ally.this is a quite a simplistic picture that i sometimes read. what you mentioned that russia actually voted for all sanctions in iran, and russia canceled a deal after 2010 sanctions. the previous made several nasty statements about russia. now i think a russian-iranian relationship has improved. it is helpful and great. there are different views and moscow on whether we should increase the -- encourage a u.s.-iranian interest or not. some people do not think it is an russian interest because if iran improves relationship with united states, it will immediately turn to the west and forget about everything we did for iran. and that is why we should try to prevent it. but i think it is very shortsighted because my position we will -- we should encourage this and we will benefit out of a u.s.-iranian healthy relationship because iran is an extremely important regional player. iran's influence is growing. the u.s. invasion in iraq created the opportunity for iran. and for russia, it is very

allies are leery. the missile part of the program isn't touched. they can continue to missile development. they can continue weapons and the work that we think they do the work isn't open to inspectors so if you are looking at triggers and models they would have to do has to happen there. and on enrichment, which is shocking to me, it can't me much of a deal if the secretary of state is announcing there is nothing in the deal that says they can enrich and the iranians say it deal allows us to continue to enrich. i am not bright and no fbi agent, but we call hat an include there is a problem in the deal. if you cannot deal on the most primary central focus of what we were trying to accomplish if you cannot agree on that, that is not a deal or a very good deal. why that is so important is they will try to sell the 20% enrichment that we will get them to halt and convert to a powder form. the problem is it takes 30 days to reckocoreconvert it. and the significant milestone to enriching up to weapon grades

, one of our oldest allies, really, gives us more confidence. facing china, however, we see--we look at it as david versus goliath. we have elevated the government has elevated the case through the al jazeera america arbitration course through the hague, there is a case there right now on the south china sea dispute. having the united states support this measurement is something that the people really appreciate, the public and the government, that they have a backer some how. >> ddon't you have to live with china as a neighbor. and a new relationship now that it's a more powerful and wealthy country is there risk of having it look like provocation in beijing? >> so definitely we are also trying to be more measured in our approach knowing that the u.s. is here and taking steps. the rebalancing strategy of president obama, so i think the government is worried that it might send the wrong signal to china, that we're trying to form what they already call an axis. we want to hear these words because it reminds us of potential conflict. the tension i

against the soviet union and he was lining up allies in pakistan was willing to be an ally in india wanted to be nonaligned. so that was part of this relationship. but in a few years, eisenhower said that it is a mistake to seek out allies and then that military will never be for which we are arming them. they never gave troops to korea or others and the views were provided to fight communism to fight the indians. and so this was how the mistake was made. the assumption that, you know, once we have on that, we will be able to make the focus and pakistan's focus was india. not the solution and that means good relationships between our gender. and some of the languorous, just a little bit more aid than they would've been able to change that perception. and they are people like me who view this very differently in this includes what i think, building a more prosperous country and that is not the view of their military. >> host: based on this prison system and the islamist national identity, can you talk about the evolution of this identity as you have referred to it? what has strengthe

the close ally. but the russians had an interest in making sure that in syria those danger use weapons didn't fall to the hands of the stream islamic al qaeda-related elements. this is obviously one area in syria we and the russians have some common interests. because we, united states, also want to make sure that in the chaos of syria you do not have al qaeda-type extremist elements taking route. and certainly dangerous to the united and russia to have them call weapons fall to their hands. getting those weapon out of the hand of assad. which demonstrated a willingnd to use them. so, look, it's always hard to make large generalization based on specific case. at least this case, i believe that it was something that was in both our interests and, you know, i disagree with my friend -- mike rogers in this. that the notion that somehow the russians were the big winners at the company the united states in this deal. it's just -- to me, absurd. the president's goal with respect to the threat of force was

many allies in the region fear the u.s.' withdrawing from its traditional role in the middle east but hagel said after a decade of war the u.s. will not shirk its responsibilities in the middle east. >> we know diplomacy cannot operate in a vacuum. our success will continue to hinge on america's military power, and the credibility of our assurances to our allies. >> following that he met with senior afghan officials in an effort to push karzai to sign a bilateral security agreement which has been agreed upon by president karzai, trying to win more concessions by the united states. once the deal is signed by karzai and everyone believes it will be signed, it's just a matter of when, the pentagon is expected to announce that 10,000 american troops will remain in afghanistan post 2014 to help train and mentor the afghan security forces. greg? >> live in jerusalem with that court. connor, thanks very much. >>> it's been a great homecoming and i'm tired but ready to be with my family now. thank you all for the support we got. ver

>> it's a fair question, i think, of o allies. the degree to which we're prepared to protect our interests in the area. it happens that the japanese who administered that zone over decades. there's also substantial crude oil reserves and gas. this is an interest worlthd preserving forhe japanese who are, of course, utterly energy independent. >> economically there's been prosperity ithat part of the world now for over 20 years. the united states military in helping to provide stability in that region of the world has been a force for good. that's the harsh reality of it. we're going to have to stay focused in working with our allies at the same time we obviously want to have a dect relationship with china, but we have to manage this relationship and we cannot have the chinese pushing our allies around and pushing us around. >> as at least metaphorically president obama bows to president xi, he's doing the same with president putin in averting his eyes from the ukraine in which its behaving, the current government, despite a popula

this threatens our allies. it threatens our closest ally, the jewish state of israel.materialtrue that this is just one aspect but there is also weaponization to consider and also ballistic missiles? this deal does not address these. iran has announced a significant advancement on its ballistic missile program. why was it decided to leave these aspects of iran's nuclear weapons program unaddressed in the agreement? the administration's acceptance of iran's a legitimate claim to a right to enrich uranium. iran says this deal does give it that right. i expect the iranian regime to welcome in the entire international community, to show that it has not violated terms of the deal. both the administration and the media will be effusive in their praise of iran's fulfillment of the deal. we set the bar solo that iran will probably comply and we must not be fooled by that approach. it will be to late to stop them. how long would it take for iran to enrich uranium from 3.5% to 90% with its current nuclear infrastructure with the advanced centrifuges? i was the author of several

the middle of it doesn't really want to tangle with china and at the same time it has to support its ally japan but it's mostly a bystander role that it's playing john if i can stay with you that it's very interesting how you phrase this because the weakest link of american foreign policy in the pacific is its allies potentially because what it the japanese wanted to be more aggressive the filipinos the south koreans go on and on this is it's of to kerry's position for the united states to be put in because he wants to be quote unquote neutral but not everyone in the region wants the united states to be neutral and then because of these treaty commitments the united states may find itself having to do something that it really doesn't want to do go ahead john. as you point out the united states you know professes to be neutral it is kind of secured its position in the asia pacific region as a so-called honest broker and so it has tried to do this at the same time of course it has allies so it's very difficult for the united states to actually be an honest broker when it supplies south kore
