiator, no doubt about that, but his anti-interventionist streak has been one of the most pleasantly consistent things about him. he's been serious about drawing down troops in afghanistan and syria, and he clearly wants victory with his chubby buddy in north korean. i get the sense that these are bolton's fantasies and the president is right the shun this military pornography before it turns into full-scale nuclear prostitution. the john bolton needs to be brought down a peg, and the president needs to refocus his diplomacy while sir cookie duster thinks about the virtue

iran through that? is that likely to work? there are three countries trying to do this, north korea, venezuela and iran, and it doesn't seem to the reasons is that when trump came in he essentially declared war on his closest allies and if you are trying to achieve your objective, you need willing allies, you need to trade deal in the pacific that utah app, would have contained china's economic ambitions, he has been very rude to nato, europe is not going to join him in any hostilities on iran and as jeffrey said, join him in any hostilities on iran and asjeffrey said, he had a deal that delivered what he now says he wa nts, that delivered what he now says he wants, so he has gone about achieving his objectives in possibly the worst way if you are not going to go to war, this kind of thing, you are a paper tiger, as the chinese would say. steve, the europeans and the brits are ina steve, the europeans and the brits are in a difficult position because this is an ally and they are signatories to the nuclear accord, signed in 2015, they wanted to work, but now they have got the major us player who has torn it up, left. where can
